Viral Video of Amazon Manager Calling Black Delivery Man the N-Word
The incident has sparked fury among social media users as many not only lend their support to Mayrant but are also demanding that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos do something about his firing.
In the video, which was recorded via Ring Doorbell, Boynton, also an Amazon employee, can be seen yelling at Mayrant as he talks to another Amazon colleague on the phone to complain about the delivery.
This is unacceptable! A Black Amazon driver was FIRED from his job after a neighborhood resident called him racial slurs & harassed him while taking photos of him. Why was this young man terminated when he was the victim of this shameful harassment?!

According to the latest reports, Mayrant said Boynton falsely accused him of violating various Amazon policies, including allegedly improperly parking his car and walking on his lawn. However, Mayrant says he simply “clumsily parked on a narrow street” to avoid other parked cars.
“After waiting behind my truck for no more than 20 seconds, the guy slammed the door in my face as I tried to deliver his package,” Mayrant said of Boynton. He added that Boynton had started taking pictures of him.
At the end of the video, while he’s still on the phone with his Amazon colleague, Boynton can be heard repeatedly calling Mayrant the N-word.
@amazon had thee NERVE to think it was ok for firing a black man after a white supremacist made a false complaint against him. @JeffBezos this isn’t the 1st time ur company exhibited blatant racism. I wish we’d stop supporting these companies who are against us. #BradBoynton https://t.co/bgtFYFfzJW pic.twitter.com/kHK3iBDKKE

It was Mayrant’s sister, Heather Rose, who posted the video on her Instagram, calling the incident “heartbreaking.” She detailed what exactly happened that day, telling the story from her brother’s point of view.
“I know that racism is still alive, that is, I see it all the time on the Internet and then it hurts, but it is a little more heartbreaking and shocking to see when he is my blood brother. Anyone who knows my brother knows that he is The Quietest Person and Left Alone! Yesterday while at work for @amazon, I was delivering a package to this man in Cornelius, Carolina. He started taking pictures of my brother and calling Amazon to file a complaint. We later found out it was because the man didn’t like the way he parked his truck @amazon, “he said in the Instagram post. “My brother asked why the photos because it never happened to him. So while on the phone with his college friend from Amazon (who thought it was acceptable to call him Ng ** too), he starts cursing him and calling him Ng ** several times. My brother was FIRED from his job for asking the boy why the photos and walking on his lawn after he called him Ng **. I don’t know what to do in this case. I am so happy that my brother decided to keep walking and didn’t lash out. I probably wouldn’t be here today for an Amazon package! It might help. My brother is now out of work with a new car and apartment! I called Amazon 100 times to file a complaint, I ask you to do the same. Or tell me something better I can do! ”
