YouTuber who went undercover as white man confronted 'America's most racist man' with hilarious prank
You'd be surprised how many places you can get with a bit of confidence, but one YouTuber probably didn't expect to be interviewing someone who is widely considered to be the most racist man in America.
YouTube is home to a wide range of content from Donald Trump's granddaughter's vlogs to scientific challenges, yet some of the most fascinating content is produced by those willing to put themselves in dangerous political situations — if not partly for a bit of a laugh.
That was shown perfectly over the weekend by YouTuber Niko Omilana, as he left viewers in a state of shock as he went undercover as a 'white man' at the far-right Unite the Kingdom march in London.
This is far from his first foray into undercover infiltration though, as three years ago he visited what many believe to be the most racist town in America and ended up interviewing the current head of the Klu Klux Klan.

In a video titled 'I Pranked America's Most Racist Man', Omilana started out his journey in Harrison, Arkansas but ended up in the home of Thomas Robb, acting Imperial Wizard and 'National Director' of the KKK, now referred to as 'The Knights Party'.
Omilana gained access to Robb under the guise of being a BBC interviewer, and changed his name to Imar Nons (pronounced 'I'm a nonce') in the first of many pranks performed throughout the interview.
He repeatedly got Robb to explain his interpretation of the KKK – an organization he has been leading since 1989 – while also going into his own prejudices and racist beliefs.
There were even jokes about Robb participating in other 'klans', to which Omilana asked if he'd ever spoken for FaZe and Optic Clan, two of the most popular gaming and esports organizations who were known for their Call of Duty videos.
Near the end of the interview Omilana revealed what he called the 'ace up his sleeve', showing Robb an Instagram account he'd created called 'UK Stands with KKK' and getting the Imperial Wizard to read out some rather intriguing names.
First up was 'Imap Ussay', and you can imagine how that sounds, then came 'byelleem' which Omilana advised was pronounced like 'BLM' (Black Lives Matter), and then finally 'Sue Kmadeek', which once again requires no explanation.
The guise of the interview appeared to fall apart in the closing moments – particularly when Omilana asked Robb if he'd ever made love while wearing the infamous white hood – after which he was promptly asked to leave.
"What we've done today is got the leader of the KKK, arguably the most racist man in the world, to shout-out BLM," Omilana exclaimed while driving away after the interview, laughing hysterically at his successful prank.
"And he has no idea, absolutely no clue. He said I disgraced myself by asking him if he makes love with his hood on, like he hasn't disgraced himself with his words," the YouTuber added as a final gut punch.
Omilana concluded that the town of Harrison is not inherently a racist town, being home to some 'incredible people', but it does house what can only be considered the most racist person in the country.
