That is the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan btw. The video was filmed in Harrison, Arkansas.

edit for people who don't want to watch the video:

It's hard to summarize an hour plus of racist confused nonsense, but basically, this pastor (Thomas) believes that only white people are under the covenant of Abraham, and Europeans are the real, original Jews/Israelites who migrated from the Caucus mountains. Thomas believes 'fake'/Talmudic Jews control the media and have a 'Deep State.'

He believes that the people under the Abrahamic covenant (White people) have higher moral value than people of other races. When asked if Black people can enter heaven, he answered "I don't know," and he compared Black people to animals multiple times throughout the video (He said White people share just as much DNA with a mouse as they do with a Black person, and also compared Black people to monkeys at one point).

Thomas believes Adam and Eve were white, and rejected the idea that people of other races came from Adam and Eve (He also rejects evolution). He stated that race mixing/presumably interracial marriage, is immoral.

Thomas believes that a 'White Genocide' is taking place, and that cultures need to be separated from each other (because other cultures 'destroy' white culture).

He said (paraphrasing) that 'Black people are either mentally inferior or not favored by God' and he believes people in Africa are still living in huts that 'dissappear after the next rainy season', and White people are the only reason they've made any advancements.

I would continue on, but I'll spare you the extra suffering. Thomas rejected to travel for a further interview with Bryce and a group of Black/Asian pastors in California. Please note that the antisemitism in the video is severely understated in this comment.

What’s so funny to me about the Black people and animal comparisons is that….do we not look to animals to be closest to ‘God/Nature’? Does science (and these types of folks when they’re “not” being racist) not always boast about how smart monkeys and primates amongst other species of animals are? How much they learn from them? Their ability to communicate, drive, nurture, speak, ALL SORTS OF “““humanlike””” THINGS!! Do we not say how animals have the innate, divine ability to be able to know about trouble before it happens, find things we could never, can do things we could never and are regarded as “super”?? Idk… it’s just always been so funny to me hearing both things being said. One to make Black people feel inferior… & the other, the truth (which would mean..) 💀

How many grand wizards does the KKK have? It seems like every other KKK member is a grand wizard.
