So, apparently, there is a black comedian out there named Druski (whose given name is Andrew Desbordes) who is turning a lot of heads these days with a video of himself not just in whiteface, but with the whole of his upper body painted white, complete with a farmer’s tan sunburn and tattoos. It’s a total hoot until you start paying attention to what is going on.
Druski is getting justified kudos for his astonishingly convincing disguise, which he used to go to a NASCAR race and pose as a rambunctious Southern white guy, but the really impressive work here seems to have been done by his makeup artist (or more likely, makeup team). A clear cultural agenda mars the performance of Druski himself.

Druski posted a video clip of himself as this character on X Tuesday evening. It runs just two minutes and seventeen seconds, but it gives viewers an ample glimpse of the extraordinary makeup job and of the comedian’s adventures as a white man at NASCAR. As of Wednesday afternoon, this clip has over 83 million views on X and has over 555,000 likes.
Druski clearly wanted to make people think he was a Southern redneck; the New York Post observed Wednesday that he “completed the redneck character’s look with a mullet, beard, American flag cowboy hat and a pair of overalls with no shirt revealing American flag tattoos.” When Druski posted the video, he added the caption “That Guy who is just Proud to be AMERICAN.”
Okay, so this hyper-patriotic white Southern guy, as Druski portrays him, is in the first place a total slob, walking around with his massive rolls of fat on display for the delectation of all and sundry, yelling, spitting, cursing, drinking, and telling off-color jokes. All right. It’s all in fun, right? Sure. But Druski’s redneck is a stereotype come to life, so on-the-nose that it raises the inevitable question of what the reaction might be if any other group were portrayed in a similar way.
Some people have asked if Druski’s act means that blackface is no longer the heinous crime it has been portrayed as being over the last few years, but the larger question is why it is culturally acceptable on the left to make fun of Southern white men but of no other group of people anywhere on the planet.
And it gets worse. The Post notes that at one point, the white redneck Druski “disgustedly spits at the feet of a black man walking past him while leaning against the hood of a car.” Nor is that all: “In another moment, he stops his truck beside a black man and asks him ‘You lost, boy?’ When the man tells him he’s going to the NASCAR race, Druski leans out the window, spits, and tell him to ‘find something safe to do, boy.’”
Now, this video shows Druski’s character interacting with a good many NASCAR fans, and yet Druski himself is the only one who is racist. The odds that any actual person doing any genuinely racist thing would have been included are only around 100%, and yet Druski can only show himself being racist toward black people, and only when no one else is around. He is apparently trying hard to show NASCAR fans, Southern white Americans, and patriots in general as a bunch of racists, but he can’t find anyone to flesh out the stereotype, so he has to do it himself.
Motorsports photographer Holden Edward accordingly commented: “Conflicted because it’s funny but also I kinda hate to see it. It’s hard enough as it is trying to tell people that you watch NASCAR without them either 1) giving you s**t or 2) judging the hell out of you. We don’t need to promote the stereotype, yet NASCAR gave him VIP…”
Why on earth they would do that when Druski clearly wanted to portray NASCAR fans in as negative a light as possible was not immediately clear. Edward said: “It’s definitely a product of something thinking ‘hey all publicity is good publicity’ but it’s really not. Everything seems to be one step forward two steps back.” He added: “I believe he was there with the Monster drivers, [Riley] Herbst and [Ty] Gibbs.” Why would drivers at a NASCAR race want to perpetuate these stereotypes? That also was unclear.
One X user commented: “That skit is not going to help the stereotype and reputation at all. That scene where he spits at the guys feet is especially bad. Not a good look imo.” He was talking about the reputation of NASCAR, but the same could be said for Southerners, white Americans, and all patriots. With hatred of this kind directed at them, and not infrequently, how will the nation’s divisions ever be healed?
Now w hats Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton and the NAACP have to say?
They probably said “bravo.”
If only George Orwell were still here to point out that “All stereotypes are equal, but some are more equal than others”.
Good one. I’ll try to remember thar.
Blacks best open their eyes to this sad racist display.
White folks no longer have white guilt that is normal whites not Leftist liberal losers.
Today’s White America sees Blacks like they see the native Indians who complain and sour everything done to help them and always seem to be victims.
In the meantime Spanish, Asians and all other ethnic groups are striving and living the American dream while Blacks accept poverty and violence in their communities and follow the democrats formula of failure.
The sad thing is, they don’t seem to have high enough IQ to really, “open their eyes,” at least not the majority (which is terribly sad… not trying to be rude, just pointing out facts).
There was a post going viral on social media where a family had adopted a black 18 year old who was extremely physically and mentally disabled… and all the white people commenting were happy for them because the article stated he had been in foster homes for 18 years! Almost every single comment by a black person seemed worried or made strange insinuations that he would be in danger… that they, “hoped he’d be treated right,” etc and were sending ridiculous prayer emojis.
It’s because they’re projecting. They *know* their own race tortures mentally and physically handicapped children/adults, posting the videos on discord or TikTok… they are aware of this fact, so they project that onto white people.
Lots of white female commenters tried to point out how weird their comments were, but no one seemed to see that they were just projecting what they would do, or what they know their own race does because 1) it sounds too horrible to be true and 2) so many people are in the dark about this and the black people themselves are probably in denial but their subconscious still knows the truth).
Bleh!
Odd that his racist slurs weren’t greeted with affirmation by the attendees he was satirizing. His act was shameful when it could have been entertaining.
Does this mean the Step And Fetch Its are putting on a new minstrel shows in white face?
If I was black, with my personality and the era I grew up in. I would have joined the Black Panthers with the utmost soul and when that was mismanaged, I would have been up the loudest stand up comedian like a black Lenny Bruce.
I did not click the link to see the pic or vid – maybe later – too early in my morning waiting for breakfast and the early morning business.
Proving what the Race Card Industry says….only white people can be racist…so even black people have to transition to white, to be racist…even though they actually ARE racist black people.
Many blacks are racist and hate white people. Sadly, while countless remain with their lives and futures riveted in the past and their hearts destroyed by their self-inflicted hostilities, the world moves onward.
There are so many blacks affirming the grifter’s mentality allowing them to glorify whatever forms of theft, forgery, embezzlement, and fraud they can get away with while endlessly screaming that it’s not their fault.. DEI facilitated some obtaining positions for which they were and they remain demonstrably incompetent, yet other blacks clearly aware of this remain in the shadows fearful of being gaslighted if they knowingly tell the truth.
The violence they inflict upon each other destroying their own communities is senseless, yet it continues.
The daily news cycles provide evidence of the criminal get-of-jail cards indiscriminately applied for their benefit letting repeat offenders out to prey upon yet additional innocents. Numerous blacks elevate criminal behavior and have idolatrous worship of gang bangers and rappers. Missing from the rosters are men like pediatric neurologist Ben Carson and women like professor Carol Swain along with many others who are not venerated in black homes, schools and black culture so children are not provided with them as role models of hard work and achievement.
Now, while this image of the white “cracker” may have been given the black nod and wink, wink of approval, sadly this and other obviously racist behavior is exposing their true contempt for white people. Make no mistake, we are well aware of this hatred and we do not share in the cultivated, white-guilt syndrome facilitating it.
Blacks are themselves alienating good people and those they have turned to are anything but their friends.
Men and women should be judged by the content of their character, not the color of their skin; a radical truth that the world’ still refuses to understand. Blacks engaging in racism are no different from anybody else doing so and the spitting caricature of a white man sits right along side the black defensive player booted from the opening game of the NFL Eagles-Cowboys opener for spitting at his black opponent. Black face, white face, what goes around, comes around and nobody escapes the consequences of their behavior!
this black dude should go to Cincinnatti and pull that stunt, yea go to the same place where a black gang jumped two whites and beat the woman to near death while then claiming they heard racist remarks
better yet why dont he dress up like a Muslim and portray muslims in a bad way like he is portraying all nascar folks, bet he would not do that and he would not get far with that stunt anyways. dress up like a muslim and spit at jews and make off color racist jokes toward them, then he would already know why this was stupid and bad just like he already knows how Muslims would fell if he did that to them
If he were attacked while doing that, he would no doubt shout, “I am black! I am black!” Then would the media tell us the reasons for the attack were unknown?
it seems like this was staged, for example he spits in the direction of a black man the man just briefly glances around and he acts scared and spits the other direction to make it look like he is just spitting every where. he also calls another black man passing by a boy and ask him where he is going, ha ha that aint happening with most black men without some push back, plus he was just walking around alone? this is not about comedy its about stirring up crap on the internet again and promoting stereotypes against NASCAR supporters.
I was surprised anyone found it funny. I guess we’re supposed to go with ‘lighten up-it’s all in good fun’ Was about as funny as tom hanks/snl
I guess we’re also supposed to believe that “rednecks” drive around with open containers any&everywhere they go?
If NASCAR went with ‘any press is good press’ & this guy is going with ‘any press is good press’ we shouldn’t oblige- Irrelevant! Used! Tacky! Classless!
The Kenyan (Barack Obama) sowed a lot of racist confusion among us. The son of a black Kenyan and a white woman from Kansas (Stanley Ann Dunham), the Kenyan hates all white people (yes, her too) as inherent racists. Thus, a metaphysical question arises: Which is more racist, the Kenyan’s white half or his black half?
Barry Soetoro’s father was an Indonesian, Lolo Soetoro. That’s why Brokeback Hasbeen Osama’s hair is straight, which is impossible for a mulatto. He tries to hide it by keeping his hair extremely short but he couldn’t hide it unless he saved his head. And the Obama’s in Kenya say he’s a liar.
In Obama, each side hates the other, so both sides. In reality, the overwhelming weight of racism is one-sided and black. Whites just want to be left alone or get along. Blacks want to live among whites and rejoice in their destruction. NAXALT, of course.
