We all know that delivery drivers have many hazards to deal with on the job—loose dogs, cranky customers, reckless drivers, bad traffic and plenty of other things that can make a day on the job stressful. Black delivery drivers have it even worse because they’re constantly dealing with things like loose dogs, cranky customers, reckless drivers, bad traffic—and angry and violent white people who don’t want Black people in their neighborhoods even when they’re just minding their own business while trying to earn an honest living.
Meet 64-year-old John Vincentini, who recently pleaded guilty to bias intimidation over yet another incident that involved white people and their abject inability to leave Black people alone.
On Sept. 5, 2022, in Lacey, New Jersey, Vincentini spotted a Black Amazon driver in his neighborhood, and like a true Klansman with Karen tendencies, he decided to follow the driver into a cul-de-sac to harass him. To Vincentini’s credit, he didn’t engage in obvious racism and then lie and say he was just a concerned citizen looking after his neighborhood, or that the guy he found suspicious just happened to be Black, but that didn’t have anything to do with the harassment because he doesn’t see color. Instead, Vincentini said with his entire white supremacist chest that the reason he was confronting the driver was that he’s racist, his neighborhood is racist and Black people don’t belong there.
