August 6th 2023.
The weekend has been a time of unified support for the Black community. From Jamie Foxx's public call to action around Jennifer Aniston to the now infamous “Alabama Brawl For It All”, it seems like our ancestors are proud of the way we’ve come together.
The brawl started because a pontoon boat was preventing a riverboat from docking. Allegedly, a riverboat worker was assaulted by some of the passengers on the pontoon boat, but those claims remain unverified.
The brawl has since gone viral, with a particular video showing a Black man wielding a steel chair, taking a page from Stone Cold Steve Austin’s playbook and causing a stir on Black Twitter.
The Montgomery Police Department responded to the scene and made arrests, with the official statement claiming that “several subjects have been detained and any charges are pending”.
Amidst speculation of racism, the most heartening aspect of the incident is the show of solidarity between Black people. One angle of the video shows a man swimming across the dock to help a Black man who was being assaulted by several white people.
This kind of strength and unity is something to be admired, and it’s clear that those involved have upheld the values of our ancestors. The police are still in the process of determining the charges and identities of the participants, and we can only hope that justice prevails.
