‘White Power, Homeboy!’: White AutoZone Shopper Yells Racial Slurs in Unhinged Racist Tirade at Store and Gets The Treatment He Deserves

A video circulating across the internet shows a man going on an unhinged racist outburst in an automotive parts store.

The roughly 30-second clip shows a white man walking behind the store counter and yelling anti-Hispanic and anti-Black racial slurs at someone who appears to be a staff member. The video is overlaid with text reporting that the incident happened at an AutoZone store in Lafayette, Colorado, on March 14.

“F—k sp—s, homie. F—k n—rs, homie. What’s up, dawg?” the man says while approaching another man behind the counter. “You wanna go, homeboy?!”

He continues his rant by yelling, “White power, homeboy!”

At that moment, two other people intervene to shut down his tirade and order him to leave the premises.

As the man walks away, he continues yelling profanities.

“Where the f—k is my wallet?!” the man yells out loud, prompting one employee to urge the man to leave.

As the irate customer walks toward the exit, he turns around to direct even more racist statements toward the people behind him.

“White power, m—f—r! Yeah, I’m gonna be back! White f—king power, homeboy!” he yells while performing a Nazi salute.

It’s unclear what prompted the tirade or whether any staff members or customers called 911 to report the man.

Similar incidents showing people launch into racist meltdowns in retail environments have also drawn widespread attention online.

Just last week, a white woman was recorded hurling the N-word several times at employees in a McDonald’s while also calling them drug dealers and crackheads.

Another disturbing viral video from last summer shows a New York woman being booted from a grocery store for an insulting tirade aimed at Black people and Muslims.

A Black couple also filmed their encounter with a man outside a grocery store in Buffalo, New York, after he allegedly hit their car. When the couple tried to confront him, he started calling them racial slurs and began yelling, “Kill all n—rs! Kill all sp—s!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
