Black American FedEx driver on being told that there are certain towns (sundown) that she can't deliver to in 2024.

We need a national database for sundown towns in this country

There are parts of NJ that a brother can't be out past a certain time or the police encourage you to 'leave'

....rural Pennsylvania too

I though Black people were told if you don't vote America is going to become more racist.

There are sundown towns all over and every state, and it does not matter if the state is a Blue state or Red State.

Black people really have to learn to stop saying “I can’t deliver in certain towns because I’m black” No, it’s not because you’re black, it’s because white people are hateful and prejudiced

I like this, this should be the standard way of highlighting racist behavior

We do have Black sundown towns, they just operate like the cac ones and only target other Black people

This hurt!

Had a few service calls in Forsyth County early in my career. Boss said “be careful up there, try to be done before dark” and gave me that look. I saw all those lil red figurines with the painted black face n hands, rebel flags etc. Yes they exist and the people look at u wild hateful.
Crazy bc they live like animals with no home training

She keep saying it's 2024 like racism just went away.

Appreciate it breh, hold the rep

 

[Black Hans]

Why would FedEx even offer black drivers to deliver to those areas, though?

Something is off. Did she want to do overtime or work a certain shift?

It's almost like voting blue no matter who changed what this country really is... shyt hasnt changed no matter how you voted...
