Blacks face the worst kind of racism, it is call empirical racism. Good example of it was in Philadelphia. A local black activist reporter decided to cover a story about Philadelphia cab drivers refusing to pick up young black men. He arrived at a local gathering place for cab drivers before they drive out and spotted a white cab driver. Immediately he interviewed him and got him to admit he does not pick up black men in certain areas. The black reporter immediately berated the white driver for profiling and racism before another cab driver told him to shut up. Turning around he was surprised the cab driver who told him to be quiet was a black driver and behind him was a group of black cab drivers. The black cab driver was from Jamaica and he also was a leader for the drivers. He immediately educated the reporter on the stats his drivers faced and how many of them have been shot, robbed or stiffed by mainly young black men who wave for a cab. He explained that it was not racism but street experience that all his cab drivers (many of them black) refuse to pick up young black men dressed in a certain way from certain areas of town. Piping in was black limo drivers who explain to the reporter that they face the same problem when called to provide services in black areas and how many of them have been ambushed or worst killed. Racism based on experience is worst then racism based on ignorance because ignorance can be erased by education, but how do you tell someone to ignore real life and death experience and risk everything by being PC?
wow, Thanks for sharing that story. It just makes me sad.
