Beverly Hillbilly type drove past a football team member's family garage sale and called them n-words and n-word lovers.
He was slow-rolling by so one of the player's (white) friends, the team captain as it happens, reached through the window and came pretty close to yanking him out of it before he managed to get away.
It's a fairly conservative county but also very rich and they like to keep the ugliness (and the history of redlining) on the DL so he got expelled and some of the football team broke his arm later. Tragically, despite him naming names, they all had alibis and parents who could afford lawyers.
Also tragically, his parents could afford to send him to a very nice military school that probably looked better on his college application anyways. However, he was dumb as shit regardless, so they might have just sighed and accepted he'll have to be the boss's idiot son for a career.
Fairly interesting expression of socio-economic conflict and human tribalism all around, honestly. Some of the guys who broke Beverly Hillbilly's arm have said some pretty racist shit on Facebook since then even if they weren't so crude, but their teammate was in the tribe so to speak and therefore someone outside of it, and a social outcast to boot, had to punished for attacking him.
Was it the hillbilly who was expelled or the guy who broke his arm?
