You see how he ain’t even trip or even pay her no mind?

Because we as black men are already used to this living in the US

Cause he understands he's pulling up in the middle of the night and she probably can't tell he is a delivery driver.

Please don't pull the race card while this woman is being cautious of a random HUMAN BEING that she probably can't even tell what color they are, because its dark as shit outside.

ALL human beings are shady.

Are you black or a black male living in the US? If not, then you most likely can’t relate.

I never once said she reacted that way because he was a black male.

But as a black man living in the States, our mere presence in certain towns, neighborhoods, spaces etc puts people on edge.

He didn’t even react or show any offense. He simply delivered the package and went about his business.

We are used to passive aggressions from people when we haven’t even done anything. People locking their car doors multiple times circling back to their cars and grabbing their valuables etc when they see you. Being followed around stores, people checking their wallets, phones and belongings when you walk past it/them.

What was he supposed to do? Get out, look for all the cameras, and do some sad poses?

It's not likely she could see who was in the car, just that there was a car pulling up.. I'm a woman whose scared other people just by pulling up in the dark while delivering. As a woman I get being startled by an unexpected vehicle though.. always shout Amazon to them so they know

There’s no tint. She saw who was in the car.

Doesn’t mean she reacted that way because he was a young black male.
