Walmart Shopper Calls Black Woman Racial Slur
A Latina customer shared a video of a white woman insulting her and shouting a racial slur at a Black woman.
Racist and xenophobic tirades in public places are becoming new American fashion. White supremacist fly off handle every other day. Here’s just one more example.
A Larina woman, Eva Hicks, posted on Facebook a video showing a white woman yelling nasty things at her and another Black woman. The incident took place in a Walmart in Centeron. The customer in a teal shirt tells Hicks to “go back to Mexico,” then she starts insulting a Black woman who tried to shame her with a racial slur. “A n****r is calling me ignorant?”

The experience left Hicks and allegedly the Black woman in deep shock.
“I never in my life thought this would happen to me,” Hicks wrote in her post. “Just on a simple trip to the grocery store after a hard day of work. I love this country and I will stay in this country.”
I’m calling on @WalMart to ban this customer from this store for life. This cannot be tolerated. https://t.co/J8ZklZrwLJ
