Footage recently went viral of a man screaming racial obscenities at Asian Trump supporters during a political rally in New York, which showed a Biden supporter screaming “Fu*k you! You fu*king ch*nks! You dumbass ch*nks! Shut the f*ck up you damn scribble racist pieces of sh*t!”
Trump supporters can be seen marching and holding a large “Thin Blue Line” garrison size flag, while Biden supporters are lined on the streets screaming insults and racial obscenities at the Trump and law enforcement supporters.
The Biden supporter has been identified as Nicholas James (@bckpffngscht) and he issued an unapologetic statement through his Instagram account.
“What I said yesterday was undeniably vitriolic and hateful. It wasn’t constructive in any way. I know this, and I won’t apologize for it.
Yesterday wasn’t about being constructive. Yesterday wasn’t about teaching people, or trying to get them on my side. Yesterday was about rage, rage fueled by a group of minorities advocating for a violent fascist regime, rage fueled by people who look like me upholding white supremacy and anti-blackness, rage fueled by the knowledge that those people are unknowledgeable of the hate that their own people have endured throughout a white supremacist history.
I’m not going to hide behind the excuse that anger justified my words, they don’t, because I chose those words purposefully. I chose to use a slur that was used against me my whole life. I chose to use language that would strike a nerve. If any of my fellow Asian-American comrades have something to say about what I did, I’m willing to listen to you, I’m willing to talk about how it made you feel, and how you feel it affects our community.
I said what I needed to say, I don’t feel the need to say it again, and I’m willing to make an effort to combat any negativity my words have caused for our movement.”
