'I have reasons to be racist'

An unrepentantly racist Florida woman was recorded hurling racist abuse at two Black men she saw working, and her only regret is not saying the N-word often enough during the encounter.
Gina Brashear used the racial slur six times in the short video clip posted online after she saw the two men unloading sheet metal Saturday from a semi-truck, which she complained was blocking her Lehigh Acres driveway, reported WBBH-TV.
"I've been insulted before," said Melvin Finely, who was on the job for OF Logistics during the encounter. "It's nothing new to me, but this time around it's a little, I don't know, it just feels a little different. I have a 7-year-old son, and I dread the day that he would have to go through anything similar to what I have had to go through."
Maybe its time to start boycotting her business.............seriously

(2,018 posts)Never mind "boycotting." That's what Google, Yelp, social media, etc. are for.
Want to be a proud racist? Go broke.

(146,317 posts)We didn't see the truck, so we don't know if it was even blocking her driveway in the first place.
I have had vehicles block my driveway. If it's someone doing something like unloading and I don't need to leave in my car, I just ignore it. They will be gone soon enough. If I do have to drive out of my driveway, though, I will explain that to whoever is blocking the driveway and ask them politely to move enough to allow me to do so. I have never had anyone refuse to do that.
My guess in this case, though, is that the truck wasn't blocking her driveway. The problem for here was that it was a couple of Black men she thought were too close to her driveway, and were parked on a public street near it. She doesn't like seeing Black people, so she worked herself up into a racist rant.
Sucks to be her.
