The video begins with the white man cursing and saying “n****” multiple times while waiting to buy beer at the Elyria convenience store. He then says where he lives, two blocks away from the store, and says to the Black man waiting in line behind him with a Twisted Tea can, “I’m not trying to disrespect you bro, I’m not. I’m gonna say ‘n****’ all day, everyday. Are you kidding me? Where you from n****? Where you from? Where you from?”

The Black man stares him down and responds, “Here n****.” The white man responds, “From here? Get the f*** outta here. You a clown n****. On God, you a clown.” The Black man then picks up his can of Twisted Tea and holds it below his waist, as the other man says, “What are you going to smack me with it?” and then puts down his beer, bends over and slaps his own face saying, “Smack me.”

The man drops his can of Twisted Tea while trying to flip and catch it in his hand, and the other man then tries to kick it away. The Black man then swings the can and smashes it right into his face, sending him down to the ground and into a trash can. He then gets up and charges at the man who just hit him, but gets thrown back down to the ground and punched in the head multiple times. As he is being punched, the other man says, “call me a f***** n*****.” He then pulls him up to his feet and walks away, leaving the white man shaking his hands out and saying, “you good” repeatedly.
