A Chicago woman went on an insane, racist rant while shopping at an arts and crafts store, and, of course, the whole thing was caught on video.
‘Yea, I Voted For Trump!’
The funniest part about this particular insane Trump supporter is that this whole incident had NOTHING to do with politics. Zero. Nada. Zilch.
Employees at the Michaels store located at 3131 N. Clark Street in Chicago asked a customer if she would like to buy a reusable bag for $1.
Apparently, that was just $1 too much.
The woman launched into a tirade that, according to witnesses, lasted nearly 30 minutes. Much of the tirade was filmed by Jessie Grady, who was shopping in the store with her 2-year-old child.
The insane ranting woman whined about being discriminated against by the Black employees, saying to Grady:
“I was just discriminated against by two Black women, and you, being a White woman, you literally thinking that that’s OK …”
Grady can be heard saying things like, “No you weren’t” in disbelief.
The woman also accused Grady’s child of stealing and her husband of cheating. Ain’t she a peach?
The rant continued for long after that, with the woman hurling all sorts of insults at the employees, who remained calm the entire time.
A Silver Lining
We don’t know the insane racist woman’s name, and, frankly, I don’t care to. What we do know is that Jessie Grady, the woman who filmed the encounter, has a good heart.
Grady learned that the store manager, who took the brunt of the woman’s insults, has three children at home. And Grady wanted to make their holidays merry and bright.
She set up a GoFundMe campaign which she called “Stand Strong Against Racism.” The idea was to raise a little bit of money to give to the store manager for her children’s holiday gifts. The original goal of the campaign was $400.
As of this writing, the campaign has raised over $5300 and counting.
Grady writes:
“There is so much you don’t see in this video. At least ten customers stood next to the manager and waited for the police. That is what shocked the manager and myself the most, that people actually spoke up. You had to be there to see how the people were united … This incident started over a $1 re-usuable bag, but it’s not new for African Americans and other POC. We have to stand up, if you can’t speak up, at least be a witness and share your story.”
In a world of Trump supporters, be a Jessie Grady.
