"You Embarrass America": A Video Caught An Oregon Man Yelling Anti-Gay And Sexist Slurs At A Lesbian Couple

Police in Portland, Oregon, are investigating an incident caught on video in which a young man went on a threatening and anti-gay rant against a lesbian couple on Sunday.

One of the women, Trudy Dragoon, posted the video on her Facebook page, saying the man began his rant after a (truck) he was in sped toward the couple as they crossed the street.

A man inside the truck then yelled, "Get out of the road, you fucking dykes," Wendy said.

The truck then turned around and stopped next to the couple and the blonde man in the video got out and, according to Wendy,
lunged toward Trudy, yelling, "I'll beat the fuck out of these dykes," prompting her to start recording him.

(Police did nothing at the scene and are 'investigating')

in California, ‘go back to China’ for folks who were born here is now a common occurence. White nationalism has infected all 50 states EXCEPT Hawaii - my favorite state. I can’t wait until we no longer have white majority in this country. Every white person in the US is an immigrant descendant unlike most African Americans whose ancestors were imported here by force or native Americans or Mexicans in some states. SPLC reports dramatic increase in hate crimes against racial, religous and sexual minorities across the country.
