“I’m Going to Get Racial, Here”

This is nothing more than a drunk man trying to talk about an explosion in a house next door.  But the really strange part is when he announces he is “going to get racial here.”  And then he talks about something that has no obvious connection to any racial issue—filling an oil tank with kerosene.  So either 1) he thinks that that kind of behavior is uniquely associated with a person’s ethnicity, or he planned to say something more clearly racist and either 2) thought better of it, or 3) just plain forgot. Either way, its kind of uncomfortable to watch, but mostly pretty funny.

And bear in mind, even the Blaze, where I got this video from, can’t even figure out the ethnicity of the neighbors.

Anyway, a little frivolity on a Saturday afternoon.

And consider this a PSA: friends don’t let friends do TV interviews when drunk.

  5. The guy also has one or more other medical issues too (from the comments and, I would guess, from his behavior)… I am not sure I would want to plug this video at his expense.

  7. Someone implied the Chris Farley dude is in Schuylkill County, Pa. I could tell you likely ethnicity of area if knew the town. Maybe he meant he was going to hook up with “Rachel”. Kerosene explosion? Anthracite coal used to be king there. But of course all that coal is now verboten by Obama. Soon we will have all that green windmill power Jajajaja.

  8. The expression “I’m about to get racial” or “no need to get racial” is something my college friends and social circle occasionally used in a joking way in regards to saying something controversial (but having nothing to do with race), i.e. “Dodgers opening day is overrated” “I like Jay Leno.”

    That said, I don’t think it was used in that context in this video; there was nothing joking about this guy. Wow. And, I might get a little racial here, but that video should be a wakeup call to him to change his Russian ways.

  9. Maybe he was having a migraine?

  10. That dude is not drunk. He’s obviously one of our super smart tolerant liberal overlords and the awesomeness of his thoughts overpower the ability of his mouth to keep up. You see the same thing in videos taken at some of these protests going on around the country right now. You see people who seem to have lived under rocks for years and have no conception of how the real world functions expounding like hallucinating bums on street corners. This is just another example.

  11. He never cussed. The couple of “damn”s down at the end, those don’t really count.

    If I’m as drunk as he appears, there’s no way I have the presence of mind not to cuss while talking to those reporters.

    Well done drunk guy!
