White Man Goes On Racist Rant After Neighbors Play Latin Music On The Fourth Of July

White Man Goes On Racist Rant After Neighbors Play Latin Music On The Fourth Of July

Ah, Independence Day! The perfect holiday to showcase the most vile, bigoted aspects of American nationalism. On July 4th, a white man in Petaluma, California, let loose on a racist tirade against his neighbors because they were playing Latin music to celebrate the holiday.



The man can be heard shouting at the gathered family:

you want to do that on the Fourth of July … throw it in my face?




He was referencing the Latin music playing from Ivette Celedon's backyard. Celedon recounted the situation to CBS:

My father-in-law has a speaker out back and it wasn't that loud, especially not over their loud music that they have a July 4th party every year. And we have never complained about them.





Celedon posted the entire infuriating incident to Facebook with the caption:

So in a family backyard bbq we're not allowed to have Spanish music because it's disrespectful to the country????? Land of the free right? Celebrating independence!!! We are celebrating Independence Day just like everyone else! #neverhadaproblemuntil2018




The unnamed neighbor has now apologized, though his statement to CNN leaves a little to be desired:

Sometimes I wish they would assimilate more. I hear them playing [Spanish language] music in the backyard all the time and it doesn't bother me. Because of the day and what July 4th means to me, I felt disrespected.

Sarah Jessica Parker Claps Back At Conservative Critics Who Want Her To 'Shut Up' About Politics And 'Act'

Nothing seems to get conservatives' goats quite like celebrities having political opinions—well, liberal and leftist celebrities, anyway.

They seem to love it when weird right-wing celebs like Kevin Sorbo get on the internet and say bizarre, usually counterfactual nonsense, or when JK Rowling does her darnedest to make her legacy not about Harry Potter but about her weird obsession with trans people.

Far-right provocateur Ann Coulter is facing fierce criticism after she made a genocidal remark in a now-deleted post on X in response to University of Minnesota professor and Navajo Nation member Melanie Yazzie's speech about colonization.

Yazzie, in a speech at last year's annual Socialism Conference, said "decolonization is the only thing that is going to save us as a species" during a panel hosted by Red Nation, a Native American nonprofit that advocates for Palestinian and Native American rights. She also said that the United States is the "greatest predator empire that has ever existed" and said it should be dismantled.
