State Representative, Erica Thomas, shares that she was harassed at a grocery store by a white man.

Erica Thomas, a Democratic state representative for Georgia’s 39th district, shares a tearful experience on Facebook Live. She explains that she was nine months pregnant when she went into the grocery store. She had a few items and she went to go stand in the express line waiting to check out. The day was July 19 and a white man showed up in the line and got mad at Thomas for standing in the express line with too many items. She was standing in the express line because she couldn't stand up for very long because she was so pregnant and just needed to get through the line.

The man started harassing her and it broke her heart. He showed up and said, "You lazy son of a bitch, you need to go back where you came from." She was pretty upset and then he went on to tell her that she was "ignorant." She told him to just leave her alone. She was too tired and stunned to talk to him about anything else or to tell him that she is actually a state representative. The man was later identified as Eric Sparks. He told the New York Times that he did call her lazy for standing in the express line instead of going into the line that was for people with a lot of items. However, Sparks said that was the extent of the harassment. He told the Times that Thomas is just trying to play the victim.

Sparks goes on to defend himself by saying, “this woman, Ms. Thomas, is playing the victim for political purposes because she is a state legislator,” Sparkes told WSB-TV. “I’m a Democrat and will vote Democrat for the rest of my life, so call me whatever you want to believe. For her political purposes, make it black, white, brown, whatever. It’s untrue.” He then says that he was raised by a Cuban mother and so he would "never" tell Thomas to "go back to where she came from" because that wouldn't make any sense. The man is a Cuban American. After some pushing, he admitted he did call her a "lazy bitch."

Thomas argues many times that he was lying about what he had said to her, but then her recent Tweet may have shown that Sparks might not have actually said anything about her going back to where she came from. Thomas Tweeted saying, “I don’t wanna say he said go back to your country or go back to where you came from, but he was making those types of references is what I remember." People are now wondering if he ever said anything racist to her at all.  Either way, he should never call a woman a "lazy bitch."
