Wow! A Colorado woman is going viral after being filmed dressing up in blackface and then going on a rant and terrorizing people in Target and Starbucks. She’s since been taken into protective custody.

The woman has been identified as Ersilia Campbell, a former postal worker. It is reported that Campbell walked into an Aurora, Colorado Target store and immediately began terrorizing people, targeting customers and a store employee, demanding that they tell her where to find the LGBTQIA+ Pride section in the store.
The confrontation was filmed on a cellphone and shows the moment Campbell asks about the section while wearing brown makeup or paint all over her face, leaving her eyebrows, eyes, nostrils, mouth and neck untouched.
As the clip begins, the Colorado woman is standing opposite two people, a man and a woman, who are at a self-checkout register. As the man holding the camera laughs at her ridiculous look and behavior, the woman standing next to the cameraman tells Campbell she’s “a horrible person.” The camera then stabilizes and captures the terrorizer holding a smirk on her face and telling the woman that she is the “horrible person.”
The cameraman then interjects and condemns her, claiming, “You’re literally doing blackface in the middle of the store.” Campbell fired back, “Yeah. Lester Holt did whiteface and nobody said sh*t.” Then she moves out towards the shopping aisles, spotting a Target employee, and yells, “Where’s your Pride section?! I need to know!!”
Someone yells back at her, “We’re past..” Walking away and seemingly towards an exit of the store, Campbell interjects and suggests that the LGBTQIA+ community had hijacked the American flag and American patriotism with the Pride flag.
She sarcastically shouts, “Oh, I thought they were celebrating this and they took our flag forever, no?! I was wrong. My bad. I don’t shop at Target.” As she continues fast-walking out of the store, Campbell yells at others standing by, “Let’s just take pictures. Join me. Post it on my Facebook, please. My Facebook friends love it.”
Campbell continued her rant at a Starbucks, where she showed off several stickers in support of former President Donald Trump. Taking things into her own hands now, Campbell used her phone to begin live streaming herself on Facebook, while inside the coffee store.
After adjusting the camera, she smiled and said, “Hey Facebook! I’m looking for a job today. I’m at Starbucks, I never treat myself to Starbucks since the post office got rid of me. I barely treated myself to Starbucks when I was working there. I couldn’t afford it.”
While angling the camera down to show off her Micky Mouse and Pluto t-shirt with Trump-Pence stickers on it, she then tells her viewers, “Trump is coming. I’m showing my t*tties. I have somebody across from me that’s showing his too. I’ll post his picture later. It’s hilarious. You guys gotta see this. Anyway, wish me luck. I’m going to the post office for a job. They will never recognize my picture now. They can put me on the FBI wanted list.”
She then tells her viewers to “Have a good day,” before adding that it’s going to be “a candid camera, lights, camera, action” type of day, again stating and laughing, “They’ll never recognize me.”
Apparently, prior to terrorizing people and going on unhinged rants, Campbell was fired from the post office back in February. While the cause for termination is not quite clear, she must have done something pretty unforgivable because there was a trespassing notice posted on Tuesday (August 1), alerting employees to call the Postal Inspection Service if she ever showed up on the premises again.
Following her firing, she also took to social media to drag her former co-workers, calling them “Some of the loneliest, miserable, trashiest, lazy people in my life.”
Also, during her rant the Colorado woman mentioned Lester Holt, claiming he did “whiteface, and nobody did sh*t.” She was referencing the viral moment in October 2018 when the Black journalist and NBC news anchor dressed up as British pop singer and YouTube sensation Susan Boyle. Holt has an African American father and mother of Jamaican descent.
