White Woman Harassed Two Black Women In Charlotte, Gets Fired From Her Job

A video showing a woman harassing two women standing outside their apartment has gone viral, according to WSOC.

It happened happened Friday, Oct. 19, according to Charlotte-Mecklenburg police.

The two sisters, Leisa and Mary Garris, were waiting outside of their apartment for AAA to jump their car when the woman approached them.

“We are so distraught and still very upset about what has taken place only because of the color of our skin,” the sisters said. “It is so upsetting to know that today we still have this overt racism going on in 2018.”

After the woman approached the Garris sisters, you can hear her say, “This is Myers Park, SouthPark, B****. Why are you up in here hanging out?”

The woman is then heard saying, “Hi, how are you?”

One of the Garris sisters is heard saying, “I don’t know, but you’re harassing me.”

The woman responds by saying, “Do I need to bring my concealed weapons too? This is North Carolina by the way.”

The woman asks the sisters multiple times if they live at the Camden View Apartments and asks how much they pay rent.

“Do you live here? Why do we feel that we need to be here like hanging out? Let’s call 911. I want to make sure there’s nothing going on here,” the woman said.

The video also captured the woman apparently citing her salary.

“I make $125,000 a year and I want to make sure that you’re all up in here. Girl, girl, girl. I’m white. I’m girl white. I’m white.”

Channel 9 learned the woman worked for Charter Communications.

Thankfully the woman seen in the video harassing the two sisters have been fired and the Garris sisters are pursuing legal action, as they should. 

Charlotte-Mecklenburg police said officers responded to the issue and gathered information from the Garris sisters.

CMPD said four criminal summons’ have been issued for the woman including two counts of communicating threats and two counts of simple assault. Police said the summons’ have not been served at this time.

The fact this deranged woman threatened to involve weapons during her racial attack is very disturbing and something all of us should worry about. I'm glad both of these sisters are safe and are doing well and I wish the best for them.  One thing all of us can learn from situations like this is to remain calm, and turn on the camera.
