A Florida man was caught hurling the n-word at a Popeyes worker and threatening to lynch her in a resurfaced viral video.
The man, identified by social media users as Colton Norsworthy, launched a racist attack against the employee after a food dispute.
Video shows Norsworthy calling the worker the n-word at least seven times after he accused her of calling him "cracker."
“I called her a n—er after she called me cracker,” Norsworthy admitted to a store manager who tried to intervene in the situation.
Norsworthy threatened to call the police on the employee, but later hung up the phone and said, “All you n—– think this is f—ing acceptable. You f—ing n——.”
“He can’t call me that. He’s a cracker. F— him," the employee responded.
The encounter escalated as the two continued to argue back and forth.
“When I catch your n—– a– outside, I promise you, I promise you, Imma beat your f—ing n—– a–,” Norsworthy said. “Imma hang you from a f—ing tree, b—-!”
“Your parents raised you like a f—ing n——,” he added, as the employee continued to call him a cracker.
The exchange ended with the man claiming he was "better than" the employee because of his race.
“I’m white. That means I’m automatically better than you, b——," Norsworthy said.
The video was originally shared in 2022 but resurfaced online earlier this week.
Norsworthy's violent past also surfaced as the video went viral. In 2014, Norsworthy was charged for felony domestic battery by strangulation, obstructing justice, and tampering with a felony proceeding, according to reports.
Popeyes previously addressed the incident, saying the company has a zero-tolerance policy for "hateful aggression."
