Delivery driver allegedly turned away because he's black.


A Lowes delivery driver in Virginia says his manager gave in to a customer who demanded that the store not send a black person to her home.

Marcus Bradley said last Monday started out as an ordinary day on the job.

"Then I got a phone call on the phone telling me to bring the delivery back, saying that I couldn't do the delivery," Bradley said.

He said what he heard next stunned him.

"I asked him why I couldn't do it, and he said because you're black, and they don't want you at the house," Bradley said.

Bradley said he was told the customer specifically asked Lowe's not to send a black delivery person.
