Nancy Goodman Bio, Wiki

Nancy Goodman is a 71-year-old woman from North Carolina. She is in the public spotlight for confronting a group of girlfriends dining at a Raleigh, North Carolina restaurant bar whom she said were being too loud and rude. As she was being recorded by one of the women, Goodman came over and called her a “stupid n****r.”

Goodman, who studied at the Pan American Business School, worked as an administrative clerk for the North Carolina General Assembly for nearly two decades and is apparently now retired as per her LinkedIn profile, . Her now scrubbed Facebook page showed she is originally from Virginia and lives in Raleigh.

Goodman was asked by a reporter if she knew how offensive the racial slur is and she answered, “Yes, I do, that’s why I said it.” Goodman later told local TV news she’d say it again. The three women who were dining together are African-American.

Chanda Stewart says she began recording because she was incredulous that Goodman would approach the group.

“I am shocked because this person has the audacity to come to our table and tell us we are the rudest people that she has ever met,” Stewart says as she records Goodman who is standing near the bar and waving, gesturing and laughing. Goodman then takes out her own phone and walks toward the woman’s table with her phone up as to record them.

As she approaches the table she says, “I have some really good friends who are black and I love them,” she says with her phone recording.

“We never said anything about color,” one woman says as Goodman is heard saying her black friends would never “act like that,” apparently meaning being too loud. “You’re too loud.”

“In your opinion. Let me show you my money. It’s just as green as yours.”

Goodman says, “Why are you so stupid ‘n******?”

The three women who are stunned by the remarks then ask her; “Call your black friends n****r? You call your black friends n****r?”

Goodman shakes her head: “They’re not like you.”

Chanda Stewart Facebook Post

In her Facebook video caption, Stewart wrote:

“So this happened today. What was supposed to be dinner with my girlfriends ended up in us being called stupid n***r? The climate of the country today has some people thinking whatever they feel….they can say. The reality is if we were to retaliate with this same kind of hate and ignorance we would be called ‘angry black women.’

As I prepare my child for the real world these are some of the people I prepare her for. The hateful, prejudiced, racists who think we should all “go back to where we came from.”

Hopefully, this idiot is not your coworker, neighbor, or friend. If so….what will you do with this information??

Stewart Wrote another Facebook post saying ‘I Have Never in My 43 Years of Living Been Called a N****r’. She thanked everyone who has shared the post ” The love and support has been more than we could have ever imagined or asked for.” She concluded her post by saying: “This is not the end of this story believe me. ❤️”

Nancy Goodman in an Interview Said she would use the Racial Slur Again

Speaking In an interview with WRAL, Goodman said, “I’m not going to say I’m sorry to them because they kept pushing at it,” she said. “I would say it again to them. They are the rudest individuals I have ever seen.” She also told a reporter that she should have asked restaurant management to tell the women to “quiet down,” but said she “it was out of my control to calm down my anxiety.”

In a Facebook post shared with her friends, as reported by WRAL as her Facebook is set to private, Goodman wrote:

“Tonight on WRAL TV news there will be a news article about me using the N-word in conflict with three rude, loud, obnoxious black women. I would like to apologize to my family, friends and other patrons at the bar at North Hills Bonefish. The TV reporters came to my house today as they found out my name which that could only happen if the restaurant gave them my information. The women taped me and apparently shared the video all over social media. I suffer from extreme anxiety which is not an excuse. I am ashamed of my actions.”
