Walker County’s livestreamed commission meeting came to an unusual end Thursday night. During the public comment portion of the meeting, a man named Ray C. Burnfin with the alias ‘The Lone Ranger’ came up to speak.

He began by talking in favor of the Confederate flag and said it was not a hate symbol. It appeared he has a patch of the flag on his jacket.

He then condoned the use of racial slurs and commented on race relations.

The masked man then said there was nothing wrong with the “N-word,” and proceeded to say it out loud.

“There is nothing wrong with it… we’re colored too. It’s alright to use if you don’t turn a sharp ‘er,'” he said.

Burnfin also said there was no such thing as white supremacy or black supremacy.

The commissioners do not reprimand him, or cancel his allotted time. He was the final speaker and none of the commissioners commented on his statements immediately afterward.

On Friday morning, Commission Chairman Shannon Whitfield said Burnfin’s statements “do not reflect the values in their community.”

Following the meeting, the video was deleted from the county’s Facebook page and then re-uploaded with an edited version without the man’s comments.
