In what could sadly be mistaken for a Donald Trumpcampaign ad, the clip above is a documented example of what happens when a deplorable racist is splashed by a bit of water while at Oak Street Beach in Chicago. Most tragically, the woman attempts a rambling justification of her usage of "n*****" by way of the Constitution. I suppose the general mindset of someone like this is — be racist now, ask questions later, then attempt to retroactively (and unsuccessfully) adjust the Constitution to support the behavior.

Raquel Bolton tells CBS Chicago she was at the beach with her children — four and eight years old, respectively — when the young beachgoers accidentally splashed water on the woman. "This woman’s yelling at them because she splashed water," says Bolton, who immediately started filming the incident — a fact which clearly doesn't deter the woman from initiating and disgustingly finishing her racist tirade.

According to Bolton, the unsettling episode prompted a discussion with her children regarding the unfortunate realities still facing race relations in the United States. Bolton adds that she felt inspired to "videotape the ignorance" and share it, a move which has currently garnered nearly 150,000 views and a very much still-in-progress discourse in the comments.
