A white woman in North Carolina who was caught on camera berating her black neighbor in a racist rant is now facing charges over the ordeal, police said.

Susan Westwood, 51, of Charlotte, was charged Saturday with misusing 911, communicating threats and simple assault in connection to her viral tirade at the Camden Fairview apartment complex on Oct. 19, Charlotte-Mecklenburg police told the Charlotte Observer.

The incident already cost Westwood her $125,000-a-year job as a senior business intelligence analyst and market researcher for Spectrum Enterprise in greater Charlotte.

Westwood — who appeared to be drunk at the time — berated a black neighbor and the woman’s sister as they waited for AAA over a car that broke down. But Westwood wasn’t satisfied with the woman’s response, sending her into a racist tirade toward the women.

“OK, so what are you asking me? Do I need to call the police?” Westwood’s neighbor asked. “Because I feel threatened.”

“OK, well we can do that,” Westwood replied. “Hi, how are you? I’m hot, I’m beautiful, I’m 51. What are we going to talk about tonight? Being hot, being beautiful, being white? Being — my new weave? Do you, do you live here?”

Westwood also asked the women if they were visiting their “baby daddy” and repeatedly referenced her race during the bizarre incident.

“I’m white and I make $125,000 a year and I want to make sure that you’re all up in here,” Westwood says. “Girl, girl, I got you, girl, I’m white, girl, I’m white!”

Westwood continued: “Bitch, I’m still gonna make $125,000 Monday morning. Who are you? Do you live here? Is your boyfriend here? Is your baby daddy here?”

At another point, Westwood asked the women, whom she accused of trying to break into apartments, if she needed to “bring out” her concealed weapon.

“This is North Carolina, by the way,” Westwood said, according to a 911 tape released by police.

Westwood also offered a police dispatcher $2,500 to “get them out here,” according to the recording.

“They’ve been hanging out here for a while,” Westwood told police. “And they’ve been photographing me … But they’ve been going into that apartment. It’s just really strange.”

A spokesman for Charter Communications, which bought Time Warner and later changed its name to Spectrum, confirmed to The Post last month that Westwood was terminated after the incident for a “blatant violation” of the company’s code of conduct.
