First, I'm going to acknowledge the soldier in the video is a dumbass. He's a obnoxious moron.

Although, the way of this report is literally shit. They call him a racist, yet there's no racism involved at all and the white man does not comment on anything about the black man's race.

In fact, there were 3 black people besides the victim and the white man was not aggressive towards them.

The victim is this video is also not that good of a person, as GMA points him out to be.

"On April 8, one incident report says, the man allegedly put his arm around a woman’s waist, put his hand down the right side of her shorts and then put his arm back around her waist as her pants were partly down. On April 10, another report alleges the man repeatedly picked up a baby without permission and tried to walk away."

"Deputies were told that the man approached “several neighbors in a threatening manner” and that someone had asked Pentland to “intervene,” the agency said in a statement."  (Jonathan Pentland, Army sergeant in South Carolina, charged with assault after viral video - The Washington Post)


It's funny GMA plays it that Pentland is a racist, when they are the ones pulling the racist card out of their asses.

@Crocodile
Also note how the title of the video White soldier charged with assault for shoving, berating Black man in viral video l GMA - YouTube. Why define the two parties by their race unless you are trying to push the "white man bad black man good" agenda? Why not title the video "Tall soldier charged with assault of shoving, berating shorter man in viral video"?

Trouble is, tall and short isn't quite so lucrative.

It might be though.......If one was 8 feet tall and the other was three.

But probably, would still be billed as White Giant, bullies Black midget.  

Such is popular demand.

Exactly. People want their to be race disparities. Why else would they highlight race to this degree? We have travelled to a stage where saying  White soldier charged with assault for shoving, berating Black man in viral video is not odd, but if I change the two adjectives to Tall soldier charged with assault for shoving, berating a little man in viral video, would immediately make the article extremely odd. If people really believe that race isn't that big of an issue, they shouldn't point out who's white and who's black when race isn't even a factor regarding the issue of the video.
