Three Black women were subjected to a racist tirade unleashed by another woman at a Los Angeles County beach Sunday morning. The confrontation was captured on video by one of the women.
Brittany, Jessyka and Raquel were on their regular Sunday morning run at Dockweiler Beach in Manhattan Beach, California, when they were harassed by woman who claimed they had attacked her.
“I’m calling the police. This woman just hit me,” the woman woman in a bright pink shirt says at the start of the video while holding up her phone. “You are so violent. You Africans are so f-cking violent,” she says. “You’re an African, right?”
The woman then says that she is just trying to get a description. “Why are you so offended by the fact that you’re an African?”
“You called me a n-gger,” says Brittany, the woman behind the camera.
“You’re an African.”
“So an African is a n-gger?”
“You’re trying to put words in my mouth, the woman says while raising the phone to her ear, and yelling, “Police! A woman just accosted me! She violently attacked me from behind!”
“I need a paramedic, I need an ambulance, “My environment has been harmed by this African Black person.”
Brittany repeats several times that the woman called her the N-word. Then, the woman in the pink shirt, who herself is not wearing a mask, says “She’s not wearing a mask,” while pointing in Brittany’s direction
As the woman continues to allege that she has been attacked, the Brittany says that the woman told her to go back to Africa earlier, and that she would get her the cheapest flight back to Africa.
Brittany stands back at a distance while filming, as the woman continues speaking into the phone. “I have been harmed by the environment this African has created.”
Seemingly anticipating the arrival of the police, the woman says that she is on the bike path at the beach and the video ends soon afterward.
The group of women told ABC7 they first encountered the woman at the beginning of their run and then began to film her upon the second encounter while on their way back.
“I have to expose this, so I actually caught up to her and was like, ‘Tell me again what you said.’ And that’s when I started recording and she just continued,” Brittany said.
El Segundo Police said the woman did not contact a police officer. One of the three women filed a report with the LAPD.
