A white food bank worker has been fired from her job after footage appeared to show her telling her black neighbor she is ‘not the right color’.
The woman – who is seen wearing a Hilary name badge – is heard shouting during the incident in Colonial Heights, Virginia:
‘Watch me handle this,’ she yells. ‘You are not the right color, honey.’
The confrontation isn’t part of the woman’s work at the food bank; it apparently has been a simmering issue because their children don’t get along, according to Laquetta Good, the black woman.
In the footage taken Thursday, the white woman later replied ‘Yes you are’ when the Good, 30, asked if her neighbor considered her an N-word.
The clip was shared to Facebook on Friday. It starts with the Chesterfield food bank worker, who hasn’t been identified, standing on the sidewalk while mom-of-two Laquetta stands on her porch. The woman wore a ‘Hilary’ name badge.
A second video appears to confirm the police were called over the incident. It is unclear if any investigation is ongoing. The food bank apparently became aware one of its workers had been involved in an incident.
DailyMail.com has contacted Colonial Heights police for comment.

Laquetta told DailyMail.com: ‘I feel like a prisoner in my own home.
‘She has called me many names before but to hear her being racist, that really shocked me.
‘You should be able to feel comfortable in your own home. This is not acceptable. We still have a long way to go as a society for equality.’
