The Hanafis were correct.

What a jerk!!!

You must have endured a lot of cr*p like that in that job.

Kudos to you for sticking up for your principles.

[Rodamala]

Good info to know.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s real name Ferdinand Lewis Alcindor, Jr. Do racial chips get much bigger than that?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I went to the doctor once when I was driving and my blood pressure was something like 160/100 and I’m not even fat. Once I quit it went down to to 120/70 LOL! that’s how much stress that job was.

OH! My Gosh. He’s writing as tho’ he has acquired some much needed intelligence in the past few years. Stop the train - I want to get off....

[Pirate Ragnar]

I hear there might be a coaching job at Marshall University.

Kareem, it's as pure and simple as the sky hook…

Tell your people to:

1. Not get pregnant until they're in a loving, secure marriage
2. Not get hooked on drugs or booze.
3. Stay in school, keep your head down, study, don't be afraid to be smart
4. Not develop as role models the likes of Sharpton, Obama, Jarret, Holder, Fiddy Cent, Dishawn this, Le'Dante that
5. Not buy in to the liberal spin that they can't possibly make it without gubmint
6. Work hard, live with a few room-mates to split expenses out of the hood

The mantra “institutional racism” is getting old...really old...one of reasons I got out of HR

[2ndDivisionVet]

You and me. And I was doing pretty well, pay-wise.

The biggest racists in America are black. Did he say anything about black on white violence?

Pray America is waking

Wow!! That is incredible. Sounds like it’s a great thing for you and your family you left that job.

Dealing with the public is never easy, but inside of a taxi, where you’re trapped and have to take on all manner of people, in various states of intoxication or even messed up in such a way (emotionally or mentally in perhaps a scary way) that they wouldn’t be allowed in a public place... what a nightmare.

I have to take a cab frequently and the main person I always call told me his worst nightmare is taking a cab full of drunk girls (me, a middle-aged lady going to the mall and will pay when she gets there, is a treat for him, apparently :) ).

He doesn’t have a video camera inside his cab, so sometimes, they arrive and the girls don’t have the money to pay, but they threaten to accuse him of something he never did if he insists they pay, etc.

And you never get the option to chat or not. If you’ve got a talker... you’re stuck with him or her... for however long the ride.

I feel for you! I’m glad you’re out of that line of work.

but I digress from the topic of the thread.... :)

Having one issue cloud other more important issues is the standard MO for leftists.

[Dqban22]

These are some of the companies that finance Sharpton’s race war, Anheuser-Busch, Macy’s, Pfizer, NY Developer Forest City Ratner, MGM, Pepsi, Macy’s, Honda, Chrysler, General Motors, FedEx, Continental Airlines, Johnson & Johnson and Chase. Al Sharpton is able to fly around the country advocating for violent protests and the murder of cops because many of the nation’s top corporations have fallen for his shakedown efforts and give him millions to fund his activities. It is time to pressure these corporations to stop finding this charlatan’s efforts.

[mosesdapoet]

Branden Campbell or the Boston Garbage editor probably didn’t want or forgot to remind this afro adminazter of poop of this. To axe him what he thought of the murderer’s message left behind. Which were lies he believed and that specifically cited those Obama Holder Sharpton manufactured “victim” reports which turned into “hands up don’t shoot me in cold blood” as his reasons for his racist retaliation cold blood killing of a hispanic and a “oriental” police offcer seated in their vehicle.

Kareem is so smart when he retired he was almost broke because his money managers robbed him blind.

Well on the bright side he can a least still dribble. However he was better at it when it was with a basketball.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yeah I tell you, they think they can stick it to the little guy and get away with it, but I tell everyone I meet who brings that guy up what he is really like. Taxi drivers in New York city make absolute garbage money, pocket change unless they’re insane and drive 100 mph and work 24 hours a day , which a lot do by the way - they sleep an hour or two in the cab then they are off again. But for a guy like Jabbar to do that tells a lot about his character.

[glyptol]

At his age all he can do is jerk./s
