Bank of America worker Christine McMullen Lindgren has been fired after posting a vile racist rant on Facebook

A Bank of America worker has been fired after posting a vile racist rant on Facebook.

Christine McMullen Lindgren, who works at a branch in Atlanta, Georgia, said 'f***ing n*****s' should 'go back to Africa' in her offensive online tirade.

'I hate Facebook for this reason you f***ing n****rs. And yes, if [you] can call each that well I can too.

'F***ing n****r go back to Africa. Get over your pity party. You created this hatred and your own kind that brought your great-great-parents [sic] over here and sold them.

'Do something with your lives and your children's lives. I'm sure you don't work, collect welfare and teach hatred.

'Your poor children. All five of them you can't afford because I pay for them.'

It is not clear who Lindgren, 57, was specifically aiming the sickening abuse at.

Another Facebook user noticed that the woman worked for Bank of America and contacted her employers.

Thousands more took to the bank's Facebook page and phone lines to inform them of their worker's racist message.

Just hours later, the bank fired her.
