A Toledo, Ohio man is speaking out — and trying to move out — after posting a video of his white mother repeatedly using a racial slur against him that quickly went viral.
Brian Windle, a biracial man, shared the footage on Facebook last Thursday showing his mother, Julie Marie Windle, screaming the N-word at him multiple times during a heated exchange.
"You hear her? Do you hear her?" Brian said in the clip. "Y'all might be right at UTMC; she is racist."
His mother can be heard shouting back: "TELL EVERYBODY, I DON'T CARE. Get out of my house!"
The nearly 20-second video cuts off as she walks away.
"This is my mom. She has been doing and saying things like this my whole life," Windle wrote in the caption.
Windle also alleged his mother — a nurse director at the University of Toledo Medical Center (UTMC) — was already under investigation for racist behavior at work. He described her pointing to him and his grandson as proof of her character, writing that she invokes their existence as a shield against accountability.
"There are innocent African American women losing their jobs because they're saying you're racist," Windle wrote. "I went through this my whole life, and now my kids are starting to see this stuff." He is the father of two young boys.
Since posting, Windle has been asking Facebook followers for help finding a private landlord and launched an online fundraiser to help him move out of his mother's home.
The response online, as reported by the Atlanta Black Star, was swift and emotional.
"Brian, you are as brave as they come," a Facebook user commented on video of the incident. "Thank you for advocating not just for yourself but for those patients that she deserves."
"There's never ANY reason on any level that you call anyone that — let alone YOUR SON," another wrote. "I'm sorry you deal with this from someone that's supposed to love and protect you."
