SEE IT: Arizona racist loses Sotheby’s Realty job after telling Black man, ‘This is a no N----- zone’

A self-proclaimed racist told a Black man he couldn’t record video on an Arizona street because it was a “no (N-word) zone” – and the hateful harangue cost him his realty job with Sotheby’s.

Real estate agent Paul Ng accosted YouTuber Andre Abram in Old Town Scottsdale Friday morning and delivered a caught-on-video racist rant that has since gone viral.

“It was probably one of the most negative moments of my life," Abram told the Daily News in a phone interview Tuesday. “It’s hard to explain the feeling inside. It was stomach-churning."

In the video, Ng walks up to Abram and his friend and starts interrogating the two men out of nowhere, questioning their right to be on the public street and pointing out the Michigan plate on their vehicle.

“You know what? We’ve had problems here,” Ng says, explaining why he felt entitled to interrupt.

“I’m a racist. I’m a racist,” Ng admits in the confrontation posted on Abram’s @lilajdre Instagram page.

“This is a no (N-word) zone,” Ng says twice.

“This is a horrible incident, and we would like justice to be served,” Abram’s lawyer Benjamin Taylor told The News after Ng was booked on two misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and released over the weekend.

“This is a hate crime. When you use racial slurs to verbally assault someone, that is definitely a hate crime. Hopefully the city of Scottsdale will take this seriously, and both the county and city attorney will look seriously at this case,” he said Tuesday.

Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty said in a series of Instagram posts that it terminated Ng’s involvement with the firm.

“On Sunday we learned of an extremely hateful and racist video that was posted on social media showing one of our inactive Independent Contractors, Paul Ng, demonstrating abhorrent, unacceptable behavior,” Nadine Angela Sciarani, marketing director with the realty office, said.

“Upon learning of this video, we took immediate action in severing his license, terminating his involvement with us effective immediately and condemning his disgusting behavior," she said.

Attempts to reach Ng directly were not immediately successful Tuesday.

According to the Arizona Republic, Ng brought up Black Lives Matter and Antifa during his interview with police. He reportedly said he expects bad things will happen around next week’s election, and he was “just getting ahead of the game.”

Abram said Tuesday he hopes Ng will be prosecuted “to the furthest extent of the law” so others won’t have to suffer what he endured.

“The fact that he’s seeing some partial justice at this point, I feel satisfied about that. We’re moving toward something great,” he said.

The former high school football player who moved to Scottsdale this year after earning his marketing degree in college and deciding to pursue his YouTube career full time also praised the Scottsdale Police Department for its swift action arresting Ng.

“They saw it online and reached out to me that same day. They were very understanding,” he said. “They moved forward immediately. I appreciated it.”
