White people really out here clutching their pearls and gasping “I don’t BELIEVE in violence!” when a black man defends his wife from a vicious and very public attack.

Funny how this is the point where you suddenly decide to take a stand against violence.

Some white people are trying desperately to feign some type of moral high ground about Will's actions, yet their whole history is devoid of morality, conscience, and respectability.

The overreaction is giving anti-black... idc. The world is too unaccustomed to seeing black women protected or even cherished. Black woman are constantly expected to always extend grace despite always being the butt of crude jokes, misogynoir, micro-aggressions, etc.

I commend Will for putting Coon Rock in check on that type of platform. It was long overdue.

Theyre right and they should say it.

Examples of Roman Samian ware (Terra Sigillata).

‘Samian ware’ is a type of mould-made pottery, and was the standard fine table ware of the Roman world during the early empire.

The 2nd image is a close up of the 1st bowl shown. Depicting hunting scenes, this piece of pottery was found in Kingsmead Quarry (Horton, England), and dates to about 120-145 CE. The mounded decoration in the 3rd image comes from a bowl found during excavations at the former County Hospital, Dorchester, Dorset (England). Next is a 1st century bowl found nearby at Greyhound Yard, and can now be viewed at the Dorset County Museum.

A Samian pottery stamp can be seen in the last image. It reads C.ATVLLVS with the ‘s’ reversed. As Wessex Archaeology note: “this is thought to relate to Catullus VI, a potter working in Trier, Western Germany during the second and third centuries AD. This is the inscription from one of two identical pieces of Samian ware discovered by the crew of the Arco Beck.”
