“Epic Beard Man”: American Folk Hero?

Thomas Bruso, a Vietnam veteran now known on the internet as Epic Beard Man, has become an overnight folk hero to hundreds of thousands of White Americans who are tired of being perpetual victims of violent hate crimes in their own land.

One of the most popular videos on the internet right now — theinitial Youtube clip now has 654,889 views, literally overnight, andit’s climbing fast — features a conflict between a negro thug and his67-year-old would-be victim, a White man (not simply a male, like somany capons) by the name of Thomas Bruso, which took place on a BayArea bus in broad daylight.

After a misunderstanding arising from the young negro’s insistenceon mumbling pidgin and perpetuated by his aggressiveness, he threatensthe elderly white man several times with violence. The White maninquires why the negro insists on being so hostile, then states clearlythat there is some sort of misunderstanding, and relocates to the frontof the bus. He makes every effort to avoid violence short of jumpingoff the moving bus or grovelling for mercy, which would only haveencouraged his cowardly attacker. The negro male responds by walking tothe front of the bus and taking a swing at the White gentleman, whichdoes not turn out as he expected.

A young negress seated next to both parties, who was filming theincident, urges on her co-ethnic with chants such as, “beat his Whiteass” and taunts the elderly White man by screaming things like, “say itagain, Pinky!” When the 67-year-old White fellow not only defendshimself, but does so effectively, she launches into feigned expressionsof horror and urges her fellow negro to press charges against thesenior citizen. Bleeding profusely, the thwarted thug continues tomouth threats through his busted lip while calling for the “ambulance,”which has turned into the popular facebook/youtube meme “amber lamps”due to his ebonic inflection. She finishes up her video by stealing theold guy’s fanny pack, which he had inadvertently left on the bus in thewake of the struggle.

Thomas Bruso, a Vietnam veteran now known on the internet as Epic Beard Man, has become an overnight folk hero to hundreds of thousands of White Americans who are tired of being perpetual victims of violent hate crimes in their own land. It is my sincere hope that this number continues to grow until his deeds are cemented in the memoryof millions of Americans, who may begin asking some uncomfortablequestions that the regime simply cannot answer. Jared Taylor uses theterm “racial realism” for a very good reason: the facts of the mattertruly are indisputable and self-evident to every realistic man on thestreet who is willing to be honest with himself.
