Video: Ugandan Police arrest racist American pastor for assaulting and humiliating hotel employee in Kampala
Police in Uganda has arrested Jimmy Taylor, the racist American pastor who was caught on camera attacking an employee of Grand Imperial Hotel, Kampala.

““NO! NO! You obey what I say. I don’t obey you. Open my f****** room now! You b**** Look at me! Look at Christ who died for you,” the American says.
