So it's getting to where several incidents a week of this are happening. The fact that others have been video taped and their racist behavior publicized doesn't seem to give these women pause before acting out so is there something else perhaps that we should or could do? I personally don't think until they are charged with one or more crimes or sued will it begin to sink in that what they're doing is harassment and a violations of the other party's rights in most cases.

A white woman who told two black women "you don't belong" in a Charlotte, North Carolina, neighborhood where one of the women actually lives has been fired from her job following the social media notoriety her drunken rant brought her.
Susan Westwood, who bragged in the tirade about her $125,000 salary, was fired from Charter Communications over the weekend.
“The incident recorded in Charlotte is a blatant violation of Charter’s code of conduct and clearly disregards the company’s commitment to inclusion and respectful behavior,” a statement from Charter's parent company Spectrum Communication read. “As such, Ms. Westwood’s employment with the company has been terminated, effective immediately.”
The women were waiting for AAA to help with a car that wouldn't start when Westwood came over questioning what they were doing in the area and making racist and threatening comments.
"Is your baby daddy here?" Westwood can be heard saying in video one of the women started recording. Westwood also asks, "Do I need to bring out my concealed weapon?"
The incident happened on Oct. 19. Westwood reportedly approached the black women without provocation.
“You’re hanging around a place you don’t belong -- get out of here!” she told them.
On top of the firing, Westwood's rant earned her wide derision on social media and the nickname #SouthParkSusan, joining #BBQBecky and #PermitPatty in the pantheon of white women caught on video harassing black people for performing innocent tasks.
"I’ve been living here for over a year and I’ve never been treated this way. I’m a resident just like her," one of the African-American women told a police dispatcher.
