Racist New York woman using the N-word and obscenities next to her kids
This video is a shocker. The poster of this video said the following in the description.
Published on Jun 3, 2014
This happened to me last Friday May 30th 2014. I’m more upset that it was done in front of her children. They will have hate and have no idea where it came from. http://www.IamOYAB.com

Today’s racists are generally cautious in their display of racism. They generally would not use the n-word so blatantly even if they have the urge to use it. It may be on the tip of their tongues but they know it is no longer cool.
What is interesting is that the current political climate in this country allows many who would control their uncivil and other negative impulses to not keep them in check. With a Right Wing that has no problem negatively racially caricaturing the President or a type of politics that shows outward hostility to the ‘others’ be they gay, liberated women, Latino, Black, foreign, poor, jobless, etc., this behavior should be expected. They’ve made uncivil insensitive behavior vogue.
This video shows a woman’s total disregard for her kids. Not only is she using profanity in front of her kids, she is using the n-word with abandon. This is poor parenting and borders on child abuse.
Many in the North and the West tend to have the false belief they have the monopoly on tolerance while the South is the bastion of racism. The racial turmoil in many of the major progressive cities like Boston, Los Angeles, Chicago, and many others is probative. I have never seen such a display here in the South.
Release of this video by the author is a service to us all. It is a lens to what is still out there. The use of the n-word is just a symptom. Until Americans are honest about this scourge called racism and a politics that skirts the line of hate and incivility, things will remain the same. Everyone must start addressing it in their own homes and their own families lest things will remain the same.

Seriously sad. Her son is all excited by what is going on and cursing as well. Like someone else said you can tell she does this a lot in front of her kids. Did she say something about stripping for cops and that is how she knows a lot of them? Hard to understand what she was saying with all the nasty, ignorant crap coming out her mouth.

You sir, are amazing. To remain so calm and in control in the face of such ugliness, ignorance, and hatred is stunning to me. My hat is off to you. Thank you for your shinning example.

There is absolutely no hint as to what may have occurred prior to the beginning of the video. For all we know he might have been a dick. People don’t generally react the way that woman did for no reason whatsoever. I’m not going to say she was in the right, but this video really does not show the whole story. So before you all slam that woman, it might be nice to know the whole story.

Benedict,
Your response really surprised me. Irrespective of anything previous, this wasn’t a response to someone who she simply did not like. This was a response where she state what she thought about black people. He could be the worst person on the planet. She was not just speaking to him. She was addressing a people.

Watching this, I see a guy that keeps goading her into more and more. I see her trying to ignore him several times, yet he just keeps pushing. We really have no clue as to what transpired before, but I do see that he’s selling a lot of shirts and such through his website that he has posted right up front on this whole thing. She’s really pissed off over something, but we really don’t know what. From reading comments, it seems that maybe he almost ran one of her kids over. If that was what happened he’s probably lucky that she didn’t try to pull him out of that car.
Also, I just snagged this from his website:
“Phew…… Good Morning to all and a happy #OYAB forever morning to everyone! The out pour of support has been amazing in lieu of the recent current events which took place in Cheektowaga, NY and the orders have been pouring in to show support to a brand that from onset has embodied the extreme opposite of the behavior we all witnessed. I am happy to report that the website will be live within the next two days. However, currently due to the overwhelming volume of orders coming in we are on a two week production back log. Please continue to place your order and we will ensure that everyone’s request is met. ”
Seems he’s really working on making hay while the sun shines.
I’ve been pissed off enough before to call people everything but a white man, so I can understand her going off like that.

Furthermore, found this while looking for more info on Mr. Benning. (our “victim” here)
“From Buffalo Business First:
The credit-collector crackdown continues with New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo announcing that his office has filed a lawsuit against a Buffalo-based agency.
Investigators said city residents Omar Smith, Narvell Benning and Keith Marshall collectively ran 13 debt collection companies under the banner, the Benning Smith Group. The attorney general’s office received over 850 complaints from consumers who faced physical and sexual threats as well as intimidating and sexually harassing tactics in an attempt to collect debts that in many cases, the victims did not owe.
In the statement announcing the lawsuit, Cuomo outlined the charges against the company, charges that appear on the surface even more severe that those companies Cuomo previously cited in his ongoing investigation into credit collection agencies.
“This company made lies, threats and abuse their calling cards in their efforts to manipulate and take advantage of consumers already facing tough economic times,” Cuomo said. “They did everything they could to demean and humiliate their targets, stooping so low as to sexually harass and verbally abuse individuals nationwide.” The lawsuit, filed this morning in State Supreme Court, seeks to shut down all 13 businesses operating under The Benning Smith Group.
Cuomo says the groups actions violated sate and federal laws including posing as law enforcement officials and threatening to jail consumers who didn’t pay their debt immediately.
The release cited over 1,000 instances the AG’s office has identified where Benning-Smith breached state and federal statues.
Cuomo’s investigation revealed that collectors regularly demanded payment for non-existent debts or substantially inflated the amount owed on an actual debt. Using their false law enforcement identities, collectors coerced consumers into agreeing to make payments. Fearful of facing arrest and public humiliation, consumers authorized withdrawals from their checking accounts and sent Western Union money grams or money orders.
According to the AG’s office, in one instance, a Benning-Smith collector kept repeating the name of a consumer’s daughter, describing various sexual things he would do to her unless the debt was paid. Another collector told a female consumer that if both she and her husband would engage in sexual acts with him, he would pay their debt himself. The complaints allege that collectors routinely called consumers drunks, scumbags and deadbeats.
The collection companies that the trio ran operated under the following names: Abrams, Burke & Associates; Benning and Smith Acquisitions, Inc.; Brady and Caruso, LLC; DebtPayments.com; DebtPayments.com, LLC; Fredericks, Goldstein & Zoe; Graham, Noble & Associates Bookkeeping; Graham, Noble & Associates LLC; Graham, Beagle & Associates LLC; Kingman, Cole and Associates, LCC; Marshall and Ziolkowski Enterprise, LLC; Marshall Ziolkowski Acquisitions, LLC; Lansky, Goldstein, Zoe; OLS Payment Services; and University Debt Collection.
The telephone was disconnected at Benning and Smith Acquisitions Inc., and a phone message left at the offices of Abrams, Burke & Associates seeking comment was not returned.
Tuesday’s action is part of a larger investigation by Cuomo’s office looking into unlawful debt collection practices. In June, Cuomo obtained a court order shutting down the fraudulent activities of another Buffalo-based collection racket and initiated criminal charges against the owner of that operation. His office previously shut down two other collectors for threatening and intimidating consumers into paying debts that they did not owe.”

Benedict,
This guy could be the scum of the earth. I don’t know. But this woman’s thought process for a whole race of folks is evident. You did a lot of research on this guy to prove what? That she may somehow be justified? Again, I think you must ask yourself why you need to find a reason for her behavior. His goodness or badness is immaterial to her display of hate. Why can’t you see that my friend?

Number 1: I am NOT your ‘friend’.

Good to know that racism is over.
joizy says
She is a horrible woman, obviously a drug addict and/or alcoholic. She’s a stripper, not that there’s anything inherently wrong with that, but it completes the picture of who she is. I am sorry you, or anyone else, has had to deal with her. This is obviously not an isolated incident for her. I pray for her kids.
the world is mess up says
I just want to say anybody can be the N word but what really upsets me is that its ok for the black people to call eachother it but when a white person does it its wrong. Yes a lot of wrong in this world we live in
