I've spent my career explaining race, but hit a wall with Montgomery brawl memes

This is why I wear pointed toe Lucchese Cowboy Boots. Sometimes you have to plant them in the right place to get ones attention thereby forcing them to focus on the issue.

Because people with different skin colors are in a fight…… it doesn’t mean the fight is racial. I see this fight as stupid, and started by the pontoon boat owners. That said, in over 30 years mediating disputes and breaking up fights….. the lion share was over WORDS not race. There have been ones over race, but the LIONS SHARE, were over words, perceived or actual disrespect or rudeness, and very often misunderstandings fueled by alcohol. I am not condoning the fight but not every fight that involves different skin tones is about race but they are almost always avoidable……if people use their mouths and brains before they use their fists.
