In a video segment being recorded by Jack Tapper of CNN in a neighborhood where White residents have been daily marching in support of Officer Darren Wilson, a local store owner speaks directly to the camera over comments being made by a protestor.
The store owner said that he wanted the protests by the Whites to end. The store owner is quite likely an Indian immigrant owing to his accent. Admittedly, it isn’t always easy to follow what the man is saying because of his thick accent and broken grammar.
Eventually, he is overheard making the point that the community has a high concentration of Blacks, and they take offense at the pro-Wilson marches. He doesn’t want them stirred to anger. The owner wants peace among the community as discord is presumably bad for business.
It is at that point that one of the pro-Wilson supporters asserts his right as a US citizen to protest and adds that the business owner should speak English. In context, he meant grammatically correct and well enunciated English. The store owner takes offense at that and reminds him and everyone else that he is a US citizen and refers to the man with a term that is a stronger variant of the word donkey. It was an example of the type of ignorance and possibly borderline racism that people on both sides of the controversy have been displaying.
One of the pro-Wilson supporters wore blue facial paint in similitude of the bruises Officer Wilson was reported to have suffered from Michael Brown prior to shooting him. Descriptions of those injuries have been proven to be as accurate as the descriptions of Michael Brown being a “gentle giant”. Brown was later video recorded behaving like a street thug as he assaulted and robbed a store owner.
