Lovely. Really just lovely.
Disgusting, actually. What a racist piece of crap. This woman verbally abuses an African-American postal worker.

2. In watching it further, she actually slaps him.
This woman and her pointy white hood should be arrested for battery.

3. I didn't see that.
Jesus, Mary and Joseph. It's hard to believe that there are still people like this living among us. And she actually says "I'm not prejudiced, but..." I wonder which teabagger group she belongs to - 'cause you know, they're not racist or anything either. :eyes:

4. Indeed. And it shows just how much there is to overcome.
This is the kind of shit that lies just below the surface most of the time. If she's in a position to hire and fire at her place of work, do you reckon a black person would get a fair shake?

6. I'm betting a black person wouldn't even get an interview with this 'person'.
This makes me terribly sad. I'm ashamed to say that my father is the same way. Not that he's pulled some shit like this, but he is a right-winger and he says things like, "I'm not a racist, but...most of them are so lazy". Or most of them are...fill in the blank. He also 'isn't a homophobe', but "they are so...you know". We argue all the time about this topic - and politics in general. I'm pretty sure I'm adopted...:)

5. Too bad the postal guy couldn't have given her a 2nd amendment remedy after that slap.
:grr:

7. I sure couldn't blame him. He seems like a very nice guy, and very patient. n/t

9. The absolute worst thing about it is that Ms. Ball Gargler cost him his livelihood.
She complained, apparently, and now the guy's out of a job -- after getting slapped and called the N-Bomb.

I cannot quantify the rage I feel towards people who pull shit like that.

10. You're fucking kidding me.
He lost his job? Did his idiot supervisors see the videotape? This is like Bizarro World or something.

13. If you expand the comments under his videos (there is a Part 1 and a Part 2),
you will see that he explains that he was fired because of this incident.

He was in a Catch 22. He couldn't drive off with the scuzzbag's arms in the vehicle because that could have caused any of a number of injuries, some possibly fatal. So instead, he had to sit there and be as polite and reasonable as even Job would have been under the circumstances, and suck it up only to ultimately get fired.

14. There are two parts to the video on YouTube.
On the page for the first one, you'll see a link to the second part over on the sidebar.

In the user comments right under both videos, he explains that he got fired.

I hope he sues that town and Ms. Ho-Bag and makes a mint!
