From the start of this encounter, mover Keonta Gilmer says things were heated. In the video, a woman confronts the mover hauling furniture, saying she can't get out of her house because of his moving truck.
She appears upset, even though he says he agreed to move the truck for her.
'It was just constant 'F-yous' and then expletives and slurs. It started left and it stayed left,' said Gilmer.
The video posted on TikTok shows the woman walking back to her car. Gilmer's business partner asks for kindness and is instead met with a racial slur.
'That being in your vernacular, like you said for it to slip out so fast it just shows it's common for you,' said Gilmer. 'It wasn't a slipout, you didn't feel bad for it. It didn't take a lot out of you to say it.'
The video has been viewed on TikTok 1.9 million times, with more than 200,000 likes.
In the comments, people recognized the woman by name, however, KRON4 has not officially confirmed that. She even direct messaged the TikTok account that posted the video ,asking for it to be taken down.
'Was a point where she reached out to my partner 'hey, take this video down, it's going to ruin my life,'' said Gilmer. 'Another follow-up with a cease and assist, like a demand. A poorly written one on top of that.'
He says the response shows that the woman isn't sorry for her actions, only that she was caught.
'Unfortunately for me, it's not the first interaction I've ever had where I've been called this slur or this word or dealt with situations like this,' Gilmer said, 'but this is the first time somebody has been held accountable for that.'
KRON 4 attempted to reach out to the woman for comment, but phone calls went unanswered, and her social media accounts appear to all be deleted.

Timelapse: Northern Lights visible in Sonoma County
(KRON) — The aurora borealis was visible in the northernmost region of the Bay Area Saturday night and early Sunday morning. Local photographer Alexander Glavtchev sent these images of last night's Northern Lights from Windsor, Calif. Watch the video at the top of this story for a timelapse of the event. There's another chance the northern lights will be visible in northern Sonoma County between Sunday night and early Monday morning. Stargazers in the city won't be able to view the lights. However, the lights may be visible online using AlertWidlfire cameras. The Northern Lights occur when energetic particles from the sun collide with atoms and molecules in the Earth's atmosphere, creating glowing colorful skies, according to NASA. Video: Second cliff rescue at San Francisco's Battery Crosby in two days 'Auroras, also known as the northern or southern lights, are colorful and dynamic displays that glow in the night sky,' the NASA website reads. 'Auroras occur in an upper layer of Earth's atmosphere called the ionosphere, but they typically originate with activity on the sun. Occasionally, during explosions called coronal mass ejections, the sun releases charged particles that speed across the solar system.' The best regions for viewing tonight's aurora borealis are highlighted in a map provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Trump's book bans hurt the chances for reparations
'We are in a moment of anti-Blackness on steroids, and we refuse to be silent,' Pressley said earlier this month during a press conference at the US Capitol. 'We will not back down in our pursuit of racial justice,' she added. 'The antidote to anti-Blackness is to be pro-Black, and we will do it unapologetically. The United States government owes us a debt, and we need reparations now.' A large majority of Black Americans agree with Pressley. Nearly 3 in 4 Black adults support reparations, according to a 2024 Advertisement But the percentage of Americans of other races and ethnicities who back the idea is low. Less than half of Hispanic (47 percent) and Asian American (45 percent) respondents are in favor of reparations. And only about a third (34 percent) of white adults surveyed back the idea. Only 36 percent of Americans overall back the idea, according to The reasons for this vary. Some of it may be rooted in prejudice and bias. After all, Japanese Americans received Advertisement But some of the opposition to reparations is rooted in ignorance. As communities prepare to commemorate the ending of slavery later this month on Juneteenth, the majority of Americans finish high school knowing very little about just how atrocious slavery was. Only 8 percent of high school seniors were able to identify slavery as the central cause of the Civil War, according to a 2018 Southern Poverty Law Center And in 2017, There are long-term consequences for this knowledge gap. Just 1 in 4 adults (24 percent) strongly agree that the legacies of slavery affect the position of Black people in American society today, according to the Princeton survey. And America's ignorance about slavery is likely to become more widespread given that support for book bans has reached the federal level. In an executive order aimed at preventing students from reading books that introduce ideas about privilege and oppression and their relationship to race, President Trump accused schools that teach students books like Advertisement 'Such an environment operates as an echo chamber, in which students are forced to accept these ideologies without question or critical examination,' he It's understandable why Trump, who made white grievance a foundational part of his presidential campaign, believes his effort to silence authors is popular. His return to the White House is largely viewed as confirmation of many Americans' rightward shift — even on matters of race — since the summer of 2020, when people filled the streets across the country to protest anti-Black racism after the police killing of George Floyd. Most Americans But Trump is misguided. Americans may not be in favor of what they consider preferential treatment based on race. But they are not fans of banning books — including those that aim to make a case for the need for that preferential treatment. Two-thirds of Americans oppose efforts to restrict books in public schools, according to a 2024 Knight Foundation While former vice president Kamala Harris was unsuccessful in her attempt to keep Trump from returning to the White House, she seemed much more in line with where most Americans are when it comes to learning about this country's history. Advertisement 'We just need to speak truth about history. In spite of the fact that some people try and erase history and try and teach our children otherwise,' Harris 'We need to speak truth about it in a way that is about driving solutions,' added Harris, who as a senator cosponsored the bill that Pressley recently reintroduced.
