Black delivery driver blocked into Oklahoma neighborhood by HOA president

Not to insult here, but wanna know how I can tell you're white?
There should be, also for the person who joined in. We should have his name and the name of his employer.
Probably because I'm blissfully unaware of how bad its been and come off tone deaf.
Yup, that.
Even though we (black people) and they (other minorities) have been telling you this for decades, so you should've known how pervasive it is without cameraphones.
Even though we had one of the most high profile examples of this emerge long before everyone had a camera in their pocket, so you should've understood right then and there.
This. Fuck that HoA guy, people like this should have their life ruined
Jesus Christ. These power tripping assholes just can't leave black people alone. I'm so glad this didn't end another innocent person's life being taken.
I've lived in a number of communities with HOA's and largely anyone involved with them who lived in the community was a complete asshole to deal with. i've seen people like this harass and chase people in their cars until they left the community without any proof or reason to justify it. i've had people come over to my house to tell me i had too many guests/cars in the vicinity and was only permitted "so many guests or guests vehicles near my property at any given time", basically any bullshit they want to make up to punish people they don't want in the community.
worst I ever had to deal with was a neighbor on the HOA board (a retired elementary teacher much less), blacklisting me because she saw that I let a teenager (who happened to not be white) into the community through the side gate along my home. that night i got a call from her to remind me im not allowed to let anyone into the community without proper ID, "how many black people live here to believe he was visiting family?" lol
two weeks later i got notices about having too many wind chimes on my patio and that my garden lighting was "distracting my neighbors", much less the crap i've dealt with over things like the confederate flag/tea party shit being allowed outside of some homes but being told a small political sign in my yard wasn't allowed (it was for a democrat). HOA's and gated communities are trash, even in more "progressive neighborhoods" in LA i've seen people behave like bigoted trash once your behind some gates.

This doesn't make any sense to me. Where in America isn't this happening ? This idea like it's only in the south is such a joke.
Yep. Its everywhere. IF theres a difference I can even imagine is that people here are a bit more casual and comfortable about it than anything.
While the south certainly has a bad record, this isn't a south only thing. Acting like it's a south problem diminishes how bad the problem really is.
Hope this dude gets sued, or at least gets non-threatening harassment in return. I live a few miles away from him. (His home address is already out there on the first local news site comments section I saw, so I suspect he's going to have a bad time).
Dude is an oil-made millionaire.

why didn't he just use the standard white person defense template?
"I have never been called a racist before, and I'm very hurt by all the accusations. I have many black friends. There has been a rash of thefts in the areas so I was being precautious. Excuse me for doing my duty as an American citizen. You people should be ashamed of yourselves!"
It's always the same frumpy pudding people who look like their clothing holds them in a human shape.
Give people any power and shit like this happens. I don't mess with HOAs or Gated Communities unless I'm on vacation and have no choice.
My mans is rich and has nothing better to do than harass people trying to do their job?
Shameful.
"working while black" - added to the list.
i'm getting so fucking tired of this BULLSHIT.
can't imagine just HOW tired of this black people themselves are...
:(

They could but how America works, it prob would be a white jury given its Oklahoma and nothing would come of it.
and by some we mean one
where a kid probably stole some valuable jewelry and pawned it or some shit
HOAs were created solely to push minorities out of neighborhoods. 100% of HOA presidents are like this, who the fuck else would care what your lawn looks like? They need to be abolished.
Ahh racism as traditional as grandma's cooking. As abundant as the oceans. As invisible as the air we breathe. And still completely ignored by the population at large as if it were a fairy tale.
