A black delivery driver was told by his manager that he would not be making a delivery because the customer had said she only wanted a white driver in her house.

Marcus Bradley, an African American, who has worked for Lowe's Home Improvement for the last 11 years, was left devastated after his manager complied with the customer's outrageous wish.

The shocking incident reportedly happened in the city of Danville, situated in the US state of Virginia.

Strangely enough, I am a registered nurse that is required by oath to care for every patient that is assigned to me, even a$$holes.

I know a few doctors who have gently directed (former) patients to other practices. (”I really can’t do anything more for you.”) As a nurse, you have fewer options, unfortunately.

If there is Black Priveledge going around, no one told my working class family growing up and I am working much too hard on my 12hour shifts at the hospital.

True dat. I just don’t like firing people, and I wasn’t there. So, maybe there was something I/we don’t know about it that would mitigate the situation.

no but i know how stupid you are

Not everything has to be national news. Yes the woman is a racist asshole and the black driver should to be defended, but his job is product deliveries.

No one needed to know anything, just put the package in a different truck. I certainly would not TELL a black driver “hey - she does not want your kind”.

Stupid people exist all over. You marginalize them best by ignoring them.

MY one and only point is that this did not have to go public. Ignore the stupid woman and go on.

You are allowed to disagree with me, but I would not call you stupid for your opinion (only for calling me stupid, stupid)

What would I personally do (in both cases) is tell the dumb lady that she has to take the driver that comes and that is all there is to it

And then I DON’T report it to the media

Or as I used to say to my kids, “You get what you get and you don’t throw a fit.”

No kidding. I used to manage the support dept of a national department store location in north suburban (white) Atlanta. Every furniture delivery driver/worker we had was black.

I was surprised to find out that (this lady believes) you can request a certain 'color' of driver.

I have made them stand outside the window, telling me what buttons to push, etc, rather then letting them inside.

I bet they didn't argue with you very much about not being let in.

So... how's the boa you rescued doing ?

The alleged customer looks black herself.

Gives her standing.
