Who would have thought that wearing a Black Lives Matter t-shirt in New York is an invitation for racists to approach you to within inches to show their ugliness? But that is exactly what happened to a Yale Ph.D. student.
A black student filmed a middle-aged white woman who launched into a vile racist tirade on a Manhattan street — repeatedly using the N-word and calling her an “ape.”
Yale PhD student Kathryn Graves, 27, was walking in Midtown in her Black Lives Matter T-shirt when the woman began shouting at her, prompting her to turn down the music in her headphones.
“Obama’s f—ing d–k right next to his ape f—ing wife,” the unidentified woman rants at Graves, according to the footage posted to Instagram Sunday.
After making monkey-like noises at the Brown University grad, the woman — clutching a case of Natural Ice beer — appears to come just inches away from her as she repeatedly calls her a “n—er ape.”
“What’s the matter, you n—er ape, you got time to f—ing do your hair?” the woman continues to rant.
“What’s the matter, you got time to do your f—ing pink a– f—ing hair, you n—er Obama f—ing ape,” she says, before turning to finally cross Third Avenue.
