Who is William Boucher – the belligerent racist Starbucks customer in Chicago?

Who is Alexander Jennes Downing – the racist that yelled at a Muslim family at the beach?

You really need to watch this video. Anything you read before watching the video won’t have the same feeling and power than the the actual sights and sounds of a Trumpmerican on vacay in the South Padre islands.

It’s not that Rachel Dolezal can’t be Black, it’s that she’s been willfully deceptive
