Johnny Gray, 15, punches a white student in Little Rock, Arkansas, on June 16, 1958. Johnny and his sister Mary (standing behind him) were walking to their segregated school when the two white boys in the photo ordered them to get off the sidewalk.

    Two angry kids fighting because adults fucked their heads, and other adults applaud it.

    Dunno, quite a sad scene for my liking.

    Sad that the kid, who probably isn't "fucked in the head," had to deal with two racist fucks. Hopefully they at least learned that black people can kick their ass just as well as anyone else.

    These racist fucks his fighting are just the same children. Their behavior was conditioned by adults in a way that makes them thinking they are more entitled to a sidewalk than that other kid. They have not developed enough soundness to be able to reflect on that.

    They for sure learned that fighting proves a point.
