A man in Pennsylvania has been caught on camera, yelling racial slurs at a Black truck driver named Ross King Jr. The delivery driver himself recorded the exchange on his phone, and the video went viral on social media. The man faced swift consequences when he was fired from his city job.
The man, who threw derogatory remarks at King, was working as a public works employee for Swissvale, a borough in Western Pennsylvania. At around 5 a.m. on November 5, he was seen approaching the truck driver. He hurled racial slurs and even threatened to start a fight.
The viral clip shows the man throwing the N-word twice at King, who was sitting quietly inside his vehicle. He also accused the Black truck driver of being afraid to get out of his truck and face him directly.
