There is a troubling YouTube video going viral, titled "Jessica Lynn Sanders Chicago Racist," which was uploaded to YouTube on July 31. The video is quickly gaining views -- up to more than 50,000 as of this writing -- because of the shocking content it contains.
Warning: The following "Jessica Lynn Sanders Chicago Racist" YouTube video contains language that might be disturbing to some viewers.
Ernest Crim III describes himself as a teacher in Chicago who fights for social justice.
"Mr. Crim is a teacher in the southwest suburbs of Chicago who is dedicated to social, economic and political justice and health & wellness."
"So, I'm with my wife at the #ChicagoMargaritaFest when we decide to play the Bean Bag Toss game. Our section didn't have any bean bags so we retrieved one that was tossed far by a group of four next to us that had at least 10 to themselves.""One lady in that group (a white lady) called me and my wife a "n*****." Additionally, she proceeded to spit on my wife in an effort to provoke us to assault her. This is America in 2016. This is why I'm angry."
"Thankfully, security immediately grabbed her, handcuffed her and threw her out. However, we don't know her name and we want to press charges. #PleaseShare #BeingBlack #ChicagoMargaritaFest"
"EDIT: Thanks to YOU I found out her identity. Thank you."

Meanwhile, Crim has been keeping people updated about the situation on Twitter, as can be seen in one of the following tweets. Ernest wrote about how traumatizing the incident was for him and his wife. Crim also wrote about his own amazing restraint in the face of such blatant hate.
In the video, Crim wonders aloud what would happen if he had hit Jessica. That's when Sanders lobbed more N-words at him.
"You're a n*****, if you hit me, you're a n*****. You're acting like a n*****."
Crim said Jessica tried to call security on him and his wife, but -- as reported by Mic -- Chicago Police revealed that Jessica was the person that security kicked out of the festival.
Sanders had a battery report filed against her by Ernest and Cassie. Crim is hoping Jessica will be arrested.
