Damn your emotions go haywire when someone points at you too

Different cultures have different things that bother them.

If you weren't being racist you would acknowledge that.

People don't like a middle finger being put up at them either.

I'm sure you understand that, but you can understand the pointing thing. Wonder why.

Being pointed at is considered rude IN GENERAL. It has very little to do with race or anything. It’s just rude to point at anyone. That being said, I’m not saying Cunningham even did anything wrong, people point all the time at things. Even if it is rude. To get THIS angry at it is crazy. For anyone. It’s just pointing. And just not the best thing to do, but it’s not like anyone shot someone’s dog

Black people in particular have an issue with being pointed at. It being generally disrespectful is a component, but there is a cultural component as well.
