Like a lot of people, few days ago I started seeing a video titled “I am a redneck and I love America” popping up on my Facebook feed. In it, a self-identified former racist calling himself Dixon White sits in a pickup truck and talks about the evils of racism and white supremacy. When I watched the video I fell hard for the dude. The cognitive dissonance of an overweight (sorry Dixon) good ol’ boy in a F-150 decrying the evils a society built on white supremacy in a thick southern drawl makes for compelling viewing, and, as of this writing, almost 1,000,000 youtube viewer agree with me. Not everyone was so enamored. People quickly discovered his real name and background and went after him hammer and tongs. I was curious so I tracked him down and gave him a call. I will be posting an interview with Dixon soon, but I for now, here he is:

Wow! For the first time, I heard an honest white person admit there is imbedded racism in the fabric of this nation! It makes me wonder why other Caucasoids cannot see it? In my mind, God has awakened this man for the betterment of us all. God bless you, sir!
