Violent people have to learn to cool it

Earlier on you said:
"as far as headbutts go, it was a great one, and to a well deserved recipient. Which is kind of harmonious in its own sort of way."

Then you said:
"Justifiable.... well I honestly think only the two gentlemen concerned have enough information to make an informed decision on that one."

* If you feel you are not able to decide what was justifiable in this matter, then why celebrate the violence?

At the end of the day, white and 'mixed-light' male violence is still applauded and defended.

Celebrating white violence in a Black community seems strange, especially while we are presently witnessing the effects of White violence on a global scale. Some may think I should be happy if white violence is confined to white on white. But no, I am not happy with their violence at all, including the fact that it has become the example of how to solve problems. Anyhow, they have always been violent with each other and when that wasn't enough have been fraternally raining violence on darker folks.

I think Black people should be against White violence, especially when there is no justifiable reason for it (like in defense of physical attacks). Even when it is 'justifiable' (I rarely find such circumstances for whites) we should not applaud it. Violent people have to learn to cool themselves.
