The white continues to goad the black man who prepares to make his move
He enunciates the n-word in a manner similar to how another black man might say it to a friend.
‘And you know what’s crazy; I’ma walk to you. Right to my house for you,’ he says. ‘On God.’
‘I’m not trying to disrespect you.’
‘Then stop saying it,’ the black man warns him.

‘I’ma say n**** all day, every day. Are you kidding me? Where you from, n****?’

Finally, after 45 seconds the black man finally snaps and with his large can of alcoholic iced tea, slams it into the white man’s face, knocking him to the ground.
The struggle then continues as the tea-carrying customer wrestles his instigator to the floor while continuing to pummel his face, punching him in the head five times and daring the man to use the n-word on him again.
