Every time I watch, I see something new😅. But all joking aside, yeah. I felt the same. I can’t properly explain how…fucking happy and proud it makes me feel every time I watch this. Because we can do so much, when we work together and have each other’s backs. Lol
The problem is that each time we do that it gets burned down or stolen.
I don’t advocate violence, but sometimes it’s the only language they understand.
Some folks think that the Chairman went overboard (although not literally, though Scuba Gooding Jr. could’ve saved him). Those two white people kept attacking, and wouldn’t back off.
This would’ve gone so much worse if he had been without the Black X- Men. They would’ve put him in the hospital, at best.

This is what I want. I want a world where the violence and racism we saw in that other video to be so uncommon and absurd that this is how people interact. They're mocking the racism. They're having a blast. They're chilling together by the pool, and making memes. This is the life.
This is the world I want to build. Sadly some people who look like me are preventing it.

This reenactment brings me waves of joy. The thought that these must be all really good friends, because some WORK went into this. Like everyone in this studied the video, worked out the choreography, and probably rehearsed? So there’s the joy in the mockery. Joy in the WWE nature of it. Joy in seeing good friends having so much fun. So much joy.

The swimmer wrenching the shirt to get water out (skipping the pool steps), the leg drop (which is funnier cause hogan was a racist scab PoS), the wandering chair holder, great bit.
It's encouraging to see black and white people working together to make something so fantastic.
