*A white Colorado woman in blackface was caught on video ranting in a Target store about “whiteface” and Pride Month, and later surfaced in a selfie video inside of a Starbucks wearing Donald Trump campaign stickers plastered on her shirt.
In video obtained by TMZ, fired postal worker Esrilla Campbell showed up at an Aurora Target store with her face slathered in brown makeup earlier this week. After an employee confronted her about the offensive face paint, she retorted: “Lester Holt did ‘whiteface’ and nobody said s–t.”
She was referencing the Black “NBC Nightly News” anchor dressing up as British singer Susan Boyle for an episode of the “Today” show over 10 years ago.
Campbell also demanded to see Target’s Pride section, but was informed by employees that Pride Month ended in June.
“Oh, I thought they were celebrating this and they took our flag forever, no?” Campbell replied, apparently referring to LGBTQIA+ Pride’s signature rainbow flag.
“My bad,” she continued while exiting the store. “I don’t shop at Target.”

But the racism didn’t stop there. Later that day, Campbell shared a selfie video from a local Starbucks. She was still in blackface, but now wearing Donald Trump campaign stickers on her Mickey Mouse shirt.
“I never treat myself to Starbucks since the post office got rid of me,” she said.
“Trump is coming … I’m showing my titties,” she joked, leaning back to show off the two Trump stickers.
TMZ reported that Campbell’s LinkedIn page lists her as an operations supervisor at the United State Postal Service, but she was fired in February. In the Starbucks video, however, she mentions being on her “way to the post office for a job.”
“They will never recognize my picture now,” she laughs, referring to the blackface.

A photo obtained by TMZ shows that the USPS, on Tuesday (Aug. 1), distributed a bulletin to current employees that identified Campbell as a trespasser. It urged staff to alert the Postal Inspection Service if she returned.
Campbell’s post that preceded her Target and Starbucks rants also popped up online, where she mentions “a thug” triggering her at the post office that morning, and that going out in public wearing blackface will draw the FBI’s attention and he can ask them for a job. Watch below:
