An Air Force Reserve’s recruit suddenly found herself without income after she was fired from her job because of a racist video she uploaded online.
The 20-year-old Tabitha Duncan claimed she wanted to go hunting for African-American men using some very offending terms in a recording that quickly went viral on social media. The video was shared on SnapChat first but was later deleted.
However, before its removal, it was quickly distributed all over the Internet, and Duncan was identified by various people who knew her.
In the clip, the young woman could be seen in the company of two other men. In just a 15-second recording they managed to exchange the racist sentences that got Duncan in trouble several times.
As a result, a representative for her recent employer, the Air Force Reserve, informed her that her services are not needed anymore.
Lt. Col. Chad Gibson stated on Thursday her video could not be tolerated as it did not match the values of the Air Force.
Furthermore, he added that Duncan would soon be removed from her enlistment.
Besides losing her employment in the Air Force Reserve, the notorious waitress was also fired from her other job at the Social Bar & Grill in St. Louis, Missouri.
The owners of the establishment threw Duncan out as soon as they learned about the offensive clip.
She told the New York Daily News last week, “I was underage drinking, and I said something stupid. I was intoxicated. I have black friends; I have black people in my family, I didn’t mean it.”
Afterward, the 20-year-old tried to apologize for her words and confessed to being under the influence of alcohol when the video was made even though she was underage. Additionally, Duncan claimed she would seek professional help for her troubling behavior.
Many commenters say that the video is part of a more significant problem in the country.
