amazon locks man out of smart home devices over false racism claims
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/amazon-locks-man-out-smart-device-over-false-racism-claims
In other words, the doorbell was talking out of its a$$.
Or had been hijacked by hackers.
"In a statement to ntd news, amazon said: 'we learned through our investigation that the customer did not act inappropriately, and we’re working directly with the customer to resolve their concerns while also looking at ways to prevent a similar situation from happening again.'"
N.S.: Nah. The problem was that amazon hired a racist black driver. They have to fire the driver.

His own fault for being an idiot--basically giving control of his home to a Big Brother system. No way I would have Siri, Alexis, or any other internet-connected device controlling things in my home.
The Adventures of Tennessee Tuxedo(for anyone who enjoyed the old Saturday morning cartoons).
Chumley the Walrus:Duheee,Tennessee,how are we going to get back in our home at the zoo--we're locked out by that brand new security device.
Tennessee:Never fear.It must be a temporary programming error by the manufacturer of that contraption. WOULD YOU BELIEVE,Chumley,I think YOU have a higher IQ than that so called "smart device?"
Chumley:Duheee--really?(as he walks into the only "Walrus trap" in the city.)
Tennessee:Well on second thought...maybe not. HERE--let me help you get out of that thing.After you're free from this trap,we must go see Professor Whoopee--he'll know what to do.Tennessee Tuxedo WILL NOT FAIL.
(And the two of them made their way across the city to the laboratory of one Phineas J.Whoopee,where they knocked on his half opened door.)
Tennessee:Professor Whoopee?
(a slight amount of smoke was in the room)
Whoopee:Oh hello,you two--don't mind the foul air--Canadian wildfires--what brings you to this side of New York?
Chumley:I forget(cough)
Tennessee:It's because--Chumley--we've been electronically locked out of our zoo quarters.
Whoopee:Oh,(laughs)you mean a smart security system?
Tennessee:Except it ISN'T--smart,that is.We're supposed to be in there and no matter what we do,it denies our password.
Whoopee:Wellll,that is a tough one for sure.What's the password?
Tennessee:Do not Admit--that's what zookeeper Stanley Livingston told us it was.
Whoopee:Ahhh,your zookeeper apparently is the problem.What do you say,we change HIS password?I know a tech expert named Musk.He'll fix things for you in five minutes.
Tennessee:Fineas J.Whoopee--you're the greatest!
(And sure enough,when they got back to the zoo,they got in,but zookeeper Livingston could not get out of his office.
Stanley:I know you're behind this Tennessee Tuxedo!
Tennessee:Relax,Stanley.As soon as you deliver some hamburgers and steaks to us for a couple days,we'll tell you the new password.
Stanley:DRAT!Double Drat!All right.
The end

Jackson, who is black, said that the accusation was improbable, as many of the delivery drivers in his area are the same race - thus, the racial slur was "highly unlikely."
No, that makes the likelihood of a racial slur way "more likely"
That being said, the driver probably thought it was a White home and just heard what he wanted to hear.
Correct. Disconnect the damned thing and tell everyone you know to disconnect their damned thing.
