A video going viral on Facebook this week shows the moment a black truck driver in Oklahoma says he was blocked in and questioned by residents in a gated community as he tried to make a delivery.
In the video, which was first broadcasted on Facebook on Monday and has since racked up more than 100,000 views, the driver, Travis Miller, could be seen repeatedly telling a man who claimed to be president of the local homeowners association to clear the way so that he could proceed with his delivery route.
My name is David Stewart,” the man, who appeared to be talking to someone else on the phone, could be heard responding off to the side of Miller’s truck.
“I don’t care,” Miller responds. “Move out the way, sir.”
After several moments during which the man continues to talk on the phone, Miller asks, “Can you tell him to hang up and move so I can leave? Thank you.”
“I asked you one question,” the man tells Miller.
“It’s none of your business,” Miller says, to which the man responds: “No, no. It is my business.”
“Why, because you [sic] the mayor of the cul-de-sac?” Miller asks.
“I’m president of the home owners association,” the man responds. “These are private streets.”
“Ok,” Miller replies, “and apparently you need a gate code to get in here, right? So, how did I get in here?”
“I want to know where you’re going,” the man tells Miller in the clip.
“It’s none of your business. I’m going out, that’s where I’m going, but you’re in my way,” Miller tells the man.
Later during the clip, which runs for about 35 minutes, the man is joined by another who also asks Miller to tell him where he is going, and if he made a “wrong turn” into the gated community.
“How do I make a wrong turn into a gated neighborhood?” Miller responds. “I need to have a gate code in order to get in, right?”
“How did you get a gate code?” the second man asks Miller.
“That’s none of your business,” he again says, to which the second man responds: “It sure as hell is my business.”
