http://www.rawstory.com/2017/08/not-racist-trump-supporter-fired-from-job-after-sending-comedian-unhinged-rant-about-warefafe-loving-nggers/Owen told local news outlet Fox 4 Now that the drunk white man started heckling him and loudly shouting racial slurs.
And at one point I was doing a Trump joke, and he said Yeah, theres more of us than there is of them. And he kept talking, so I kicked him out of my show, Owen said in an Instagram video. This is what he sent me on Facebook.
Owen then showed three racist messages from Lanham, the first of which read: Your at a n*gga living piece of shit and we are paying for you warefafe loving n*ggers [sic].
...
According to NBC 2, Lanham was fired from his job as Vice President of Sales for National Roofing of Collier. His wife was also fired from the same company.
...
Lanham told NBC 2 that hes not a racist. He blamed his racist behavior on alcohol.

(7,911 posts)I got drunk once, (o.k., twice) when I was young and stupid, and sat around telling really stupid jokes and puns and laughing my fool head off. (I'm normally quite proper, introverted, and reserved, so my friends thought it was a hoot to see me cut loose like that.)
So, no, I do NOT believe that alcohol will turn a person into a racist unless they are already a racists at heart. I believe that alcohol brings down the barriers between what you pretend to be in public and who you really want to be. I really wanted to be a clown. He really wants to be a racist. Sober, he can keep it hidden.

(12,158 posts)was not a good excuse. It lowers your inhibitions to reveal what is hidden. He added that you were in your "right" mind before drinking so your actions from getting blotto are all your own.
