Black Man in Massachusetts Denied Bus Ride Because He's Black

A Massachusetts man is demanding answers after a bus driver was caught on camera denying him service because of his race.

"I walk in front of the bus, put my hand up so he can see me, we make eye contact, stood on the side of the road, we made eye contact again, and he keeps going," Kevin Brooks said.

Brooks says he ordered an Uber and followed the bus so he could confront the driver.

Video recorded and blurred by the Vineyard Transit Authority shows the driver at first claiming the bus was at capacity, but seconds later he offered another explanation.

"Well, it's 'cause you're black," the bus driver said.

The transit authority fired the driver following an investigation.

Brooks says he may pursue legal action, and he's speaking out to show his three children the importance of shining a spotlight on discrimination.

Here's the link to the complete article.  

In another article Brooks went on to say;

He was stunned by the interaction, called the authority to report the incident. “For the first time in my life I had to swallow it,” Brooks told MV Times. “I’ve never felt more disrespected or belittled in my life. I had trouble sleeping that night.”

I truly feel for this guy and I wish him the best. Racism is such an ugly thing that is getting worst all over again, despite the "other side" denying it exist. The best thing we can do is continue to be vocal and not back down. I'm glad the bus driver was fired immediately.
