RACIST RANT: JASON WOOD RESIGNS AS CEO AFTER CALLING FRESNO BARTENDER RACIAL SLUR

A business traveler spewed an angry, racist rant at a Fresno bartender who cut him off this week and now he's facing consequences.
...
"I'm leaving," Jason Wood said during his angry exchange with the calm bartender. "Don't worry about me. Don't worry about me, Saudi Arabia."

"What did you say?" asked Rebecca Hernandez, the bartender. "What did you say to me? I'm Saudi Arabian?"

"You're f***ing stupid like they are," Wood said.
...

He had repeatedly refused to wear a mask even when he came inside, so when they cut him off she got a little worried and started recording.

"I know you're not smart enough," he said to her. "You're a dark-haired dumbass, sand n***** mother f***** and that's fine."
...
"My words were unacceptable," he texted a reporter. "I am both embarrassed and saddened that I demonstrated this behavior. They were a result of being physically impaired, frustrated, and stupid. They are not representative of my personal beliefs or those of my company."

His company wiped its social media pages clean and isn't answering its phones anymore. On their website the following statement was posted: "Due to recent events, Actionable Insights is announcing the resignation of Mr. Jason Wood as our Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately. This is a direct result of his recent unacceptable actions which are not representative of our core values. During this time of progressive social change, we are committed to ensure our company embodies a spirit of equality and respect for all people. On behalf of Mr. Wood and Actionable Insights, we extend our deepest apologies. It is our hope that we can move forward, and our reputation for integrity and excellence will navigate us through this difficult time."

1. Being drunk lowers inhibitions but it doesn't

make you change your beliefs.

It just makes you more likely to say what you really think because the filters are temporarily out of order.

Him saying this isn't representative of his personal beliefs is simply not true, even if he thinks it is.

[warmfeet]

43. That is entirely correct.

[volstork]

46. What you say is

absolutely true. One of the problems with being drunk is that it makes one myopic in the sense that one cannot see long-term consequences of one's actions. These idiots spew out their innermost thoughts and biases, not realizing they are shooting themselves in the foot by declaring their racism for everyone to hear and see.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

48. PREACH!! As my friend used to say:"A drunk man ain't NOTHING but a SOBER man TALKING."

This dude got CAUGHT, that's the ONLY difference..

[Nay]

50. Thank you. Just because your true assholiness only pops out when you are drunk doesn't mean

you're not an actual asshole.

[Bengus81]

51. What would a drunk Donald Trump be spewing??

[soothsayer]

2. The old world is dying, and the new world struggles to be born: now is the time of monsters.

Basically, change is happening, and it’s super duper uncomfortable for those who define themselves by the old ways.

It’ll be ok in the long run, but we’ll see more of this acting out.

That’s the only way I can explain this rash of nuttiness.

[Polly Hennessey]

7. I agree. The world is changing and

some are struggling with the change. It must be frustrating to be on the wrong side.

[soothsayer]

21. Yeah. When that Florida guy yelled "I feel threatened!"

...I think he was telling the truth.

I’ve tried to explain to my mom why hate crime laws are necessary during times of change. It’s the same reason, really.

[Blue_true]

22. Soros is so busy blowing up the right that it's difficult to keep track of him.

He lives rent free in all their tiny little brains. Must be crowded in there, but somehow Soros makes it work.

[TheBlackAdder]

32. I know, that one billionaire is doing so much more than the scores of billionaires for Trump.

.

Trump must have those lazy old-money billionaires.

.

[Blue_true]

33. Trump's billionaires are busy with their 22 year old newest wives. Soros is focused. nt

[brush]

26. Yes. The racism is thick out there. Racial slurs seem to be on the tip of the tongue...

to so many. They just spew out at the least provocation, so often it's one of the first responses.

[North Shore Chicago]

[malaise]

13. Would love to see his user name on social media

There will be many more racists who expose themselves

[StarfishSaver]

52. No.

He was drunk, that's all.

[dalton99a]

10. "I am embarrassed because there is a video"

[Tipperary]

35. He looks like a drunk.

It always shows in the face.

[dmr]

12. A drunken man's words are a sober man's thoughts nt

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

15. Not representative of his personal beliefs?

Au contraire, asshole.

[Demovictory9]

25. Yep

[WhiskeyGrinder]

16. "They were a result of being physically impaired, frustrated, and stupid."

No, they were a result of being racist. It's not that hard, people!

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Translation

"I'm a racist but I can hide it unless I'm hammered!"
That's what he meant to say!

[rusty fender]

19. My words do not reflect my beliefs

Really

Sound familiar?

[Liberal In Texas]

24. Crap like this went on all the time before cell phone cameras.

Now that it can be posted for the whole world to see and the jerks are getting their comeuppance.

[lpbk2713]

29. Always glad to see thinning of the corporate herd.

Poor guy might have to sell one of his vacation homes just to get by.

Racism comes right out when they have a few drinks.

[lame54]

42. Questionable Insights

[ailsagirl]

44. Good riddance!!

[infullview]

47. Personally have seen my share of this racist bullshit

I am of middle eastern descent, 3rd generation. I know this term "sand n****r" well - the bigotry isn't only for black and Latino, it extends to almost every ethnic group in the US that isn't lily white.

[GulfCoast66]

55. Been 30 year since I read Gibbon's 'Decline and Fall'.

And perhaps it was not there I read it. But anyway I read that during the republic period Roman Senators would not vote for something until they had discussed it drunk. I have no doubt it is a myth.

But it’s true. Being drunk just exposes who you really are.

Dude’s a racist.
