Remember That Racist Heating And Cooling Guy Who Followed A Guy Home, Calling Him The N-Word? His Business Isn't Doing So Well, But The Yelp Reviews Are Terrific

NY Post- A contractor in Ohio who followed a black man home and called him the N-word repeatedly tried to write it all off as an “awful mistake” — saying the racist rant drove him out of business and ruined his life.

Jeffrey Whitman, who owns Uriah’s Heating and Cooling in Powell, was driving his company van last Tuesday in Columbus when he accused another driver of cutting him off and followed the driver, Charles Lovett, for nearly two miles to his home — where the contractor launched into the racist tirade.

Whitman said he now wanted to make amends for the hateful remarks, but stopped short of apologizing directly to Lovett, the Columbus Dispatch reported.

“It was an awful mistake and obviously I don’t know how to explain it, and it’s ruined my life and it’s ruined my family’s life,” Whitman said…

“I’m out of business, I’m completely out, I’m done, I’ll never work in Columbus again,” the voicemail continued. “This has completely and thoroughly ruined my life.”

“I just don’t understand the intensity of the hate,” said Whitman, adding that the incident has led to harassment of his 85-year-old mother and his 25-year-old daughter.

“I just don’t understand the intensity of the hate,” says Whitman, who has been trying to insert an E in the middle of his last name for 20 years. “I just don’t understand the intensity of the hate,” echoed the internet when watching this video, before taking to Yelp to eviscerate this fucking moron, perfectly illustrating Newton’s third law.

To all you racists out there: if you have plans to tell a black person how much of an n-word they are, don’t do it in a truck with your company name on it. Make it a little harder man. People wonder why athletes forget to delete tweets from like twenty years ago. Meanwhile, in Ohio, you have a guy who can’t understand why his business is suffering when he turned his work car into a klan van. Hate hate hate hate hate!

It’s always amazing to see these old-fashioned racists. By that I mean that this guy’s racism was born in an era when you didn’t have to worry about your stupid face ending up all over the internet; where the hate in your heart wouldn’t necessarily destroy your life. He’s so out to lunch that he didn’t stop his tirade when that guy was so clearly filming him with his phone. How on EARTH do you double, triple, sextuple down in the face of iPhone that will shortly send your face and your company name across the interwebs? In terms of self-sabotage, it’s definitely effective.

That first review is the best. Two stars due to punctuality and focus. As always, the internet remains undefeated.
