The story starts one way, but the contents show a troubled history.

Virginia food bank employee fired after telling Black neighbor 'You're not the right color'



According to the Progress Index, a video posted to Facebook by Quetta Good shows her getting into an altercation with the neighbor who can be seen wearing a name tag reading "Rachel."

According to a Facebook post by Good, "Let's rewind back to the beginning when she called the police to search my house for drugs because her words were I couldn't afford my house, I never leave the house so I had to sell drugs because I'm black and had a Porsche. Yes the POLICE SURE DID SEARCH MY HOUSE FOR DRUGS SMH. No drugs were found I work from home!! This has been going on for MONTHS>

The altercation where the N-word was used was shared widely which led to the head of the Chesterfield Food Bank to issue a statement saying the employee is no longer working with them, adding, "It was between neighbors. It is still sad and an unfortunate situation."

On Facebook, CFB CEO Kim Hill wrote, "In response to this situation, we have terminated this employee. We remain committed to creating and providing a positive, uplifting, and encouraging environment for our staff, volunteers, and clients."

The fucking police search the Black woman's home because the White lady suspects something. WTF?

1. Super Karen.

What a waste of oxygen.

[ShazzieB]

32. Karenzilla.

[AZ8theist]

40. Fucking IVANKA

[Justice matters.]

102. dRumpf voteR... no doubt. nt

[HipChick]

2. They search without a warrant?

[stopdiggin]

28. not without an invitation. story smells. -(nt)-

[IronLionZion]

35. 4th amendment would apply here

something doesn't seem right about this juicy tidbit. If true, there's grounds for lawsuits.

[wnylib]

70. My first thought, too. Illegal search

without just cause and a warrant. A neighbor's suspicion based solely on the car .and the woman always being home is NOT just cause for a search.

Something isn't right here.

[SheltieLover]

75. Absofuckingloutely!

[Iggo]

3. Smile as you wave goodbye, Karen...I mean, um, Rachel.

[SergeStorms]

57. Actually her name is 'Hilary' (one 'l') and not Rachel.

That's according to the article in the Daily Mail, anyway. I'm not sure where the name Rachel came from.

[Iggo]

71. Original RawStory article said the name tag said "Rachel."

[sop]

4. Did the police have a search warrant? Was the probable cause only a racist neighbor's suspicions?

This doesn't make sense.

[ShazzieB]

43. Warrant schmarrant.

I have no trouble whatsoever imagining that woman giving them permission to search her home. No, she wasn't legally obligated to even let them in, but we have all seen, time and time again, that things don't tend to go well for poc who don't "cooperate" with the police. I'm sure she is well aware of that and decided to take the path of least resistance, especially knowing there was nothing for them to find.

It makes plenty of sense to me.

[doc03]

5. Our 911 service got a call from a Karen that there were 3 black guys

in their neighborhood. She was asked if they were doing anything illegal she says no they just don't belong here and she wanted them arrested.

[samsingh]

83. actually Ivanka is a better name to use than Karen.

[WHITT]

6. Wow

What the hell ever happened to mindin' your own damn bidness ?

[uponit7771]

7. What kind of medal will that police unions give these LEOs? That's what's going to happen is

... they will be defended by that areas police union hell or hard water

[underpants]

8. Frankly I always thought Rachel was a better nickname than Karen

But Frank didn’t listen to me

[Iggo]

10. All those women named Becky love it, though.

[JHB]

47. And John didn't care because his name is in the toilet already

[whistler162]

59. I always thought calling the person by

their real name was better! Would you call a Black woman Jemima if that was not her name?

[Deuxcents]

9. We're both women fired from their jobs?

[Iggo]

11. LOL...no one's biting.

[marble falls]

24. Just one. They're doing a survey to determine which one goes.

[ShazzieB]

36. Excuse me?

You think the black woman should lose HER job because her neighbor is a raging whack job racist? Are you kidding?

[Silent3]

49. How on earth did you read a "should" out of that other poster's question?

That's just bizarre to take it that way.

[AllyCat]

82. It asks if both women were fired.

Both when there are only two in the story: the person who had her home illegally searched and the racist white neighbor lady. There is no reason to think the former should lose her job. But posing the question suggests it.

[Silent3]

86. Posing the question also suggests that the person asking...

...is probably shocked if that's what happened, not expecting that's what should happen.

[Blue Owl]

12. At least the racist didn't get away scott-free

I hope it goes viral so nobody makes the mistake of hiring that miserable racist!

[dsc]

14. In terms of the search

the person searched had to permit the search, since they couldn't have had a warrant. But the fact they wanted to was still outrageous.

[StarfishSaver]

53. And if she hadn't, she'd be smeared for "not complying "

And if she got manhandled or shot in the process, you'd know what folks here would be saying. ("She should have just complied.&quot

[dsc]

78. She clearly was in a bad spot

Depending on the condition of my house on a given day, I might have said yes but since I usually have a less than pristine house I would have likely said no. I admit, that being white would make that easier. One big reason for a no here is that drugs are very small and thus a search to rule out drugs would be very intrusive. I would be more willing to say yes to an item big enough that they could walk through and not disturb.

[Solomon]

79. Wtf!? You really would agree to a search of your

house without a warrant!? Why on God's green earth would you do that? Do you realize how bad the cops rip up a home when searching a house? Its not like on tv you know, or maybe it is for white folks but when they search a black person's residence they trash it, rip it to shreds.

[dsc]

88. that is why I said a drug search would be a no

but a search for say a missing child might be a yes. A drug search, would of necessity, be intrusive.

[Voltaire2]

92. huh?

So if the police provide the right target of the search, just let them in? If they say the magic word "child" then open the door? Do you usually have random children in your house without you knowing about it? Weird.

The correct response to all police requests for voluntary actions on your part is "no". Don't volunteer information. Don't agree to voluntary searches of your self or your property. Don't agree to voluntarily go anywhere. Don't sign any documents. They are not your friends. Their intention is to arrest somebody for a crime, and if you have their attention it might as well be you.

[dsc]

93. A search for a child would be walking in seeing no child and walking out

a search for drugs would entail taking apart my place, so yea, I would be more inclined to agree to the first than the second.

[Voltaire2]

95. you are naive

unlike a search warrant, a consent search is not constrained by the specifications of the (obviously non-existent) warrant. Anything they find is fair game. You gave up your 4th amendment rights. Good luck with that.

[drmeow]

101. I get your point

Unfortunately the reality is that if the police come in to search your house they are likely to tear it apart no matter how "easily visible" what they are searching for might be. They can always claim they were searching for a hidden room or hidden trap door it a space where you might be hiding something large.

[electric_blue68]

15. Grrrrrrr... Hey, racist twit - there is such a group called...

The Black (even Upper) Middle Class! 🤬

How disgusting, demeaning, insulting, not mention potentially dangerous for her!
😳🤬🤬🤬🤪😠😠

[tanyev]

18. Boy howdy. I recently read Our Kind of People: Inside America's Black Upper Class.

It was fascinating and disturbing in that I kept asking myself “How have I never heard of most of this?” Rachel in the OP would never believe it.

[electric_blue68]

26. My first black friend happened to be upper middle class...

since my folks raised me right I didn't bat an eyelash.

Most of my black friends on my earlier life plus work colleagues, bosses have been lower to middle Middle class, Now that I'm on the poor side I've got poor black friends.A lot depends on situations and circumstances at least that's how it seems to me.

[niyad]

56. Does the name Madam C. J. Walker ring a bell?? Recognized as America's first self-made

female millionaire.

[tanyev]

64. Yes, she was in the book.

But I’m sorry to say that was the first I’d heard of her.

[niyad]

65. I am glad to know that she was in the book. A truly remarkable woman.

[electric_blue68]

68. I heard about her decades back

[niyad]

69. As did I.

[Haggard Celine]

22. That's the thing that always gets me.

There are a good many successful black people where I live. It wouldn't shock me to see a black woman driving a Porsche or living in an expensive home. Sure, percentage wise, black people are poorer than whites, but it's not like there's a rule that black people can't have money. These people who call the police on black people for being wealthy or call their neighbors n-----s are whack jobs. Maybe people should be reporting them to authorities for being insane and needing treatment. They are definitely a danger to others.

[Lancero]

16. Another example of fine police work eh?

Racist assholes, the lot of them.

[Mazeltov Cocktail]

21. Yes... thank you

[cate94]

17. Wtf?

I can’t believe these people. Idiots. I include the cops in this as well.

[lame54]

19. It's called Probable Cau-casian

[electric_blue68]

27. Heh!

[RevBrotherThomas]

94. :D:D:D

I see what you did there...

[Jon King]

20. Police would not have searched her home.

Something doesn't add up here. There would have been a search warrant and probable cause, all documented. And even if he invited them to search her home, they would not have without a warrant because even with permission she could later sue when an attorney told her she just did not know her rights at the time.

We have to be careful with the internet, this story does not pass the smell test. Sounds like there was a racist Karen but the searching the home bit does not add up.

[Elessar Zappa]

25. Sorry, I don't give the benefit of the doubt

to virulent racists, which this woman clearly is.

[OneBro]

30. Actually . . .

Dunno about the rest of this story, but police often search without warrants. Sometimes the person just lets them in; sometimes the cops lie or intimidate their way in, and sometimes they use brute force to gain entry - all without a warrant.

I can assure you that a homeowner later claiming that they didn’t know their rights when they willingly gave consent to search - whether it’s consent to search a home, a car, or the person - is NOT in ANY court going to be a winning argument.

[stopdiggin]

34. Nah

They can come into your home (with invitation) -- but going through your drawers, freezer, toilet tank, shelves in the closet? Not without cause -- and a warrant. And, yeah -- if it did happen -- it would get tossed out of most courts.

[Pepsidog]

51. True. I see it all the time especially with car stops. Cops will ask for consent to search and if

driver objects cops will detain or have the car towed while they get a telephonic warrant. People submit because they don’t want the hassle of dealing with a tow. Invariably the cops find a coupe of weed seeds or a Xanax and bingo you are arrested. People have a very difficult time just saying “no” to cops. Same thing with confessions. Cop says if you want to go home tonight cooperate and give a statement that invariably also makes the State’s case. To many cops with nothing to do but harass mostly non-whites driving through town.

[stopdiggin]

31. doesn't sound right here either.

Even if invited into home -- LE is not going to do a warrant-less 'search.' (on the basis of a neighbor's call) So that part at least is an exaggeration, or a fabrication.

[LisaL]

38. As far as I can tell, you can agree to let police to search your home.

So she might have agreed to it.

[stopdiggin]

41. I can see a quick walk through

w/ permission. Turning the place out? Nope. And -- I really question whether the police are likely to make such a request -- based on a neighbor complaint. Sounds like a courtesy call to me. Effort to 'resolve' neighbor issue.

[localroger]

96. Without a warrant it's no holds barred

The problem with giving them permission for "just a walk through" is that once you've given permission for a search, they can do any kind of search they want. Only a warrant constrains the bounds of the search, you as a citizen can't.

[stopdiggin]

99. talking about what probably occured here

Which I suspect was more a courtesy call, and perhaps a quick walk through (if that). And, of course it is ill advised for any homeowner to 'consent' to a warrant-less search. No one would (or should) advise such a stupid move. (vehicle search places a subject in a slightly different position). But I'm suspicious of the narrative (police wanting to search a house, on the basis of a neighbor complaint) here.

[ShazzieB]

44. What smell test?

Are you kidding me?

[soldierant]

63. Perhaps some of these people have CoVid

and have had their sense of smell impaired.

I mean, just because something is illegal and an abuse of authority doesn't mean it doesn't happen.

I grant the story is not confirmed, but that doesn't make it incredible on the face of it in the US today. I wish that weren't so, but it is.

[Effete Snob]

85. Most police searches are done by consent

People allow the police to search their premises and cars all of the time.

The primary reason is that most people are not comfortable refusing police requests to "come in and have a look around" on various pretexts which they use to gain that permission.

[Tommymac]

23. Any links besides the ad infested RawStory? I hate that site.

Thanks in advance.

[Lasher]

39. Looks like Raw Story is the only source so far

[Celerity]

90. uBlock Origin is free and is low resource-using. It kills most adverts dead.

[bbernardini]

33. Not sure why the article says her name is Rachel.

The nametag clearly says "Hilary" on it.

[HipChick]

45. She was already doxxed...

by her employer...Her name is Hilary....she's was in the process of being wiped from their website

[KatK]

48. Racist woman's name appears to be Hilary Langlois (not Rachel) n/t

[iluvtennis]

37. WTF. I would've asked police for a warrant to search my house just to be difficult. n/t

[RVN VET71]

42. There's gotta be more to this story

Lot’s missing here:


Cops searching a home on the basis of a single phone call? I seriously doubt that was the case. Did they have a warrant? Did Ms. Good invite them in? WTF?

Also, the altercation, itself, seems to have been an eruption of a long period of mutual animosity. What were its causes?

Yes, I believe the white woman deserved to be fired. But, no, I have no idea what motivated her.

Story needs a lot more info before anyone outside of the police, Ms Good and Rachel Whatzername can tell what happened here.

[SergeStorms]

55. From the article...

apparenly their children don't get along, and "Hilary" has been calling her other names before this, but it only escalated into this racial diatribe on the day in question. The white woman has more than a few problems, if you ask me.

[RVN VET71]

60. And now she can tally unemployment among her problems

Still wold like to know why the cops searched Ms Good’s home for drugs. You don’t get a warrant based on some mouthy woman’s insinuations -- and it doesn’t make sense that anyone, let alone a black woman besieged by a crazy white woman, would just give them permission. (Also, what kind of “search” was performed? Did the police enter, have a cup of tea and leave or did they rummage through her underwear drawer and overturn her book-cases like they do on TV?)

[WHITT]

50. The Homeowner Likely Gave Permission

for the police to search her house, just to end the neighborhood rumors. Ridiculous that she had to jump through that hoop.

[luckone]

54. Child welfare whatever it's called in Chicago came to my door .Someone claimed a child was being

abused at my home . Since I didn’t have any children at the time , I denied any abuse and she asked if I would mind if she could look inside . I said sure but was angry
I was also a little worried because I had a Inlaw apartment He was related but not by blood anyway it could be viewed as an illegal apartment but then when she went downstairs with me and saw they were real snarky to me so she could obviously see it wasn’t just a renter and then when he found out what was going on so he could show her his area he started giving her a lot of shit Then she just finally said there is no kid here and before I asked if I could find out who made the report
Her answer was no because they can’t give it out because then people would be afraid to call in a report I asked if it goes on some record she said just the call but also the result of no substantial finding
whatever I didn’t have any children at the time to hide so I knew it would be a useless search

Also police are at your door with a neighbor who looks like that saying your a drug dealer who got the police to actually ask you that so you know where cops head is at and you have a Porsche in the driveway and are black again I would say Ok waste your time assholes
Put in a complaint later but I surely would not argue to add to rumors

All these people saying they would stop the police from coming in or this is fake because no one does that well, the police maybe wouldn’t be coming to your door anyway , so you don’t really know what you’d do in their shoes

[Happy Hoosier]

87. What? No cop is searching anything of mine...

Unless they produce a warrant. I sure as hell am not afraid to assert my rights. Heck, I once refused to speak to a cop without a lawyer present, ‘cause the cop was clearly fishing on a matter that had nothing to do with me.

[uponit7771]

80. LEOs in some PDs don't deserve this benefit of the doubt

[cinematicdiversions]

52. My question is how does a Food Bank worker

who wears a name tag to work afford a house in that neighborhood.

And do not besmirch the good name of Rachel. Tt is wrong a touch antisemitic... This one is a one L'd Hilary.

[GaYellowDawg]

61. She sure took the "L" here.

"L"ost her job.

[niyad]

58. Hey, you ignorant, racist waste of resources, let me introduce you to Madam C. J. Walker,

recognized as America's first self-made female millionaire (back in the days when a million was actually a lot of money!).

Never heard of her? Of course you have not, because you are felony STUPID.

[drmeow]

62. I have to confess that

one of my personal unconscious biases is that I am still sometimes surprised when I see someone of color driving a car like a Porsche. However, my reaction when that happens is to be embarrassed and to remind myself that it is MY BIAS (also to think "I hope the cops don't pull them over!" but that isn't a bias but, rather, a legitimate fear for their safety) - it is NOT to assume they are drug dealers and call the cops on them. Geez.

[localroger]

97. It is more unusual

I've known a couple of Black people who told me they would have gotten a flashier car but they knew it would be an invitation for police harassment and this sort of thing.

[drmeow]

100. That does contribute to my surprise

I do sometimes think "that's brave" - which also pisses me off cause it should not require bravery to buy and expensive/fancy/flashy car (unless you don't have the income which has nothing to do with skin tone and every thing to do with money management)

[rockfordfile]

66. If true about, then the person(Rachel) lying should be arrested.

[BobTheSubgenius]

67. The word of a neighbour is enough to get a search warrant?

That's outrageous! Every part of this is outrageous....except for her getting fired. That was totally on point.

[live love laugh]

72. The word of a WHITE neighbor is sufficient apparently. nt

[Skittles]

73. I can guarantee you that is NOT normally the case

no indeed

[uponit7771]

81. Where? Too many white supremacist in too many PDs and people accept justified as a reason ..

... to do anything

[Carlitos Brigante]

74. I see no reason to keep a bucket of piss handy.......but on certain situations... I don't know.. nt

[RandySF]

76. The City of Colonial Heights fucked up.

I see a nice settlement in Ms. Good's future.

[localroger]

98. Probably not

People agree to searches all the time because the police schmooze or intimidate them or roll out a pretext. They shouldn't, but they do. Once the cops have permission for "a quick look around" they can turn the place upside down if they want to. The only one who is going to get in trouble here is Karenzilla, who might be tagged for filing a false police report but more substantially just lost her job.

[obamanut2012]

77. It's a very white White Flight suburb

Not surprised.

I hope she sues everyone and wins.

[Mad_Machine76]

84. I saw this post

Fervently hoping that the police didn’t actually respond to her. I’m depressed to know that “Karens” are still able to get police to do their dirty work.

[onenote]

89. A competent reporter would have reached out to the police for comment.

[Bettie]

91. So, absent ANY evidence of wrongdoing

the cops searched this woman's home on the say-so of a neighbor?

FFS.

[SallyHemmings]

103. Because the black woman has a nice house and car

it has to be drug money...



If the black woman would have done the same thing would she have been arrested for wasting the time of the police.
