According to the report, the attack occurred in an establishment in Mstoles, a city in the Madrid region, at around 7am. The actor, known by his stage name Elton Prince, approached the counter with his friends to order coffee when a woman, accompanied by a man, said to him: I dont want black people in this place or in front of me.

According to Makons Facebook post about the incident, he replied: No Miss, I will only be here for a moment and then Im leaving. I dont have any interest in staying near you for long. The 33-year-old woman, who is from El Salvador, then allegedly replied: I dont care, you black piece of shit, get out of here. He said: Calm down Miss, I insist, we are in a public place and I dont understand your anger.

Black piece of shit, Im white. I can kill you and nothing will happen, she said, before grabbing a beer bottle and smashing it against the actors head. She hit him a second time, causing a cut to his head among other injuries, which required medical attention.

Whats funny is that before hitting me with the bottle she said to me, Im white and we are in Spain. I can kill you and nothing will happen to me. The truth is nothing has happened to her, he added. After being identified she has gone home, while I have gone to mine with seven stitches. Now the problem is in the hands of the law. The law will decide on the sentence.

well, i guess she was half-right. i'm not sure if they'd be willing to extradite her to face charges for assault or attempted murder. he sounds like a stand-up guy with nerves of steel given how he reacted to her comments.

At least it says the other people in the bar and the owners helped him out after the fact so I don't have to completely lose my faith in humanity today.

And props to the guy for containing himself and not attacking the woman. If someone hit me with a bottle after saying that stuff, I'd lose my shit. Glad she was identified.

i was impressed as well. the majority of people would already be upset just from the comments and the bottle would cause them to justifiably fly into a blind rage. i'm really not sure why she thought people would be ok with this. i'm unaware of spain being particularly racist to the point where people would just write that off.

people that dealt with this shit their whole lives

Don't be impressed, she won't get in any trouble. In fact it says she was already released without charge.
---

I would have definitely punched her in the face.
---

Terrible.
---

She was right, nothing happened to her

It is rather troubling that they haven't done anything to her, but from what I understand, Spain has a rather spotty record with how it treats Black people.

oh, really. i didn't know that, but this would explain why they're the only country besides San Marino that doesn't have a watch dog organization for racism.
