The entitlement of some white people has really gotten out of hand.
A riverfront brawl in Montgomery, Alabama last weekend displays this in 2023. And enough was enough. Let’s hope Law Enforcement and the courts back this up.
The “brawl” took place along Montgomery's downtown riverfront, which the city has worked hard to develop into a tourist / recreation site including restaurants, bars and hotels. This is not a good look.

More arrest warrants could be issued after shocking video shows Montgomery, Alabama, riverfront brawl BY JERICKA DUNCAN, ANALISA NOVAK AUGUST 8, 2023 / 10:18 AM / CBS NEWS Four arrest warrants have been issued in connection with a riverfront brawl in Alabama, with the potential for more to be issued pending a comprehensive review, according to Maj. Saba Coleman of the Montgomery Police Department. Shocking video captured the tumultuous scene that unfolded Saturday as what appeared to be a simple disagreement escalated into a violent clash in Montgomery. The incident, which unfolded at the Harriott II Riverboat docking area, involved a group of White people pummeling a Black riverboat worker, an exchange that sparked a massive fight. The incident has since gone viral and ignited discussions about race.
Below are some other tweets that are circulating. These are quite enlightening.
I know a lot of folks have a problem with people including “Tweets” in their diaries. But Black Twitter is much, much more honest about what happens to Black folk than traditional media. Because these are the reports from actual BLACK PEOPLE. The CNN version is much more Anglo-friendly. They weren’t even there.
