A Maryland man kept his cool and documented an incident in which a white driver hurled abuse at him, including calling him the n-word, reports the Atlanta Black Star.

35-year-old Crispin Cole was driving home from an interview when a white driver behind him started impatiently honking his horn.

“The car behind me, this gentleman, he got upset and he wanted me to move forward and started honking his horn. And I didn’t move, because it’s a red light. There’s no need to move,” Cole told WUSA9.

Cole remained calm in order to record the incident. The video went viral on Twitter.

I've often said the best way to a solution between two sides is to debate. But no arguments. Debate is a good thing anger is not. Well anger directed at specifics people. The above reminds me what inspired me to say the former. A black man at a white power rally hugs a white guy and says why you hate me bro. And the white protester chokes up and said I don't know. One lemming woken up. That incident still gets me<--- choked up , if only we had more ways to pull that off. Like Guns in Church as if that hate is going to do much. a majority of Churches have love beating hate all the time. So there is a few who doubt and use a gun for protection and not God and Jesus and Allah and Muhammad and which ever you use. If you are a true believer, yeah you're gonna fight .... to save others..!!! Not aim to kill.

course then again Dash Cam!! I had one till dad totaled mine. Trying to get another. Which is ironic several ways on another post. Dads pro trump anti Mexico but we can't get an American made car (look up his favourite car Hyundai Sonata's. Made in America since 2005 if sold here. o_O And when I get that Nissan if I can , that Dash cam is going right on it. I might even get a better one after that and stuff one in the rear. Now just don't go hating on the hater. Prove him wrong. The idea here is with politics is to prove me wrong. Nobody did that in 2016 and so things went off the rail... And don't threaten people in PM's. It's not very nice. Like the above it will have the opposite effect.

Not only would the guy have been a lot less likely to do that to me, but if he did, I would feel entitled to shoot him dead, and tell the cops "Yeah, I felt threatened" and *know for a fact* it would 100% work and I would not get arrested.

pisses them off more than returning anger.

Very hard to do, but it works.
