Irony is the real Nazis would have killed guys like him in the death camps.
A Michael Jackson fan ?
Mexican Nazis?
Didn't National Socialists start calling themselves Nazis?
A black Nazi? I don’t think the term means what he thinks it means. If/When he got around a real bunch, he would be thought of as worse that dog waste. If this guy is bold enough, stupid enough to give interviews with name and face, the taxi company should ponder if they want publically avowed NAZIS working for them. He actually looks Ethiopian or Somali, not like your average American black man. Perhaps therein lies the feeling of not quite belonging. A thug in search of a gang.
Fire the guys wearing the Che t-shirts too, please!
If he's referring to the mid-twentieth-century German national socialists, then the answer is "everyone". He's the wrong guy to be wearing a Swastika armband. It's a simple tautology. The "National" refers to a nation defined by race -- it's what distinguished the NAZIs from the Soviet Communists, who professed to be about international socialism.
However, in another sense, he's quite correct. The guy's hispanic -- he could join the race-based "La Raza" (it means "the race" -- so, again tautologically, it's a race-based organization). Perhaps "La Raza" isn't as overtly socialist as the earlier "La Raza Unida Party"; but, you can be certain that it's not a free-enterprise party. The cabbie wants to be a national socialist, he's Hispanic -- he could wear an arm band with a "La Raza" symbol, and no one would dare bother him about it.
Isn’t this really opening the proverbial can of worms?
NOT that the LIBS care about that...
If it is a Govt regulation that the guy can’t wear his Arm Band, in the same respect couldn’t they tell me I can’t wear a VN Vet cap?
A driver can’t wear a Red Sox Cap?
Would they DARE tell a Muslim that he can’t wear his traditional mufti?
Would they dare tell a Jew he couldn’t wear a Yarmulke?
Would they dare tell a Sheik he can’t wear his Turban?
etc etc etc
Of course their response would be the Nazi symbol may ‘upset’ some people.... I agree but if I were to complain that a Muslim driver upset me (because of his dress, smell etc ...actually Smell for all) they would tell me tough, get another cab or find another way - IT IS DISCRIMINATION to tell ___________________ he can’t dress in HIS tradition.
Granted, if the guy shows up for his job, gets his Face, is wearing the now ‘unacceptable’ gear he has a leg to stand on.
However, if I am doing the hiring and tell you that I can’t/won’t hire you (for any of the examples cited above), I am opening myself up to lawsuits.
I would imagine that if you showed up for the interview and were wearing a suit and tie or even slacks and open collared shirt, got hired and then showed up for work in ‘traditional mufti’, YOU would have a case against the guy (or gal....or in today’s world the ??????) if he claims he always wears it or it is his ‘religious’ beliefs.
This transgender thing is really going to get interesting..
Makes one want to buy up all the popcorn companies in the world.
The comments at the link are a trip!
Suspended by a rope would be good.
He does. The cab company can fire him, but the State via the regulatory Agency can not.
He has the right to wear a nazi symbol and his employer has to right to fire his stupid ass. Let him start up his own cab company and let’s see how well he does.
These news sites play havoc with my computer.......After 15 minutes I still couldn’t load the video......
If I were the dispatcher at that company, I would send the guy to 1938 Kristallnacht Avenue in Queens for a pick-up and tell him his ass was on the line if he didn’t show up there within half an hour.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

He does, and should. He has no right to a job.
Gabriel Diaz, 26, spoke outside of his family’s home... “I am. I’m a National Socialist – what you guys call a Nazi. I am. I’m a believer of it... I don’t hate Jews. I’m critical of them, but I don’t hate them. That doesn’t mean that I’m anti-Semitic. That don’t make me a hater... Who says you have to be white to be a National Socialist? You don’t have to be white, it can by anybody.”He doesn't hate Jews, he's just critical of them. In Nazi Germany, anti-Jewish measures were intensified. The Elephant Man had a little puffiness around the eyes.
