*A Texas woman has gone viral for repeatedly calling her manager at a Houston staffing agency the N-word as she was being fired, and then making up a taunting freestyle rhyme using the slur, reports Heavy.com.
Cell phone video of the June 29 incident at Gibson Arnold & Associates, a staffing agency that focuses on finding candidates for jobs in the legal industry, begins as the woman leans forward in her chair and calls the Black man sitting in front of her a “Fake a** n***a.” She continued, “You have not been to the Niger, the country where people are mixed and they come from the east and the west and the north and the south. You better call the police because I said n***a.” She said the n-word repeatedly in rapid succession, then attempted a freestyle while clapping a beat and chanting, “Let’s make some raps for the n***as… I want to hear your rap, motherf**ker… You’re not a n***a, you’re a fake-a** n***a.”
Throughout this outburst, the manager calmly sat in his swivel chair. According to a statement shared on the firm’s website, the woman was escorted from the building immediately after the exchange.
According to Black With No Chaser, the woman was drunk when she came into work.
Watch below:
The firm’s CEO, Melinda Delmonico, explained in a brief statement on the company’s website:
We had a horrific incident in our Houston office Monday, June 29. A video was posted of a woman ranting and making racist comments. The woman in the video was fired on the spot. The man she is yelling at is one of our valued employees and a leader in our Houston office who was firing her. She was a temporary worker who was escorted out immediately. We do not tolerate such behavior.
The firm added in an updated statement on July 1:
Gibson Arnold & Associates is deeply hurt and angry as a result of an incident that happened in our Houston office. On Monday, June 29, one of our valued employees and office leader, Kenton Oates, was the victim of a horrific racist rant. A woman, whom we had not worked with before, on a short-term assignment, unexpectedly and without cause went verbally ballistic during a group meeting. She had to be escorted out of our office by the building’s security and was immediately terminated. Needless to say, we are incredibly proud to have an individual like Mr. Oates working for Gibson Arnold. His calm demeanor, dignity, strength, courage, restraint and impeccable character during this horrendous emotionally charged situation prevented this incident from escalating further than it did. We are grateful for the outpouring of love and support for Mr. Oates and hope his response will be an example for others to follow.
