Man blocks black delivery driver in Oklahoma neighborhood

[Missourian]

BULLSHIT! LIPSTICK!

Grrrr. Did You shake your fist add you posted that?

So...why didn't he call the police? I had a guy who would move blocking me from making a turn...refused to back up...and I couldn't back up. I have it on video. I called the cops. In 15 minutes they showed up and made him back up. No big deal. The guy was a dick but I wasn't going to just sit there and I couldn't force him to move. Same deal here. So why didn't he call the police?

 

[Missourian]

I am sure he was 'delivering' something...grand theft probably.

No racism here, folks.

What? If a black comes into your neighborhood that you don't recognize and you are not suspicious...you are an idiot.

Racism here though.

The race card...accepting in empty liberal heads everywhere.

Intimidated? Doesn't trust cops?
I don't know. He should have!
Especially since he was blocked.

Why did the dimwit use his private car to block him?

It's a private street. Just like I can block you in my driveway if I don't know why you're there or what you're doing. I can legally stand next to your bumper and keep you from moving...and if you push me in person or with your vehicle...you are the one who has committed a crime.

Weird how the law works.

Oklahoma is the Sooner State.They would sooner see the black guy keep his ass out.

The public has access to HOA roads. So public law applies to HOA roads except for one, and only one difference. And that is parking. Just like a private business can set rules on parking as long as they post signs, violaters will be towed, no parking signs, etc.

The public doesn't have access to a gated community. It is private road...like a really long driveway.

The police can come...just like they can come to my driveway...but just like you relinquish rights...such as the right to bear arms...on private property...a private individual can stop you from leaving and question you...similar to shopkeepers privilege in those private parking lots.

Wrong. Gate or no gate, the HOA roads are connected to public ones that access them.
That's why a drunk driver can be charged with a DUI on HOA roads, grasshopper.

Another one to file under "working while black"

"My intention was never to go viral," Travis Miller said. "My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did."

A black delivery driver was brought to tears while recording himself and a black co-worker as they were blocked from leaving a gated Oklahoma City neighborhood for nearly an hour by a white resident who demanded to know why they were there.
Travis Miller, who delivers home appliances and furniture, captured the incident Monday in a Facebook Live video that has gone viral. The 37-minute video had nearly 300,000 views by Thursday evening and had been shared more than 10,000 times.

Miller, like many of those who commented on the video, believe the encounter was racially motivated.

Miller, 42, told NBC News that his customer in Edmond gave him the code to get through the neighborhood's gate. After completing the delivery and as they were trying to exit, a man who identified himself as David Stewart and a board member of the homeowners' association can be seen on the video questioning Miller and his co-worker about why they were on his street.
A man by that name could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Miller said in the video that he was trying to make a U-turn and that as he turned around, the man was blocking him in with a white Subaru.

"If I go around him, I'm going to have to drive on somebody's property and I don't want to make a bad situation worse," Miller said in the video.

Miller repeatedly asked the man to move the car.

"I'm not moving," the man said. "All you have to do is tell me where you're going."

Miller refused, saying he did not have to tell the man anything.

Miller said Thursday that he kept his seat belt on, remained in the truck and recorded the encounter to protect himself and his colleague.

"My intention was never to go viral," Miller said in a phone interview Thursday. "My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did."

He said he also did not want the situation to escalate, because he feared that if police had responded, he would have been perceived as the aggressor.

About 30 minutes into the encounter, a second white man confronted Miller.

"All we want to know is why you're in here and who gave you the gate code," the second man said. "That's all we need to know."

After Miller refused to reveal his client's personal information, the man who identified himself as Stewart said he was calling police.

At one point in the video, Miller can be seen with tears streaming down his face. He wipes his tears away with a blue bandanna before he, too, calls police.

The man who initially approached Miller can be seen in the video calling police to withdraw a report after he got in touch with Miller's customer.

Miller said he also called Edmond police to make sure the man had withdrawn his report.

Miller said his customer defused the situation by telling the two men to move.

"He said he was sorry it happened," Miller said. "He said those guys are overprotective of the neighborhood."

Capt. Larry Withrow of the Oklahoma City Police Department said Friday that officers did not go to the scene because the original caller who reported that "there was a trespasser in the subdivision" at 4:21 p.m. called back about 30 minutes later and cancelled the report. Withrow said a third call was placed at about 4:55 p.m. by a man who said he wanted to know if it was OK for him to leave the property.

Man blocks black delivery driver in an Oklahoma neighborhood

Wow.

He was just doing his job.

What makes those men think they had any authority to demand such information from him?

What makes those men think that they own public streets?

If I was that man driving that truck, I would sue those men who blocked their truck. They had absolutely no authority to do what they did.

Unfortunately for us far too many white people with a racist bent still believe they're entitled to practice the societal normals of earlier centuries particularly stopping black people and demanding to know who they are, why they're where they are, etc. Same thing the police do

Typical slave codes
There are many similarities between the various slave codes. The most common elements are:

• Movement Restrictions: Most regions required any slaves away from their plantations or outside of the cities they resided in to have a pass signed by their master. Many cities in the slave-states required slave-tags, small copper badges that enslaved people wore, to show that they were allowed to move about.[4]
• Marriage Restrictions: Most places restricted the marriage rights of enslaved people, ostensibly to prevent them from trying to change masters by marrying into a family on another plantation.[5] Marriage between people of different races was also usually restricted.
• Prohibitions on Gathering: Slave codes generally prevented large groups of enslaved people from gathering away from their plantations.
• Slave Patrols: In the slave-dependent portions of North America, varying degrees of legal authority backed patrols by plantation owners and other free whites to ensure that enslaved people were not free to move about at night, and to generally enforce the restrictions on slaves.[6]
• Trade and Commerce by Slaves: Initially, most places gave enslaved people some land to work personally and allowed them to operate their markets. As slavery became more profitable, slave codes restricting the rights of enslaved people to buy, sell, and produce goods were introduced.[7] In some places, slave tags were required to be worn by enslaved people to prove that they were allowed to participate in certain types of work.[8]
• Punishment and Killing of Slaves: Slave codes regulated how slaves could be punished, usually going so far as to apply no penalty for accidentally killing a slave while punishing them.[9] Later laws began to apply restrictions on this, but slave-owners were still rarely punished for killing their slaves.[10] Historian Lawrence M. Friedman wrote: "Ten Southern codes made it a crime to mistreat a slave.... Under the Louisiana Civil Code of 1825 (art. 192), if a master was ′convicted of cruel treatment,′ the judge could order the sale of the mistreated slave, presumably to a better master."[11]
• Education Restrictions: Some codes made it illegal to teach slaves to read.[12]

It wasn't that this guy was black, it was that he was inside the gate of a Gated Community and was not a resident.

It was because he was black.

This is obvious racism, plain and simple..

Many cities in the slave-states required slave-tags, small copper badges that enslaved people wore, to show that they were allowed to move about.[4]
• Marriage Restrictions: Most places restricted the marriage rights of enslaved people, ostensibly to prevent them from trying to change masters by marrying into a family on another plantation.[5] Marriage between people of different races was also usually restricted.
• Prohibitions on Gathering: Slave codes generally prevented large groups of enslaved people from gathering away from their plantations.
• Slave Patrols: In the slave-dependent portions of North America, varying degrees of legal authority backed patrols by plantation owners and other free whites to ensure that enslaved people were not free to move about at night, and to generally enforce the restrictions on slaves.[6]
• Trade and Commerce by Slaves: Initially, most places gave enslaved people some land to work personally and allowed them to operate their markets. As slavery became more profitable, slave codes restricting the rights of enslaved people to buy, sell, and produce goods were introduced.[7] In some places, slave tags were required to be worn by enslaved people to prove that they were allowed to participate in certain types of work.[8]
• Punishment and Killing of Slaves: Slave codes regulated how slaves could be punished, usually going so far as to apply no penalty for accidentally killing a slave while punishing them.[9] Later laws began to apply restrictions on this, but slave-owners were still rarely punished for killing their slaves.[10] Historian Lawrence M. Friedman wrote: "Ten Southern codes made it a crime to mistreat a slave.... Under the Louisiana Civil Code of 1825 (art. 192), if a master was ′convicted of cruel treatment,′ the judge could order the sale of the mistreated slave, presumably to a better master."[11]
• Education Restrictions: Some codes made it illegal to teach slaves to read.[12]

It wasn't that this guy was black, it was that he was inside the gate of a Gated Community and was not a resident.

It was because he was black.

Maybe it was because he was a black racist? After all, if he had recognized the authority of the HOA Honky, and just told him the information he had to have, he would have been on his way.

As your critical thinking skills are sub-par and logical reasoning is lost on you...I took the time to research typical gated HOA rules...

Speaking of sub par thinking and logical reasoning skills, from the man who claimed Oklahoma is not home
to racists, you have provided some documentation from one single HOA and pretend, or are stupid enough
to think, this extends to all HOAs throughout the nation.

I'm telling you from personal experience that as a driver I was given codes to private home
owners complexes that got me in such gated communities and it's stupid as hell to think someone was always there to watch me go in and back out of these places. They weren't. You're a fool.

Another one to file under "working while black"

"My intention was never to go viral," Travis Miller said. "My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did."

A black delivery driver was brought to tears while recording himself and a black co-worker as they were blocked from leaving a gated Oklahoma City neighborhood for nearly an hour by a white resident who demanded to know why they were there.
Travis Miller, who delivers home appliances and furniture, captured the incident Monday in a Facebook Live video that has gone viral. The 37-minute video had nearly 300,000 views by Thursday evening and had been shared more than 10,000 times.

Miller, like many of those who commented on the video, believe the encounter was racially motivated.

Miller, 42, told NBC News that his customer in Edmond gave him the code to get through the neighborhood's gate. After completing the delivery and as they were trying to exit, a man who identified himself as David Stewart and a board member of the homeowners' association can be seen on the video questioning Miller and his co-worker about why they were on his street.
A man by that name could not be reached for comment Thursday.

Miller said in the video that he was trying to make a U-turn and that as he turned around, the man was blocking him in with a white Subaru.

"If I go around him, I'm going to have to drive on somebody's property and I don't want to make a bad situation worse," Miller said in the video.

Miller repeatedly asked the man to move the car.

"I'm not moving," the man said. "All you have to do is tell me where you're going."

Miller refused, saying he did not have to tell the man anything.

Miller said Thursday that he kept his seat belt on, remained in the truck and recorded the encounter to protect himself and his colleague.

"My intention was never to go viral," Miller said in a phone interview Thursday. "My intention was to cover myself in case he called my employer and said I did something other than what I did."

He said he also did not want the situation to escalate, because he feared that if police had responded, he would have been perceived as the aggressor.

About 30 minutes into the encounter, a second white man confronted Miller.

"All we want to know is why you're in here and who gave you the gate code," the second man said. "That's all we need to know."

After Miller refused to reveal his client's personal information, the man who identified himself as Stewart said he was calling police.

At one point in the video, Miller can be seen with tears streaming down his face. He wipes his tears away with a blue bandanna before he, too, calls police.

The man who initially approached Miller can be seen in the video calling police to withdraw a report after he got in touch with Miller's customer.

Miller said he also called Edmond police to make sure the man had withdrawn his report.

Miller said his customer defused the situation by telling the two men to move.

"He said he was sorry it happened," Miller said. "He said those guys are overprotective of the neighborhood."

Capt. Larry Withrow of the Oklahoma City Police Department said Friday that officers did not go to the scene because the original caller who reported that "there was a trespasser in the subdivision" at 4:21 p.m. called back about 30 minutes later and cancelled the report. Withrow said a third call was placed at about 4:55 p.m. by a man who said he wanted to know if it was OK for him to leave the property.

Man blocks black delivery driver in an Oklahoma neighborhood

Man blocks black delivery driver in an Oklahoma neighborhood

Wow.

He was just doing his job.

What makes those men think they had any authority to demand such information from him?

What makes those men think that they own public streets?

If I was that man driving that truck, I would sue those men who blocked their truck. They had absolutely no authority to do what they did.

Unfortunately for us far too many white people with a racist bent still believe they're entitled to practice the societal normals of earlier centuries particularly stopping black people and demanding to know who they are, why they're where they are, etc. Same thing the police do

Why was it so difficult for this delivery man to open his window and calmly tell the HOA gentleman "My name is Mark Miller from Barney's Discount Furniture, and I just delivered a futon to Mr. DeFazio in unit 40. He gave me the security code and that's how he got in, I didn't think it would be a problem, boss man"

This is horrific. It's bad enough when unarmed black people are shot in the streets, but this is the second time police have just walked into someone's home and just shot them for no reason.

I take it you didn't read the thread title or the article.

 

[Levant]

If I was that man driving that truck, I would sue those men who blocked their truck. They had absolutely no authority to do what they did.

Mr. Miller definitely needs to sue and get him one of those nice houses in the gated white neighborhood. And I know which house he should own... No. Not David Stewart's; that's too easy. He needs to sue Stewart and the homeowners association for the money to buy the house right next door to Stewart. Maybe after a decade or two living next to a black family, Mr. Stewart will get over his prejudices.

I live in Oklahoma, though not Oklahoma City. My house has been burglarized once; my cars twice. I also have video of two people trying to break in my house but I scared them off and two others trying to break into my cars but I ran them off. That's a total of 7 actual or attempted break-ins. In every case, the perpetrator was white. Never brown, never black; always white.

It wasn't his right to divulge the name of his customer. And it certainly wasn't his obligation to explain himself. If you drive through a neighborhood, do you have an obligation to stop and explain yourself to everyone who cares to stop you and ask why you're there? You wouldn't do it in a white neighborhood. You wouldn't do it in David Stewart's lily-white neighborhood. And ou sure as hell would be on here screaming about the racism if a black man stopped you in a black neighborhood driving around in a van - even if your van had the name of your company and you'd just been there providing a requested service to a black family. Imagine the cries of racism from you if a black community watch member stopped you and asked why you were there.
