Nicholas Wilkerson was hoping to enjoy a peaceful meal out, but got far more than the "Crab Louie Louie" and Cadillac he ordered.
In a video Wilkerson recorded and then published to his YouTube page, Wilkerson found himself seated at the bar with an unidentified White woman who claimed Black men need to "put these Black chicks in their place."
You can see the video here:
Wilkerson first tried to gain some clarity on this surprising declaration, asking her if she means Black women are messing with her mother, supposedly referencing something she said before Wilkerson started recording.
But his astonishment only grew when the woman corrects him and says "the country."
Wilkerson then calmly asked the woman to wait as he orders his food, the off-screen bartender telling him she'll make his Cadillac "extra strong."
Wilkerson then kindly asked the woman to proceed with what she was saying.
She certainly had a lot to say.
"The Black male needs to wrestle the Black female and tell her—put her in her place"
"Because if you don't, she is gonna just … she's just gonna, I don't know. She's just gonna … you know … mess it all up."
When Wilkerson asked why Black women are going to "mess it all up," the woman seemed unable to answer, before citing the color of their skin as the reason.
Somehow managing to keep his composure hearing this woman's racist and non-sensical argument, Wilkerson finally corrected her.
"We got strong Black women in this world. Yes indeed. And the Black women in this country, in this world, is not the problem."
Amazingly, the woman seemed to go back on her words and nodded in agreement with what Wilkerson was saying.
And when he went on to remind her when she is talking about Black women, she is also talking about his mother, sister and girlfriend, the woman slurs out a "no, no, no," followed quickly by a "yes, yes, yes."
When Wilkerson then brought the conversation back to the fact this seems to be an issue with her mother, and offering his sympathies, the woman makes what is possibly her most shocking remark in the video.
"Let me just tell you about my mom, that b*tch is 97 years old and she don't know how to quit."
Finally putting Wilkerson at a loss for words, the possibly inebriated woman once more drove home her original point—Black women need to be "reigned in"—until the waitress informs Wilkerson a party of women have invited him to join them.
Wilkerson wishes the woman a good day, before laughing into the camera as he ends the video.
Viewers of Wilkerson's video expressed their admiration for how he handled the situation with such class.

Others were quick to condemn the words of the unidentified woman, with many quick to point out her likely inebriated condition.

It's also not hard to imagine that his mother, sister and girlfriend whom he mentioned earlier must be more proud of how Wilkerson handled this unfortunate and bizarre situation.
