Your support makes all the difference.Footage of one woman's racist tirade while travelling on a South London bus with her young child has emerged after a fellow passenger filmed the incident.
The rant seems have initially started after a comment on the race of her son as the mother shouts, "his dad's not black.....you're a mongrel".
The event took place on the route 315 bus in West Norwood, as shocked passengers looked on.
She continued to make racist remarks towards black women, and threatened the person the rant was aimed at, saying "I will get you chopped up".
18 year old Simone Ruggiero, who recorded the video, said "The driver knew who she was and told her several times to get off the bus. I've even got a message from him thanking me for the video".
