At a heated city council meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, social commentator Charleston White was kicked out after giving a controversial speech that quickly sparked backlash.
White, known for his outspoken and often polarizing views, made headlines when he warned council members about Black people “invading” mostly white neighborhoods and spreading sexually transmitted diseases. His comments set off a firestorm.
It all started when White took the podium to speak. As he shared his views, a female council member interrupted him, saying he would be asked to leave if he kept using offensive language. But White didn’t back down. He started talking about how Black people have faced injustice and inequality in the country, linking his frustration to a history of racial discrimination.
He said, “This country once sold my ancestors, so civility is something Black people don’t typically experience here. But I do understand the Constitution, so I come in with uncivil behavior.” He also compared the council members to the Pharaohs from the Bible, saying they lacked empathy for the people they were supposed to serve.
Things took a sharp turn when White shifted his focus to race. He made alarming comments, saying, “Some Black people are coming to your neighborhoods, and they’ve got diseases.” He even mentioned several sexually transmitted diseases by name. The council members quickly moved to remove him from the meeting.
The incident has stirred up conversations about race, health, and community issues in America. The clip of White’s speech has gone viral, with people reacting in different ways—some agree with his message about the struggles Black Americans face, while others find his language offensive and out of place in a public setting.
This confrontation highlights the ongoing challenge of talking about race and social issues without creating more division. It also raises questions about how public officials should handle such sensitive topics in their communities.
