... I didn’t plan to go to the rally. I was in South Carolina .. to recruit African-American college seniors to join the United Negro College Fund (UNCF) national entrepreneurship initiative ... As soon as we walked over a group of white men approached us and asked if we were there to support. And we said ‘No, we are here to see where Bree took down the flag’ ... When we went to take the picture that’s when things got a little ugly. One person asked “Do you think it’s appropriate to raise a black power fist? To do that in this space?” ... After that when we were leaving the same group of men who approached us initially said to respect their position and to respect their space. And we said it wasn’t their space — it was a public space ...

1. These racists wanted you to respect them? They wanted a black person to show respect to them?

Emboldened comes to mind.

2. “Do you think it’s appropriate to raise a black power fist? To do that in this space?”

I suppose it's some small consolation that this person at least acknowledges the fact that the whole thing is about race.
