Man Arrested After Black Youtuber Recorded Him Saying Racial Slurs
PHOENIX — An Arizona man was arrested on Saturday after a viral video posted on social media showed him telling a Black man that he was in a “no (N-word) zone.”
Andre Abram, who goes by LILAJDRE on Instagram and YouTube, was preparing to record a video in Old Town Scottsdale when a man, later identified as Paul Ng, took photos of him and approached him to ask what he was doing in the area.
Abram began recording, and Ng said, “I’m a racist,” and that Abram shouldn’t be in the area “because this is a no (N-word) zone.”
The video has garnered over 182,000 views on Instagram as of Monday evening and been shared by prominent activist Shaun King.
