A former Party City employee lost her job at a Secaucus, N.J., store after posting video on Twitter where she goes on a racial tangent while riding in a car.
'I f---ing hate black people, bro,' said a woman identified by Business Insider as Jacqueline Michele DeLuca.

'F--k all you Black Lives Matter people,' she ranted.
'Kill ‘em all, bro,'' she ended her 45-second diatribe.

DeLuca wrote an apology on Facebook, according to news sites including Patch.com, though the link was inactive Friday evening.

This is my apology to you ALL,' she reportedly wrote. 'I regret using such words against a race I know everyone is behind for and I never meant to hurt anyone in any way. I let anger get the best of me at the moment and I ask as a human to please forgive what I'm trying to get across.' Real casino games online.
