A video that’s gone viral this week shows a white woman who’s been dubbed “Crosswalk Cathy” yelling racist slurs at a Black man in Scottsdale, Arizona.

The man, John Andrew Taylor, filmed the woman as she walked across the street and then down a path hurling racist remarks, according to the Phoenix New Times. In the video, the woman can be heard yelling, “You motherfucker. Go for it you fucking [N-word] piece of shit.”

Taylor uploaded the clip to Instagram on Sunday, and by Monday it had made the front page of Reddit. He told the Phoenix New Times he had just dropped off his sister when he encountered the woman. He said she yelled “Fuck you, you [N-word]” and “You heard me, you fucking [N-word]” before he started recording.

“I was shocked,” Taylor told the news outlet. “I have never in my life had someone had the gumption and the audacity to come out and say something like this. Not directly to my face, at least.”

Taylor stayed completely calm even as the woman continued shouting the N-word at him. The video shows her yelling, “You’re supposed to be in Oakland,” at one point and that “Tupac is dead” at another.

“I killed him,” the woman says, apparently about Tupac. “I put a bullet through the fucker’s head.”

Taylor replies calmly, “Did you?”

“I sure did,” the woman says. “He is a dead fucking [N-word]. He is an ugly fucking homosexual rapist fucking [N-word]. Just like you, fucker.”

The video ends with Taylor laughing and turning the camera to face himself. “And that’s how you make someone famous,” he says.
