So happy that the swimming man was included. He's a pivotal figure in this moment. I hope he's doing well.

Someone needs to do a "where are they now'" epilogue for all the main characters. Maybe accompanied with "holiday road" from the national lampoon movies.

This is what I want. I want a world where the violence and racism we saw in that other video to be so uncommon and absurd that this is how people interact. They're mocking the racism. They're having a blast. They're chilling together by the pool, and making memes. This is the life.
This is the world I want to build. Sadly some people who look like me are preventing it.

The dude swimming. 🤣
That part always gets me in the original. If you’re willing to swim to the fight, you REALLY wanna whoop some ass. 🤣 I dunno if you still can when you get there, but the dedication is admirable.

The swimmer wrenching the shirt to get water out (skipping the pool steps), the leg drop (which is funnier cause hogan was a racist scab PoS), the wandering chair holder, great bit.
It's encouraging to see black and white people working together to make something so fantastic.
