Brandon Brackins, 23, is a FedEx driver who immediately went live on Facebook to recount his dehumanizing experience with someone who not only called him the n-word but spits on him while he was doing his job.
Brackins was so affected by the incident; it brought him to tears.
He claimed while making deliveries this week in rural Ohio; some “hick” sped around him as he was taking packages out of his truck. He says the person nearly hit him, yelled “n***er” at him … and spit on him.

During the video, Brandon wondered out loud, “What the f**k is the point of all of this protest s**t if it don’t work?! Racism is alive. If any of you ever had to go through that s**t firsthand,”… before trailing off.
His whole testimonial is incredibly powerful, as is the point he’s making here. If the country is serious about finally tackling racism … then it needs to know what it’s like to live with it daily.
In other words: Take a hard look in the mirror, America.
