A video released this week shows a 7-year-old white boy taunting a black man and his daughter in Chicago’s Lincoln Park.
The man who recorded the video was enjoying a day in the park with his young daughter when they were approached by a boy named Caleb. At the very beginning of the clip, Caleb can be heard teasing the little girl, saying “I know, she’s picking her butt.” The girl’s father then asks him to repeat what he just said to him, before he brought out the camera.
Without flinching, the 7-year-old kid says “You’re a n***er”.
“Wait a second,” the man says, directing the camera at himself, before panning around the park. “We’re at Lincoln Park right now. This is Caleb and he wants to tell me something. What was that?”
In response, Caleb says “You’re a black n***er”
The father remains calm, telling the camera, “I have no idea where his parents are. I don’t even know this little guy. I have never, ever wanted to strike a kid, but he… kinda makes me want to want to.”
