Texas Redneck Bigot Promises To Run Al Sharpton Out Of Texas

Recently, an unidentified white man from Texas made a video threatening to “calmingly” go up to Al Sharpton and the Black Panthers and proceed to run them out of Texas.

He references the “If We Can’t Swim, You Can’t Drive” protests that are taking place in McKinney, Texas, following the police brutality incident captured earlier this month at a summer neighborhood pool party. See the full story, here.

I found this video to be an interesting psychological study of how bigots think other people view them. The level of narcissism in this video is quite profound and hilarious. The white privilege and arrogance of this man was probably louder than his beer-infused breath or his marvelous body odor.

In the video you’ll notice the following things about this man:

1. He does not believe Texas has a “race problem.” He believes Texas is the multicultural beacon of modern civilization. He obviously doesn’t see the multiple protests against Muslims trying to practice their faith as cultural intolerance.
2. He uses the term “Red-Blooded American” — this term is a code word for White. The term and his phrasing speaks to a very specific person.
3. He sees any discussion of racial injustice as “race baiting.” Because remember, everything’s just fine in Texas.
4. He elevates himself as a leader against the “race baiters.” His megalomania rearing it’s ugly head right there.
5. He makes thinly veiled threats against those who disagree with him.
6. The smug self-satisfied look on his face which he maintains throughout the video.
