Black woman suggests "beating down" a white woman who seems a bit racist. Rev. Wright did you hear that?

Now, I'm not sure what the women is saying or to whom other than she seems to be saying a black person on the train is not English but black. (We are assuming the black is not a visiting or illegal African immigrant but a black English citizen.) But while that is def not cool if the former is the case, the women narrating this--a black women--says the white women should get a "beat down" and have her child "snatched" from her. Really? Can someone tell the narrator civilized people don't "beat down" people who say things we don't like. Hell, if that were the case, I'd have custody of every child of every person who every called me a bitch and a baseball bat to plug them with, or how did the black women put it? oh yeah, "Beat down" with my bat. The only people I see verbally beat down in public by hatred are women. This was a rare occasion. That is why we are seeing the video. Can you imagine if we made of video of every woman called a bitch by a stranger on the subway or street?

Perhaps the women was just sick and tired of being called the B word by ignorant sexists and lashed out. When a black worker at Starbucks called me a "spoiled white bitch" I didn't beat her down or even think anyone should. I didn't think someone should snatch her baby, I did think that I'd think a lot less about racism going forward.

If every person who said

If every person who said something sexist to me got a "beat down" there'd be a lot of hospitalized people.
