>> Speaker 1: You wanna call the police on
them for having a barbecue on a Sunday?
[CROSSTALK]
>> I'm gonna tell
them there's an African American
man threatening my life.
>> Experiencing a racist DoorDasher.
[00:00:52]
>> Speaker 2: Anybody else got a name?
[00:01:12]
>> Mind you all, I never spoke with her,
never seen her or anything.
>> Speaker 3: Put up
the picture full mass.
This is why we do the show,
it's a public service announcement.
Provides an opportunity for
reflection and correction.
A DoorDash driver was captured
on video delivering an order,
[00:01:33]
but decided to also bring racial slurs.
This was in North Carolina.
The driver referred to as
Melanie by TikTok user,
Princess Jones,
was captured on a ring doorbell camera.
[00:01:48]
You saw the rude way in which she
decided to opine about the order.
So after she left the food, Melanie could
be heard saying, here's your ish n word.
Come get it, as she took
a picture of the delivered order.
[00:02:07]
The video of the racist DoorDash driver
went viral after being shared by Jones on
TikTok with the caption at DoorDash this
was definitely the most heartbreaking and
worst experience I've ever experienced
with dealing with DoorDash and
[00:02:22]
Lil Melanie count your days well.
And I don't think that's a physical
threat, but definitely a social media one.
So here we are, the person who's
the victim of these racial slurs said I
don't know her, never spoke to the person,
did not have contact with this individual.
[00:02:42]
But naturally,
we clearly see there's racist sentiment
as if all of these things
must have happened prior.
We got Rickey Smiley to
opine on this matter.
[00:02:58]
It doesn't make sense to me.
You're delivering food, then all of
a sudden, you decide to just start saying
racist things that typically you can see
if a person has a ring video doorbell.
So here we are, Rickey, thoughts?
>> Speaker 4: First of all, Dr. Richey,
I'm not sure if I'm watching the right
[00:03:16]
show or not because I thought all
the Karen's lived in the suburbs.
>> [LAUGH]
>> Dr.
Richey, I ain't never
seen a Karen DoorDash.
Okay, we're going to have to come
up that's not Karen, that's KK.
>> [LAUGH]
>> That's KK,
[00:03:32]
that's delivering DoorDash and
to sit there and wait for them.
What if the lady would
have came to the door?
What was she going to confront her or
something?
Is she unhappy with the tip?
What is she unhappy about?
Nothing, justifies that
kind of behavior and
I'm glad I watch your show all the time,
Dr. Richie, and
[00:03:51]
I'm glad that you are bringing exposure
and bringing light to people like this.
So maybe people can take a deep breath and
think their actions before they do it.
Because man,
that is just absolutely awful.
You must be having a real
bad day to sit there and
[00:04:10]
wait for somebody to come to the door and
hurl out racial slurs to someone
that I never done DoorDash.
But on the app,
can you see what color the person is,
who you're delivering the food to.
[00:04:25]
You know what I'm saying?
I don't know, I'm confused.
>> Speaker 4: Yeah, so
the answer is no which makes this story
even more ironic and will say this.
As far as DoorDash is concerned,
as a company, you have to address this
[00:04:41]
number one because I would have a feeling,
well, wait a minute.
If you got folks like this working for
DoorDash,
why would I trust that they
would not tamper with my food
if they already hate my skin
color while delivering my food?
[00:04:56]
What will stop them from
tampering with my food?
