New video of a brawl at restaurant Dallas BBQ in New York City’s Chelsea neighborhood is raising questions about previous reports on the incident and may corroborate some of what the alleged attacker has said about the fight.
The brawl happened in May 2015 and ended with the suspected attacker, Bayna-Lehkiem El-Amin (below), smashing a chair on the head of another man, Jonathan Snipes. The NYPD were investigating the attack as a hate crime. Snipes said that El-Amin shouted gay slurs at him and his boyfriend as he attacked him.
Recently, El-Amin, who was charged with assault and attempted assault, countersued Snipes and his boyfriend, claiming that he was the victim of the attack. In the lawsuit, El-Amin alleges that Snipes incited the fight. El-Amin claims he tried to intervene in a verbal altercation between Snipes and his boyfriend that was disturbing others at the restaurant. According to El-Aming, this led Snipes to “viciously” strike him on the head with a “heavy, blunt weapon.”
The new footage of the brawl appears to show Snipes making the first move. From there the fight escalates to its ultimately conclusion of El-Amin smashing the chair on Snipes’ head. El-Amin says he did so because he was “left with no choice.”
El-Amin says that his only crime “was to be a man of color wrongly accused by his attacker, a privileged white man.”

Remember when this thread was first posted on here and everyone accused Black people of being homophobic and said that poor lil gay white boy was clearly attacked by that big homophobic black mans first?

As being black myself there is still truth to this sadly.
Snipes did so the others who outright believed it and went straight for the blacks are so homophobic rhetoric.
He did this knowing full well what the response would be.
sorry but whoever used this to accuse blacks of anything is racist and they just used this as an excuse... there is no need to attack white gays... not all of us are trash
we should all love each other, stop this bitterness and mess plz

Of course not but a few are and there has been this seedy underhanded idea that blacks are the boogeyman of homophobia even getting Kerry Washington to "speak out".
It's tired and annoying and this came to a head ever since the prop 8 debacle due to inaccurate numbers.

Imo Kerry Washtington's words we're taken out of context. It was like, one throwaway sentence from a long, long speech but people made it seem like it was some major point or overarching theme throughout the entire thing. She made (offhanded) interracial/same sex marriage comparison, but it really wasn't particularly inappropriate and I don't think she meant for it to be taken the way certain people with certain agendas spun it.
Back on topic, ATRL was liT when this happened, where is everybody now?

Don't take it the wrong way I knew it would be taken out of context and I don't take issue with her at all.
They used her for an ulterior motive and I knew her words would be spun.
it was also reported that the white gay repeatedly called him the n-word but that wasn't reported because it doesn't fit the fragile, i'm-always-the-victim, white gay narrative
