Personally, I don't think her rant was racist, but I guess her employer still thought that in her position, she took her free speech rights too far.
BTW, she really believed that the Obamas flew their dog on a separate airplane? How in the hell did she make VP of a bank...in charge of loan operations?

Some media is reporting she was a senior officer in charge of loan operations. Her LinkedIn Profile shows her as VP- Imaging, whatever that job title means to this bank.
Regions Bank is a big deal in Alabama and other Southern states with nearly 2000 branches. They likely have hundreds of VPs. It's not a senior position.
Regardless, she is an officer of a publicly- traded corporation and chose to have herself a public rant on Social Media.
People believe anything when it seems to validate their perceptions. No shortage of people who believe Obama was not born in the US, is Muslim, a Communist, a Fasist, a Socialist, a Hawk, a Dove, a crook and flies his dog around the country on its own flight. They read it all on the internet so it must be true.

Just for clarification, the dog did travel on a seperate plane that is funded by taxpayers. The Obamas were on one plane with staff and the dog was on another plane with staff.
If she stated the dog was flown on another plane, that statement was accurate.
Not racist, just stupid. And again, I know a lot of people who voted for Trump who also believe whatever BS they hear on the internet or talk radio about the Obama's. There is a certain racial element to the extent of the lies they believe..I doubt such hyperbole would be given much time if Obama weren't black and had a weird name.

If Hillary were black, every time someone called her a liar and/or criminal, people like you would say it was racism and due to her being black.
I'm surprised OP didn't find this racist. I did. "Buying and selling" a person clearly refers to black slavery.
Sounds to me like the woman was drunk. Still she should be fired, not so much for what she said as for being stupid enough to post it non-anonymously on the internet after all we've seen of what happens when you do that.
