Hurricane Milton Survivor Lt. Dan’s Internet Fame Torpedoed After Dropping N-Word

He’s garbage.

They should have left him in the ocean.

People looked at that guy and didn't think he'd be casually racist?

I'm glad they didn't hide it anymore.

Are all Floridians disgusting ignorant examples of humanity?

He’s a cripple!

Who is he ?

He seems kindof dumb---riding out the storm on his boat, in the water.

Milkshake duck, right on schedule.

Right this man is 54 yrs old. That’s why whenever we black people side eye some new redneck sensation the powers that be have decided to make a thing, this is why. These people have a history of being complete trash when the cameras aren’t rolling. Except now we are in the social media age and the cameras are always rolling.

As if you couldn’t tell he was a dirtbag from looking at him? Was there anything about this guy that screamed out class or dignity?

I hope he dies.

Oh wow a textbook 🥛 🍨 🦆

Don’t filth my look!

He used the n word just like Blacks do. Not as an insult. Not in anger.

The idea that white people aren’t “allowed” to use the word on pain of total cancellation is just childish.

r11, r10, right. floridian living on a boat who wouldn't get out of the storm? yeah, he screams ignorant pig-fucker even without opening his mouth.

there is a reason "florida man" is a meme

He’s clearly a crackhead or cokehead.

R15 EXACTLY!

Completely emblematic of Tampa.

R15 There are white people who say the word all of the time either in racist context or black lingo content.

Nothing ever stops white people.

Stop victimizing them.

Can we just turn off the internet already? Especially TikTok and Twitter. People are so fucking stupid.

R15 I’m wondering how childish you would think had he said faggot in the same context. Because the same outcome would have happened.

He's basically living in a van down IN the river! Of course he's gonna ride it out. His poor choices in life left him to live in little boat in the sea. EDUCATE YOURSELVES, YOUNG PEOPLE!

Nobody uses “faggot” today as a synonym for “bro” or “man.” The n word is all over popular culture and is used regularly by Black people. If a white person lives on the streets and has spent time in prison it is likely that he heard the word all the time in this context. So cut him some slack. I’m not advocating for white people in general to appropriate the word or to use it as Black people do, but this kind of ironclad “gotcha!” crap that suggests this guy us a racist for using the word is CHILDISH.

R17 John Hawkes should play him in the tv movie

R15 just because SOME black folks use the word doesn’t give white folks the right to use it. The black people who use the word are also wrong. So stop it.

WOW - you just love pushing Sunny Hostin's buttons, don'tcha ? You just like to fire her up, huh ?

White folks crying oppression because we disapprove of them using the N word 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄

R27 whatever, it’s beyond that argument to me. This man is 54 years old which mean he was born in the 60s. He did not grow up using that word in public or amongst friends. These lil gen Zers grew up with hip hop and use that word like young black people do with each other and their basic ass black friends don’t correct them. He only used that word disparagingly, is my point. Hell, even if he was born in 1970. This mafucker is from North Florida. Fuck he think he playing with, using the N word casually like that. Get your snaggled tooth ass on, you big dummy. He coulda parlayed his 15 mins to Z list celebrity status.

If Dump wins, Lt. Dan will be the next Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Lt. Dan has no legs!

In the 60s ? Maybe very late 1969, most likely 1970. We're talking mid-October, with only 10 weeks left in the year.

R34 I know. As I was ranting on I realized early 50s means 70s born nowadays. My god, the passage of time.

I can’t mafuckin’ count, beeeyotch!

I beez blatino! 🌮

So the wild-eyed amputee who lives on a boat and hates/fears the police and the government has turned out to be a tad shady?

You just can't believe in anyone anymore.

Is this the guy Lana Del Rey married?

Hahaha! Funny gag post, R15!

R37 In Florida, no less ! I mean, what is this world coming to ? In Florida, for Pete's sake ? Who'd have thunk it ?

SDF.

Quelle surprise.

R25 Men call each other fags all the time. It’s in the same context as dick, douche, or asshole. It can be a non-hostile insult in social interactions with friends, which is exactly how the N word started in the black community.

There’s gays who throw around the word fag all the time too, it’s right here on the board whether it’s an insult to offend or a non-hostile insult, it gets thrown around.

So it’s super hypocritical you think it’s different.

And to add on even more, he said it the same exact way all white guys who say it do. The idea that he’s just in this black circle and the lingo wore off on him is false. This is a white guy who uses it with his redneck friends the same way the frat white guys do. And again, it’s about mockery.

R30 His point was he could have picked it up in prison cause you know, that’s where it’s okay for white people to use the word in a circle with black men. That makes sense.

It’s probably because he’s white trash. All poor people think they can use that word for some reason. Asians and Hispanics do the same shit too.

Lt. Dan says 'n' word — and how it's bad for Kamala

R43 you are kinda right. But there is a slight distinction. The way we reclaimed the N word in the black community, nigga simply functions as a general noun for boy or male. Like “come to the store with me, my nigga” or “my girl was at a party and mad niggas tried to talk to her.” You have older aunties, and I don’t mean old old, just regular middle age, who might say something like “I got on the subway, and this nigga sat next to me who stunk.” The guy she is referring to could be an Asian chiropractor. It’s not race specific though we don’t expect anyone non black to use it. I am getting older but I don’t think gen Zers are walking around calling each other fags, like one might use the word homie or buddy. Fag is still an insult though today is not restricted to sexuality. But make no mistake about it, no self respecting man, gay or straight, is going to let another man call him a fag to his face without processing it as a diss. I also realize some really eccentric, artsy type gays are trying to make fag a thing like nigga.

Why is DL paying attention to this guy? He isn’t cute or hot in any way. He is ugly inside and out.

What were the arrests for?

I heard he picked it up when he attended church with Sunny Hostin and her family last Sunday.
