My mistake. That was Neil Boortz.

Add to the fact of who he drives every day. I will say, with 100% certainty, that the majority of the people that he picks up in his car treat him like sh*t.

Not because he’s black. Not because he’s a guy. Because he’s nothing more than an Uber driver. They are above him in all aspects of life.

They are his superiors. And, of course, being in liberal Philly, the white liberals in that city probably make up a sizable portion of his riders.

I met him in 1993, when he was just building his national reputation. He’s a nice enough fellow. Way left of me and has some oddball libertarian views, but hardly an enemy.

He has become more conservative and less libertarian over the years.

Very similar encounter with a delivery driver. A contractor scheduled curbside delivery of 1250 lbs of construction materials for a 4th floor condo. The driver, a humongous black guy, volunteered to help me hump it to the elevator and into my condo. We started talking about politics and basically agreed about everything. I tipped him the cost of the delivery, which he didn’t know I would do. Great guy. So they are out there.

Did Prager ever apologize to Bob Grant (RIP)?

Black working men are getting it...

Almost all black women are married to the State and the Democratic Party.

Standard Operating Procedure among too many.

Off topic but..... When commenting on a picture of a woman, especially negatively, the commenter should be required to post recent photos of themselves.

Chris Stigall tells the same story on his podcast. He’s a Philly based host and shared the stage with Prager that night.

Hearing it from a witness was just great.

I rent a storage locker for work. It’s not the most convenient location but I’ve stayed because of the manager.

He’s young, black, married and a good father. In that order.

We had some great conversations and he always told me how he learned wisdom from me, an old white married father.

We were able to talk race, Christianity and raising kids.

He recently left for another job.

I may move my stuff to another location.

That my black Uber driver turned out to be a conservative meant not that my generalization was wrong, but that I had encountered an outlier.
And as I have written in the past, while not every outlier does good, virtually all good is achieved by outliers. Conversely, virtually all bad is done by the herd.

This was written by Dennis Prager - it's definitely the truth.

“Very uplifting.”

Indeed, isn’t it? Humanity at its finest.

I don’t know. Prager has “grown” over time. He is still rather pompous but it kinda works for him. Like many he was very anti Trump but was man enough to admit he was wrong.
