Party City employees New Year's eve, Plano, Texas 'Going to the Party Store on the last day of 2001, I decided to take my camera since I figured we're all crazy before the New Year. Sure enough, most employees were wearing New Year's hats. 'This was my first total-strangers Phoon request. First, I asked a worker who started to.
The party is over for a racist Jersey woman who felt a need to rant about her take on Black Lives Matter and more.
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.
The angry woman then asks “Know why?” then explains her hatred was caused by a black motorist who she said went through a red light, then looked at DeLuca as if the traffic incident was her fault.
“F--k all you Black Lives Matter people,” she ranted.
“Kill ‘em all, bro,’” she ended her 45-second diatribe.
A social media search that drew more than a million page views led to the woman being identified, then fired from her retail job.

“We have zero tolerance for this type of behavior & language,” Party City wrote in a statement, claiming the woman had been fired and reported to the “appropriate authorities.”
The company added it had “zero tolerance” for the way DeLuca behaved and the words she said.
DeLuca wrote an apology on Facebook, according to news sites including Patch.com, though the link was inactive Friday evening.
“This is very hard to do being that my fear for everyone who chooses not to listen because no matter the situation or case to why I expressed myself this way in such a way will mean nothing. 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.”
NJ.com reports DeLuca is from West New York, N.J.

Party City has fired an employee who it says posted a video on social media in which she ranted about Black people and the Black Lives Matter movement.
The video, which includes racial slurs and other disparaging langauge, was picked up and shared on social media, and a Twitter user identified a woman by name as being behind the video and said she worked at Party City, prompting the company to respond.
In a statement posted on Twitter, Party City said it had 'zero tolerance for this type of behaviour & language' and said it had made the decision to 'terminate' the woman's employment at the company.
A Facebook user with the name Jacqueline Michele DeLuca, the same name mentioned by the Twitter user, later apologised in a post on Facebook. Business Insider contacted DeLuca for further comment but did not immediately hear back.
Party City said it 'stands in solidarity' with its Black colleagues and customers. 'We condemn acts of racism, bigotry and hate,' it said. 'Disregard for basic human rights of any kind has no place in our communities or country, and certainly not at Party City.'

Earlier this week, a FedEx worker was also fired and a corrections officer was suspended after they were caught on video reenacting George Floyd's death to taunt Black Lives Matters protesters in Franklinville, New Jersey.
Unrest over Floyd's killing by the police in Minneapolis on May 25 has prompted many companies to speak out on racism and reevaluate some of their own policies in the past few weeks.
