Watch the Progression: Fight Erupts Over White Lady Calling Black Girls “Animals”



If only they both would have been better about reading body language and facial expressions.  Watch the man who enters and sits down, and how quickly he decides it might be good to move.  Watch her friend who changes seat positions, and her posture, and how she plays a lead role in having the conflict grow...
