A Black woman in Hattiesburg, Mississippi, is being hailed as a hero after defending a Black employee who was allegedly being harassed by a white woman at a Ross store.
"Yallllll, this my store in Hattiesburg & the Caucasian female went off on me for no reason and the Black queen defended me," the woman, who goes by Elisha on Twitter, wrote.
The clip posted to Twitter starts with the Black woman confronting the woman who Elisha identifies as a manager at a LongHorn Steakhouse, though not yet confirmed. The woman in the dress tells the white woman she'd been "talking crazy" to the employee. As the clash continues, the white woman threatens to call security, which appeared to be the wrong move.
"I don't give a f**k who you call. I'll give you a reason to call the f**kin police," she said while getting in the face of the white woman. "F**k you and I meant that. F**k you."
The Black woman tried to make it more clear that she's not intimidated, telling the manager she put her items down solely for the purpose of confronting her.
"I came to swing you out. I know you," she said. "You better not f**k with her no more though. You better not f**k with her no more. I put my s**t down and I came back here for you."
As the woman, seen in a Black shirt, continued to insist that she didn't do anything, the other woman refused to back down.
"That s**t gonna stop," she said. "Sick of you motherf**kers. You racist b***h."
Again, the woman threatened to call police and received the same response.
"I don't give a f**k who you call. You racist b***h," the Mississippi woman said in response.
Social media users praised the Black woman for coming to the worker's defense.
Others noted how easily apparent it was that she wasn't one to be messed with.
Some saw the incident as a perfect example of U-N-I-T-Y.
Others saw bars.
The employee said she hadn't done anything to upset the woman she identified as her manager.
The woman standing up to the manager appeared to be familiar with the employee she's defending.
"That girl employee of the month, she don't bother nobody," she said before being escorted out of the store.
