this person and I were friends. i texted her letting her know she didn't have to pick me up for work. She called me back a few minuted later, I could tell she was drunk. I asked to come pick her up. She started calling me black bit##. Further into the conversation it turned into black n***** bit##. After several of those i told her I we know have problems when i see her. She hasn't been to work since. I did report her to my supervisor , she then reported to hr, who has contacted me and i have given my statement. What do i need to do next.

It is up to you. I would allow the supervisor to handle your issue. Just be patient.

Pretty much wait and see what happens. If the supervisor returns and you start getting in trouble for things that before your complaint weren't an issue or start getting progressive discipline or worse fired, then you could have a claim for retaliation. If the supervisor comes back and things don't change, my suggestion would be to put it behind your and recognize that the individual made a grave error in judgment by using that type of language, but may not be such a bad person.
