According to NBC 2, Will Osley and Melvin Finley, owners of OF Logistics, were unloading sheet metal from a truck in Lehigh Acres when Gina Brashear, our titular Florida Woman, decided that she needed to say something. βMe and him are on the back of the truck. Weβre still working. Weβre still unloading the sheets of metal onto the pallet,β Finley told NBC 2. βWe start hearing this commotion on the other side of the truck just getting louder and louder and more intense.β
The customer the men were assisting began to record the incident on her phone. In the video, Brashear could be heard saying βniggerβ six times within 30 seconds. She starts the barrage in truly the whitest way by saying βIf you think Iβm gonna have a nigger tell me heβs not moving from my driveway.β When told by the person recording the video that she shouldnβt say that word, Brashear doubles down and says βI can use the word nigger all goddamn motherfucking day.β
Whew, chile, the whites.
When NBC 2 reached out to Brashear for an interview she doubled down. βIt doesnβt matter if I said it 100 times in 30 seconds,β said Brashear. βThereβs nothing illegal about saying it.β Yeah, quick note on that. Having consulted my lawyer mother, while harassment is not a criminal offense, it can be considered a civil offense. So while not βtechnicallyβ illegal, there could be some legal liability.
Damn, I just knew all those years of watching my mom go to law school would one day pay off.
Brashear also straight up admitted that she was racist. βDo I have reasons to be racist? Absolutely I do,β she told NBC 2.
You know, for a group of people who Iβve been told for years suffer from βeconomic anxiety,β these folks sure donβt care if racism winds up fucking up their bag. I mean, should the victims decide to file civil charges against her, thatβs money out her pocket. Should she, like so many in recent years, get fired from her job due to being racist, thatβs more money out her pocket. Hell, if employers donβt wish to hire her because the first thing that pops up when you google βGina Brashearβ is her admitting sheβs a racist, well, thatβs just guaranteeing sheβs going to be broke as a mug.
White people, listen to me. For both of our sakes, just stop being racist. Thereβs money in it.
The victims of Brashears rant were understandably shaken up by the incident, telling NBC 2 it was a level of racism that they have never experienced.
βIβve been insulted before. Itβs nothing new to me, but this time around itβs a little, I donβt know, it just feels a little different,β Finley told NBC 2. βI have a 7-year-old son and I dread the day that he would have to go through anything similar to what I have had to go through.β
I truly hope that by the time Finleyβs son grows up, white people will have finally become fiscally responsible enough to not be racist.
