Ignorance has been raised to a new level by one Rich Kent of Texas.
Kent thought that Reverend Al Sharpton was planning to be in McKinney, Texas, this weekend for a protest to call for the resignation of McKinney police officer Eric Casebolt. When Kent heard this, he immediately took to social media, and in a video he posted on his Facebook page, he declared:
?Y?all messed up; you do not come after a Texan.?This will not be Baltimore. This will not be Ferguson. Do you understand me??
So Rich Kent decided it would be a great idea to raise $1 million to counter this impending visit from Sharpton, but when Casebolt resigned voluntarily, Kent’s plans remained in place. He started a GoFundMe campaign he dubbed a??Counter Sharpton? rally that would ?stop the decay of our country.?
Again, Sharpton WILL NOT be appearing in McKinney. Despite that, by Thursday the funding had reached?$10,155, with $10,000 attributed to an offline donation from an ?Anonymous American.”
Here’s a little more of Kent’s rant which he posted on Facebook:
?We are going to go to your little hotels, your little hiding spots, everywhere I can think of, and we are gonna run you out of Texas. This is not a warning ? this is a promise. We will be there. You will see me. You will leave Texas.?
Uh, excuse me, Mr. Kent, but Al Sharpton will NOT be appearing in McKinney on Saturday, so you’re now free to do whatever ignorant rednecks do with their free time, like making semi-coherent videos and posting them online.
In other videos that Kent later posted, he, like every racist you’ve ever encountered, tried to inoculate himself against the stigma of being called a racist by insisting he isn’t:
“Nowhere did I say I was going to come in and harm your savior, Al Sharpton, OK? Never did I say that. I did say you guys are not coming in here and you’re not going to stample (sic) on Texas property rights. These are Texans ? these ain?t Maryland people, these ain?t people of Baltimore or Ferguson. In Texas we are not going to stand by and let you riot. We are not going to let you destroy our cities.?
He even–wait for it–said he had lots of black friends who can tell you he’s not a racist. And then he finished with this flourish of pure moronic hate:
?I’m sorry if your family didn’t raise you right, didn’t teach you right, and you’ve got to follow a daddy like Sharpton.”
Do us all a favor, Rich Kent, and please don’t procreate and become anyone’s daddy. Lord knows we don’t need any of your DNA being carried forward into another generation.
