(13,556 posts)when I order something on-line like I've been doing a lot lately, there is no choice for what carrier you want them to use. They almost always have it already arranged with UPS, FedEx or USPS.

(14,855 posts)I'm white, and I've encountered some racists, but I've personally never met anyone who was THAT paranoid!
Fedex should've banned that customer, not fired their drivers!

Had the races been switched, White drivers could have claimed they feared for their lives and blown the guy away.
I hope Fedex catches shit for this.

(9,893 posts)context here that Im missing? I see a white guy standing there with what appears to be a recording device and an indignant black guy telling him off. No way of telling what happened.
