Viral Videos Of Black Boys Fighting Racist White Bullies Sparks Intense Debate On Using Violence To Combat Hatred

Although some people celebrate Black boys standing up for themselves, some wonder if violence is the right way to combat their bullies.
Two recent videos in particular have gained much traction on Instagram. In both clips, a Black child or teen physically fights their alleged bully.
