“Today I Messed Up By Owning A Golden Retriever While Being Black”: Delusional Delivery Woman Calls Cops On Customer
Ordering food to your home usually goes pretty smoothly. You click a few buttons on your phone, say a few curse words when it takes longer than the app predicted, and the next thing you know, you get to stuff your face while watching Netflix.
However, Reddit user ‘Agent Papier‘ had it way, way worse.
The delivery girl that brought her order found the fact that a black person could own a Golden Retriever so suspicious, she decided to be the hero and save the dog, calling the police and hoping they would return it to the owner. You know, because people of color only raise psychotic demons that can help them in their crimes against good law-abiding citizens.
Luckily, the cops who showed up at the scene were more reasonable than the racist who called them and everything eventually winded down.
After ‘Agent Papier’ finally ate her meal, the woman turned to the subreddit r/TIFU to vent, and her post made one heck of a read.

Even though racial profiling has been long rooted in our society, the first attempts to eradicate it came relatively late with the Traffic Stops Statistics Act of 1997, H.R. 118. Passed unanimously by the US House of Representatives in March 1998, this bill constituted the first attempt by any legislative body to come to grips with the police practice of stopping black drivers in disproportionate numbers for traffic infractions, in attempts to investigate other crimes for which the police had no evidence.
According to David Harris, Sally Ann Semenko Endowed Chair and Professor of Law at the University of Pittsburgh, the tactic used to target drug interdiction evidence on highways and interstates across the country, had existed for years but it had come to wider public knowledge in the early and middle 1990s with the filings of legal actions against the New Jersey and Maryland state police forces.
“With passage of the bill in the House, law enforcement organizations, which had previously taken no notice of the bill, announced their opposition,” Harris, who studies, writes, and teaches about police behavior, law enforcement and race, said. “With the onset of the Clinton impeachment proceedings, the bill never advanced in the Senate, and did not pass. But the Act had a wider effect: Multiple states passed anti-racial profiling legislation over the next several years, and a more comprehensive bill—the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA)—was introduced in every successive Congress over the decade. In the arena of public discussion, the first bill’s passage by the House changed the debate, bringing the issue of racial profiling front and center for the first time. It surfaced in the 2000 presidential election debates, and even in the first speech to Congress given by President George W. Bush, in which he vowed that his administration would end the practice once and for all.”
But we still get nasty stories about this kind of behavior. We had BBQ Becky calling the cops on black folks for having a barbeque, Permit Patty informing the force about an 8-year-old girl who was “illegally” selling water on the street, and others. And these experiences can be more harmful than they look.
“There are enormous health consequences to those experiencing these everyday harms … because of the constancy of this stress,” Rachel Godsil of the Perception Institute, a research group that helps organizations reduce discrimination, told CNN.
In fact, minority groups who endure everyday discrimination often suffer high rates of chronic diseases, and black, Latino, and Asian customers get charged higher car interest rates than whites. Even if they have similar credit histories.
One study even found that white job interviewers sat farther away from black applicants than from white applicants and ended the interviews 25% sooner.
So yeah, the cops stopping the delivery girl on her way out of the neighborhood was actually a good thing. Let’s hope she left with a lesson learned.
People couldn’t believe how ridiculous the whole ordeal was
Reporting this kind of __________ WHILE BLACK to the police should be a misdemeanor with a significant fine. Write your local lawmakers!
San Francisco is introducing the "Caren Act" which makes placing racist 911 calls a hate crime!

My very-white neighbor with the pitbull-rott mix is gonna be shocked AF to find he's supposed to have a golden retriever.
I wonder what it means for my very black friend with the standard poodle? Does it matter if the poodle is black?

Someone mentioned that the driver could've gotten the black woman killed. It's actually killing us softly and quietly daily as we are dying of stress related poor lifestyle choices in order to cope with the day to day small instances of bigotry. I wish other peoples can experience what we do in a year and see what that does to a person's psyche.
Just wow. People really need to learn to mind their own business. If she stole the neighbor's dog I'm sure the neighbor would have noticed ( as mentioned above) and dealt with it. This was just crazy racism that could have gotten the poor dog owner killed with different cops.
She could have knocked on the neighbours door and asked them if they had their dog or told them she thought their neighbour had it. But no, she had to come to a bunch of racist conclusions about the whole scene and call the cops to boot.
I would have said even knocking on the neighbor's door would be overstepping, but you're right, that would have been way preferable to calling the police!

i heard some racist stereotypes but this one is new and a bit weird in fact a lot weird just more proof that shows how dumb these racists are
It's not exactly new. Just as we're all "supposed" to live in the 'hood, Black people are also "supposed" to only have Pitbulls, Rottweilers, and basically any other kind of "hard/gangsta" dog that can be used for guarding/fighting as pets. It was already "audacious" for a Black women to live in the suburbs like the Tanners, she had to have a dog like Comet as well.

So if you're white, does that mean you're not allowed to have pitbulls? Asking for a friend.
Half my family are people of colour or mixed race, and I cannot tell you how often and how constantly they face this kind of unreasonable prejudice from complete strangers. My rage is boundless for these kind of people. I don't think they should be able to get away with this and I hope the police tore her a new one. If not, I'd be willing.
That is terrible, Jo. People who hate others due to etnicity, nationality or sexuality are roten.

And they needed to send TWO POLICE CARS to deal with a stolen dog because why? That response is in itself somewhat racist.
Yup. I reported a man harassing me and trying to break in, I got one cop who watched the doorcam video and then told me he couldn't actually do anything until the guy became physically violent. They knew the guy and the cop actually told me they received a bunch of calls about him. Wanna guess what he looked like? Wanna guess what country?

This makes me f*****g sick to my stomach. Just how racist does one have to be to genuinely believe that certain people only own certain types of dogs?!" I sincerely wish she or the police would have made an example of that human trash.
I am guessing she thinks that only Mexicans can own a chihuahua.

My paranoid ass just keeps thinking how dangerous is to have a dog that can acess either garden without people knowing. I keep thinking that the garden gate will be open and the poor pup will get in traffic. It is one of my biggest fears, that one day there will be a mistake or the door will break and our dogs will scape to the street and get killed by a car.

Racism in this country has gotten completely out of control. Calling the cops on someone because "their kind" usually owns a certain type of dog. A lady that I used to go to church with is black and she owned chihuahuas. There's no telling how many times I have delivered to people that own dogs that "their kind" apparently shouldn't. It would be great for people to stop seeing the world through stupid ignorant stereotypes.
It reminds me of a story about a blind woman who was told by a copassenger to leave the bus, because her service dog was a black lab. Because all service dogs are yellow labs. Damn, not even dogs are free from racists.
My white best friend had 2 black lab guide dogs. This is a tad off subject but it is about racism. A friend was waiting to be seated at a popular restaurant. She has light olive skin, and this f*****g couple approaches her and said, "stop taking our jobs. go back where you come from." She replied that she would love to go visit her hometown, Cleveland. That pissed them off even more. just WHY?

I wonder what it feels like to live with a f****d up brain like that - it must be very stressfull to constantly be baffled and upset that everybody is not acting within the tiny framework you built in your head.

"Human being proves its species can once again be less tolerant than dogs." Nothing against dogs btw omg no, love them! Just that human beings can be so stupid and hateful. And how casually she said about how she wasn't shot, and had cake. That makes me so gutted. Because damn if it isn't far from the truth, I think that's been proven enough
Was she just waiting around for you to get put in handcuffs so that she could come and gloat?!
people suuuuuuccccckkkkkk. the only, ONLY, thing that ever needs to be asked in that situation is "OMG can i pet your dog?'
"That animals get no justice," Yet calling the cops on a Black person for a purely stereotypical reason is perfectly A-OK, got it. 😒 Low bar that she still considers us human, but still some life-threatening, stress-causing b******t.
Lol... I know more white people with pit bulls and rotties... all of my black family members have the tiniest little lap dogs or weird little mutts that wandered into their yards as strays that they cleaned up and gave a home. I don't think anyone that is black in my family has a pit or rot. I see more grown ass black men with shih tzus these days... bahaha and I'm from New Orleans. Don't get me wrong.. we (POC) love pit bulls n rotties... but that fucken stereotype is so far from the truth these days. Legit.. my black brother matches outfits with his 5lb Yorkie. You'd think he was some "thug" ... then her turns the corner with his little yorkie in a matching outfit and you're like "that ain't no thug! That's just a dude who loves his cute ass dog!" Can we stop with these ridiculous generalizations please? Jesus. That dog could have been ripped from his loving home all because of one racist ass nosy b***h.
I would so love to see your brother and his dog out promenading!

Dafuq? If white person owned pittbull or rottweiler, their dog must be stolen from black person, or what? If you're mixed race, what breed of dog can you have? Mix of rottweiler and golder retriever? Can non-afghanese person own afghan hound? So many questions.
Hope your food didn’t get cold while waiting for all the b******t to be over! Go kiss your pup and make sure the delivery service never sends that a*****e to your address again. If she gets blocked from too many addresses, she’ll only have her racism and lack of impulse control to blame.
carrot cake is good, but this guy deserves way more compensation for this bs
The new Aziz Ansari standup on Netflix notes that golden retrievers are white people dogs. This story is over the top though.
Are the police in America bored or something? The things they turn out for. Police in Australia would never turn up for that. Has the dog been reported stolen? No. Fine. We'll get onto it when the dogs reported stolen.
I am having problem understanding the stupidity here. I have known black folk who owned labs (they were duck hunters), a corgi name ein(weeb and proud of it) dachshund and a cokerspaniel (misspelt for filter). You get a dog because it clicks with you. Heck I got a neighbor whose dog would come over and walk in the house during the summer to cool off. I don't have dogs but I don't mind. Sometimes neighbors are familiar with neighbors animals. I had to walk the horses and cows home while a neighbor was at work. Put up her little fluff pup because she got loose. If I approach your yard and your putting a dog up even if I see it in a neighbors yard I am gonna assume it's a jumper that might cause paint damage before the thought you stole it
What a sad statement of our society. If this delivery drivers claims to be a Christian (don’t know if she does) she needs to think again. Remember do unto others as they would do into you. This does not apply to just Christians.
It is high time we started treating all Americans with dignity and respect, regardless of race, color or creed. Everyone is entitled to the dog or cat of their choice, especially if adopted from an animal shelter.
Wait... WFT? This makes no sense. Why wouldn't a black woman own a golden retriever? Why would anyone steal their neighbour's dog? Why would the delivery person call the police, rather than knock on the neighbour's door, and say "Excuse me, do you own a golden retriever? I think it just followed your neighbour inside?" Crazy b***h.
The delivery driver is dumb as a box of rocks. I hope Door Dash fires her. She owes OP an apology.
Maybe I should tell my black neighbor he has to get rid of his Pudge and get a pit bull... and tell my white friends to get rid of their Rottweilers and pit bulls and get Goldens. As a second thought, maybe I should tell my Italian friend to get rid of his Boxers ( a fawn and a brindle) because, you know, we wouldn't want someone to mistake them for a dog that only black people own. What sheer utter nonsense. Some people must have IQs in the low single digits.
Wow. This is ridiculous. People are insane and I will never understand this racist s**t. Also don't know where I fit in but I might be safe with my pitbull mix mutts and I'm a Hispanic mix mutt
I love seeing the big, buff tattooed guys with their tiny dogs and little old couples walking a Pittie or two.
I experience a weird dog racism too. I live in an 'urban' area with only Pitts. The pitt owners are slightly hostile to me when I walk & play with my boxer. Everyone's automatically scared of her even tho shes literally never been aggressive to anyone unless slob is considered a weapon. It's like these Pitt parents think it's weird and stupid to actual walk & play with a dog. But isnt that the very purpose of having a dog? And I dont understand people that had to get rid of the dog cause the new landlord wouldn't allow or they had to move. After years of having the pooch. WTF? I would literally die from worry.
Not everybody can afford to have that much choice about where they live. Especially if they need accessible housing.
