Seriously – what is wrong with this man? WBTV reports John Walter Miles, 27, went on a racially-charged rant at a grocery store when a clerk refused to sell him and his girlfriend alcohol. It appears Mr. Miles might have had a few already. According to the Sumter Police Department, Miles refused to leave the store and called an employee a racial slur. In the video uploaded to TikTok, he reeled off a wild “Black lives don’t matter” screed as he cussed out other people in the store. He was eventually escorted off the premises and charged with aggravated breach of peace and trespassing.

Self-Described ‘Racist’ Arizona Man Tells Black Man ‘This Is A No N*gg*r Zone’

Self-described racist Paul Ng (screen captures)
TMZ reports that an Arizona man, identified as Paul Ng, told a Black man shooting an episode for his podcast on a public street that he was in a “no n*gg*r zone.” Andre Abram was recording an episode for his podcast in Old Town Scottsdale, AZ last Friday with his cameraman, who’s also African-American. As they were recording, they noticed Ng scoping them out. Abram’s camera was rolling when Ng strolled over and asked the two men what they were doing. Ng explained that “we’ve had problems here,” before going on to admit that he is, in fact, a racist. Abram calmly explained that they were not, in fact, in a “no n*ggr zone,” but Ng continued to ask Abram questions about where he’s from and why he’s there. Abram didn’t escalate the situation, but eventually police tracked Ng down at his home where he was cited for disorderly conduct. It turns out Ng was a Realtor with Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty – “was” because the real estate office fired Ng upon learning of his abhorrent behavior. The broker there also recommended Ng’s state license be revoked. And there you have it.

Sheriff’s Racist Rant Results In His Resignation

Former Arkansas County Sheriff Todd Wright (photo: ARSheriffs.org)
Arkansas County Sheriff Todd Wright resigned from his position after a recording of him repeatedly using the n-word began circulating on social media. In the clip, Wright goes on an ugly rant yelling at a woman who had spoken to a Black employee at a Piggly Wiggly grocery store in Dewitt. He was apparently embarrassed she had spoken to someone Black. Here’s the transcript: “Shut up you f**king n***er lover! … Every motherf**ker in this store and you gotta talk to the f**king (inaudible) n***er. Right there in front of me, like y’all f**king best buddies. It is a big f**king deal. People f**king see me and see you talking to f**king n***ers.” Here’s the video which appears to have been captured by a friend of the woman.

The video was initially shared on social media back in May but began circulating again this week. At a special session of the Arkansas County Quorum Court on Friday, August 28, Wright acknowledged that it was him in the recording and offered an apology for any offense his comments caused adding that his remarks were made ‘in the heat of the moment.’ During a rambling statement, he added he was “disturbed my career was in shambles because of something I said.” He also – wait for it – insisted he’s not racist. Initially, Wright refused to resign, but the court (which doesn’t have the power to remove Wright from office) unanimously approved a resolution asking for his resignation. Following comments from the public demanding he step down, Wright offered to leave his position in a month as he wanted time to find another job. But Bobby Webb, a longtime friend of Wright, told the sheriff he needed to resign immediately. “I’ve known you all my life,” said Webb according to the Stuttgart Daily Leader. “You need to take that badge and you need to lay it on that table and you need to walk out of here. You know I love you.” After a brief recess, Wright submitted his official resignation, which the court voted unanimously to accept. Out of ‘compassion,’ the court also unanimously decided to allow Wright to be paid through September 30, although he will not be an active law enforcement officer. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the population of the county Wright has been serving for years is 25 percent Black. After listening to the repeated use of the n-word in this recording (nine times he uses the slur), it’s not hard to imagine what Wright thought of the local Black citizens he encountered in the line of duty. I’m going to close this post by saying I believe the vast, vast majority of law enforcement officers are good people. But people like Wright make their jobs much, much harder. If you ever wonder why football players kneel, and Black Lives Matter protests are happening, this is part of the reason why.

Vermont Woman Rants ‘Black People Get Everything Free’

At a pro-police rally over the weekend in Vermont, a woman became unhinged when confronted by a group of Black Lives Matter counter-protesters at the Montpelier event. “Black lives don’t matter at all to me! White lives matter!” she screamed at the camera. “You’ve had everything, free f*cking everything. Blacks have been coddled for years. Free college, free everything!” “Free everything and it’s still not enough and never will be!” she added. One of the Black Lives Matter protesters asked, “So you’re saying you’re a white supremacist? That’s what I’m hearing.” “Black lives don’t f*cking matter to me,” was the white woman’s reply. So much for the ‘All Lives Matter’ argument. For the record, Black Americans don’t get ‘free college.’ And you might want to ask George Floyd about being ‘coddled.’ Oh, right…we can’t. He’s dead.
