Lockport woman claims mail carrier verbally attacked son over flyers warning of racism

Syreeta Dean moved her family to a quiet cul-de-sac in Lockport three years ago.
Things were going smoothly, until last summer.
That’s when she said she started to see her southern neighbor’s true colors.
Last summer Dean says she was out back with her children when she heard someone yell “Shut up!”
“And we looked around like, “Who said that?”
She said she saw her neighbors up on their deck and they repeated the demand, but this time adding a racist slur.
“‘You shut up!’ She yelled it. ‘You nig***’, just like that. And then she ran back into her house.”
June 8 Dean was inside while her son was in the driveway listening to music, that’s when she said she heard a commotion outside.
“I heard this screaming outside. So, when I looked out the window I saw this mail carrier parked outside my driveway, walking up my driveway, yelling at my son.”
Dean said she confronted the carrier.
“Who do you think you are? What are you doing? Who are you yelling at — don’t you dare talk to my son like that.”
Dean said the mail carrier was falsely accusing her son of distributing the flyers in mailboxes around the street, which is illegal.
Her confrontation did not receive a warm response, she said. Dean alleged the carrier gave her the finger as she left her property.
Dean’s next action was to go report the incident to the postmaster.
“When I drove by her, she turned and looked at me — gave me the finger again.”
