The only problem with the "tears to your eyes" is that with the racist "black lives matter" (what about white, Asian and other lives?....do they not matter) and the rioting in Baltimore and Ferguson, in addition to the protests and other incidents, a lot more people are going to want to avoid blacks. The Confederate flag issue made it worse....it's okay to destroy cultural artifacts?

Cab drivers have to make a living. I would submit that if they don't stop, it's because of prior experience. The black community has got to do more to stop crime. It starts with making communities outside their front doors safe, and yes, that includes accepting strong-willed policing.

PS: I'm not a raciest. I'm a realist that lives in an area close enough to the city to in my every day dealings see a lot of blacks who have no trouble with being accepted as employees, consumers, and neighbors.

If I’m not mistaken, which I often am, didn’t Martin O’Malley get booed in a speech to his alleged base because he said ‘all lives matter’...? There will not be even half-hearted attempts at reconciliation as long as attitudes like that prevail...

a lot more people are going to want to avoid blacks.

to coin a phrase I heard somewhere ‘The truth that dare not speak its name’...

BLACK cab drivers don’t like to pick up black passengers.

Besides the risk of robbery or fare beating, blacks are notorious for not tipping.
