Known as "The Legendary Black Redneck," Joel Patrick is a young black conservative influencer heralded by the right after criticizing the Black Lives Matter movement in a viral video. But after making a video criticizing the capital insurrectionists, he was suddenly ostracized by thousands in his online community and even lost close friends. With only his infamous bright-orange lifted truck in tow, he now heads down to Florida from his hometown of Dayton, OH to attend conservative conferences and confront his former allies.

He had to put up with a lot on the bull riding circuit. A lot of racism. He could care less and proved himself as an all around cowboy any rancher would be proud to have employed. His dad was a cowboy and further back was a descendant of a Buffalo Soldier. He had it in his blood. Everybody at the party after the rodeo fell in love with this man and even put him up for a few nights and got him down the road when he had to go. I never saw him again. His skin color didn't matter to any of us. Of course we were curious over watching a black man ride bulls and even helped save another bull rider who was hung up by his rope on the bull he was riding. So blessed to have had the pleasure to get to meet this man. ....وسعت24

@benskala8544منذ 3 سنواتAs a child I had my cartoons interrupted by some of the first live coverage of race riots then violent war demonstrations with water cannons and police id="hidden36" class="buttons"> in riot gear. When Dad brought home a cue stick my initial excitement died when I saw him cut it off to make a club to put in the trunk in case it was needed since his office was "downtown." The black kids I ran into always seemed angry or edgy. Then I joined the Army, the most racially integrated occupation around at the time where I lived with, worked with and socially interacted with people of all races. That's where I learned the truth which is that people are people regardless of race. I met very good people of all races and very bad people. The good people by far outnumbered the bad. My conclusion is that the way you cure racism and bigotry is One Person at a Time. That has a multiplying effect to where we are today where the very bad people are very much in the minority. ....وسعت6
