I don't see anywhere on this page that someone claims that they set out to make that point. Bshimmin did not say "one of the main points of that video", they said "one of the main points of contention of that video."
It seems to me that the creators of that video were simply looking for street harassment, from any source. They didn't find significant harassment from white men, but they did find it coming from black men. The picked the worst of the harassment for their short video and published it. Then people (no one in this thread) accused them of trying to paint black men as harassers, which they (reasonably) denied.
All of this made the question of racial variance in street harassment a point of contention (a matter of dispute) of that video, as Bshimmin suggested.
And yet you accused Bshimmon with "Your summary is dishonestly inaccurate." in response to "Have you seen [link] ? That statement, slur or no, was certainly one of the main points of contention of that video."
It does not appear to me that Bshimmon was being dishonestly inaccurate in that comment.
