It’s Just a Shopping Bag

A white woman went on a racist, ranting rampage in a Michaels store in Chicago, claiming that a black employee tried to “force her” to buy a $1 shopping bag for her items because she said that they were out of disposable ones. The woman was apparently already on the brink of a meltdown since this question caused her to yell “And I voted for Trump, so there. You want to kick me out because of that? And look who won!” She kept screaming profanities for at least ten minutes, as seen in a video shot by another customer who thought it was too shocking not to chronicle.

When the fired-up woman spotted the camera she went on another tirade. She accused the woman’s baby of stealing and told her to go home to her pathetic life and cheating husband (no clue where she got that from) and kept repeating that she was being discriminated against for being white.
