Pictures of Christal Crowe, a McLaren Oakland Hospital nurse, wearing blackface for Halloween last year, are now doing rounds on the internet, prompting netizens to slam the hospital for not registering any complaint against her. In the viral images, Christal can be seen posing for a photo in blackface, alongside her husband.
For the uninitiated, wearing blackface refers to the practice of non-black individuals using makeup or other means to darken their skin in order to portray or imitate black people.
A social media user, @rx0rcist, who goes by Savannah, shared a video in which she pointed out the racist move.
In the video, Savannah also shared that Christal is facing several criminal charges, but the hospital where she works has not taken any action against her. She added that when the incident was reported to HR at McLaren Hospital, they responded by saying that since it was Christal's husband who posted these pictures, they can't do anything about it.
The video also claimed that Christal got caught back in 2009 for allegedly calling in fraudulent Vicodin prescriptions for herself and her then-husband. Later, she was criminally convicted for this.
