Black FedEx worker gets called a racial slur. |
I mean they've fired two Black workers after they were threatened with police interaction after a white man threatened to fight them.
Now a Black FedEx worker from Ohio is sharing his story about how delivering in rural America can be very dangerous for people of color. Brandon Brackins shares his story and he warns America that racism is alive in the Buckeye state.
Tearfully gets N-tapped by a white guy. It left him in tears and rage.
He was so shaken he could hardly muster the strength to continue with his work.
"What the fuck is the point of all this protest shit if it don't work?" Brackins said. "And as I'm getting the package out the back of the truck some fucking hick speeds around me - damn near hit me - calls me a NIGGER and spits on me."
"I want to bury somebody right now! Why so much hate? Why? Almost him me. Call me a NIGGER and then spit on me. Spit on me? Really? Wow. Just wow," said Brackins.
He said the man was a white male aged 50-65 bald; wearing glasses and had scruffy hair.
He said that he was driving a Ford Escape.
The village of Lisbon is located in Columbiana County. It's population is 3,000 residents. It is 45 miles from Youngstown.
Lisbon Police chief Mike Abraham is taking his concerns seriously.
FedEx also said that they're supporting their drivers and will continue to promote diversity within its company.
Hundreds of people have also commented, showing their support for Brackins.
"I appreciate all y'all. I really do."
Tearfully responding to racism in the country. |
We reached out to FedEx about the situation and they said, in part, quote, "We are both saddened and outraged… This type of behavior has no place in society, and our first concern is for our team member. We are staying connected offering our support. At FedEx, our workforce is as diverse as the world we serve, and we believe that everyone deserves respect."
Lisbon Mayor Peter Wilson confirmed that a police report was filed and an investigation is underway.
"I think it's a lot worse than a lot of people think. It's a lot worse… Racism is alive."
We also reached out to Brackins, who gave us permission to use some of his video, but he was too busy at the moment to talk about it.
The Columbiana County boys are investigating the matter. If this story turns out to be true, the suspect could be charged with a state issued hate crime and felonious assault. If the person is caught he could face state misdemeanor charges. If he is tested positive for COVID-19, he could face felony charges. The U.S. Justice Department said that any deliberately trying to spread COVID-19 could be facing domestic terrorism charges.
The suspect is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
"I'm so fucking angry. Oh my God. This shit sucks."
You may have heard of the white men in New Jersey mocking the George Floyd incident by placing his knee on a person neck. James (Jim) and Joseph (Joe) DeMarco were named as the two men acting like a bunch of idiots.
Yesterday I posted a video of a Trump supporter in Franklinville, NJ mocking the death of George Floyd by kneeling on his friend during the protests. Today I have this photo. Does anyone know this man? Let's make it go viral. pic.twitter.com/wNpjAsOkmy— Mrs. Krassenstein (@HKrassenstein) June 9, 2020
Trump supporters are disgusting. These Franklinville, NJ Trump supporters mockingly re-enacted the George Floyd murder. This needs to go viral! Who is this man? pic.twitter.com/xOOV2F7yNs— Mrs. Krassenstein (@HKrassenstein) June 8, 2020
Racism exist in the country. These Kevins and Karens are dangerous to the public.
Jim was promptly fired from FedEx and Joe is placed in the freezer by the New Jersey Department of Corrections.
The two assholes were mocking the fatal encounter between the police and George Floyd. The two were acting out the infamous neck move.
