He certainly can't be racist -- he fathered a black child

7. In vino veritas...

Alcohol is an intoxicant, CNS depressant and one of the primary effects is disinhibition, meaning that the judgement center of your brain, the prefrontal cortex is impaired. This accounts for people who are intoxicated way over estimating their abilities to drive, dance, sing, etc... It is also the area of the brain that most of the time, prevents us from acting like idiots in social situations. Like when a little kid is standing next to mom or dad at the grocery store and says, "Mommy, why is that person so fat?" or something else that makes the parent cringe with embarrassment. That is the pre-frontal cortex (which is the last part of the brain to develop, and the first part to start to deteriorate in the normal aging process). We as adults may think, if only for a split second, "why is that person so overweight?" but we do not say it out loud because we have the learning and judgment to know, 1. None of my business. 2. It is hurtful and judgmental to say (and think) that. 3. It can start a fight. etc...

This guy is drunk, his pre-frontal cortex is not functioning in the way it typically does. He is frustrated at not getting more alcohol so he is responding in the way that is in his head, in the words that float around in his brain, but that he typically has the judgment not to express publicly.

I think that it is good to see these moments captured. I hope that this guy realizes he needs help, both with substance abuse, and to challenge the racism inside him.
