Enraged white driver screams ‘run monkey’ at black woman – but insists he’s not racist after video goes viral

A man in Pennsylvania was caught on video screaming a racial slur at a black woman in a road-rage incident. But the 52-year-old commercial truck driver insists he’s not racist.

A cell phone video shows John Paul Rodgers yelling “Go to Africa. Hurry up, go to Africa! Run n**ger run, monkey, monkey, monkey” at 20-year-old Zhaqweyza Armstrong as he drives past her car.

“I am not racial,” Rodgers told Daily Local News. “I have a mixed-race grandchild. Bi-racial grandkids. I wouldn’t normally say that word. I am not a racial person. I don’t see color. I see ignorance.”

He claimed that Armstrong was driving erratically and had cut him off. Rodgers also claimed that she threw food wrappers and cups out of her car while she was in front of him.

1. "i'm not a racist; I'm a bigot!"

so, so ignorant...

[BumRushDaShow]

2. (I think you posted an accidental dupe of your LBN post) But wow. Even his daughter disowned him.

And as a note, Coatesville is not far outside of Philly in Chester County.

3. I just got back and saw this. Thank you for taking the time. I didn't take enough time!

I wondered where this place is. Good to find out. Thanks.

Stay away from this cretin, for sure.

4. Hope he gets fired and at least fined.

Although I'd be fine with "lock him up"!

[maxrandb]

5. Obviousy, it's the "economic anxiety" that's gotten to him

Maybe the media can give us another round-table of white Donnie Short Fingers voters from Dumbfuckistan, 'Murika so they can tell us how we "have to reach-out and understand" them.

6. if erratic driving and littering makes you shout the N word at people

you sir, are an ignorant bigot.

I'd still like to know why state police haven't gone after him for driving without a seatbelt (since they lack the integrity to charge him with a hate crime). He isn't wearing one in the video and the road fell under their jurisdiction. Given that this *man drives for a living*, this kinda behavior is a threat to the public and he has no business having a license.

7. His daughter's tweet speaks volumes on this character.

Acts like a freedumb-loving Rambo wanna be.

8. rawstory is not a news source nt

11. It's primarily an aggregator. But, if you went there, you'd see the video was broadcast on FOX 29.

9. And he's not wearing a seat belt... POS!

[orleans]

14. thanks for my first (and possibly only) chuckle of the day

(it's five minutes after midnight)

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. "I am not racial,"......... and apparently not literate either. nt

[Downtown Hound]

12. Funny how not a single one of them is ever racist after they go viral. n/t

[lunasun]

13. Wow outed by his own estranged daughter . I don't like people who litter but I think he doesn't

like blacks more than littering and looking for an excuse to go off...which he most certainly did
Wonder if the daughter is the mother of the biracial grandchild he mentioned

Also sounds like a creepy area according to some local comments like below

Replying to @Lynn_TG @rolandsmartin and 8 others
I was born in Coatesville and he was one of the nicer ones. They have a lot of homeschooling and passing ignorance from generation to generation. The State does little to whites but will take a black child and place them outside the home over smoking marijuana.
