Lorena Delaguna Threw A Glass Bottle In African American girl on August 17th, 2020.
An African American woman was out for an afternoon run August 17 at Woodside, the 53-year-old Queens girl Lorena threw a glass bottle at her and the bottle shattered close to the jogger and splashed liquid .
Afterwards, she even yelled and cursed in the girl,"telling her to get out of here and return to Africa and calling her the N-word," the statement said.
Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz stated,"No one should have to endure being called a vile slur or being attacked simply due to the colour of their skin, their faith, or who they love."
Furthermore, from the video Tiffany Johnson went for a jog in Woodside, Queens, she composed on Facebook about the harassment by Lorena.
Tiffany Johnson Wrote on Facebook and Claimed She Was Harassed From Delaguna Because She Was Black.
On Facebook, she wrote"*UPDATE* This woman is in police custody and billed are filed for a hate crime. I had been assaulted by a racist with a glass bottle. Racism is really real and alive in a diverse area like Astoria/Woodside Queens, NY. The haters are real. My freedom, my time, my humankind things, my body matters. I hope this helps to increase awareness of a real matter. #runningwhileblack or doing ANYTHING while black.
This incident occurred to me while I was running in 98-degree weather minding my company. I'd no thought someone was filming it literally surfaced 1 month after and is now viral on the internet. I filed a police report. At the moment her hair was blonde and brief but she may have changed it since then.
As a black woman I'm always attentive bc I know that the colour of my skin is tripping for certain men and women.
At the time that I felt it had been race-related, but looking back at this video is 100% verification of a hate crime. I'm glad that I walked off because my freedom and timing are my commodities. This is the planet that we live in.
Racism is being perceived as a threat due to the colour of my skin. I dont feel pain the same way and am different somehow, therefore it is permissible to hunt, threaten and or use excess force to find a simple result. That whether running or bbq or walking at a hoodie, somehow a human being whose skin color is more brown is a threat, therefore force and violence are fine. And however, we respond in response is somehow problematic. I'm posting this video to bring awareness. Bc, it seems that message got lost.... As per usual.
