Ohio Black man smacks White shopper with Twisted Tea can for hurling racist slurs during gas station brawl

The video of the incident has been going viral across social media and begins with the White man insulting and hurling abuses at the Black man

A White man was caught on camera getting smacked in the face with a can of Twisted Tea after she hurled racial slurs at a Black customer. The racist man was heard calling the fellow customer the N-word several times while at an Ohio gas station in a shocking moment that was captured on camera. 

The video of the incident has been going viral across social media and begins with the White man insulting and hurling abuses at the Black man. He then threatens to perform a sexual act on his mother, all of which can be heard in the video. The man then screams the N-word at the Black man at least seven times. The clip goes on around 45 seconds and shows the racist customer spewing insults at the Black man who is seen holding a can of the Twisted Tea branded alcoholic iced tea. 

The Black man manages to keep his calm throughout the insult before he retaliates by smacking the racist man in the face with the tea can. A fight breaks out and continues to the floor where the Black man pins the White man down and punches him in the head and sarcastically asks him to repeat the word again. 

He then gets up and says "I asked you not to call me a [n-word]" as he walks away. The person taking the video can be heard saying, "I don't blame you dude" as the Black man walks past. As per the Chronicle-Telegram, the incident occurred at the Circle K gas station in Elyria in Ohio. The local police shared that the incident was not reported. 

The video has been going viral across social media platforms such as Twitter with many users supporting the Black man and praising him for standing up for himself. 

One such user shared, "I could watch this all day!! I called my Mom the N word when I was a little kid, heard it somewhere not have a clue what it meant (Mom is white) she smacked me like this dude just got smaked. It works! I still flinch if I hear the word Proven method to eradicate the N word." Another wrote, "That can smack was the most satisfying thing I've seen in awhile. And seriously white people, from a fellow white, if you wanna say it so bad, don't lecture black people on if they can use it. Just walk up to a black person and start dropping it. Let me know how it turns out lmao." "I ain't gonna pretend like an internet tough guy. The fact that n-word gets used this much and all that white dude got was can to the face is disgusting enough. I don't mean he deserves 2 cans (although it wouldn't hurt) but his livelihood should be kicked in the nuts," commented another. 

Another user added, "I’m not sure he’s racist as much as a fucking idiot. This can’t be the first time a black dude beat his ass, there is no way that is possible." Yet another chimed in, "He act tough, but man I love it when people get put in their place. I don't care what colour or gender you are, you got no right to call people the N word."
