Jamelia was racially abused by police: 'We deserve to feel safe in this country'

'Superstar' songstress Jamelia has revealed that she was racially abused by a police officer.

She posted about the shocking incident on her official Facebook page yesterday shortly after it happened, writing:

"So, This morning I did a bad thing, I overtook someone as I was driving to the train station. I was running late, and in a rush. Not an excuse, it wasn't the right thing to do. I parked up and as my girls and I got out of the car, I noticed the person had followed us, and was shouting "Is there something wrong with you you stupid b!tch, you should have waited!!""

"I replied, "I know, I'm so sorry, i was rushing for the train, my apologies" he then retorted "you lot make me f*cking sick" I said "can you please not swear in front of my children" he replied "Oh f*ck off you stupid black b!tch, you lot are sickening" I replied, "OK, goodbye." He then opened his car door in a rage and said "come here and say that to my face!" and as he stepped out, his car started rolling, thank God. Scared, I grabbed my girls, and more or less ran toward the station & didn't look back. Now, as upset as I am about this interaction, I am mostly disappointed because this man was a POLICE OFFICER."

Jamelia then spoke about her horrendous experience on 'Loose Women' and has now confirmed that she reported the incident, adding on Facebook:

"I URGE you, if you are victim to anything like this, REPORT it! This is 2016, NO-ONE deserves to endure racism on any level. We have voices, we have rights and we deserve to feel safe wherever we are in this country. And as for my girls, well they asked to me to drive them to school this morning, just in case "The Man" was at the train station again."
