    Far from correct. Everyone with an app on their phone can get a cab.

    No, I am not.
    I have pointed out the article about equality in the US Constitution.
    You said that article is not valid because of the U.S. History.
    It looks like you are trying to replace laws and common sense with with private interpretation of the history.

    Now a days Uber has taken catching a cab to a new level.

    I was watching the video of the black woman whining she got busted by the cops for yelling at her own phone. She pissed off a neighbor who called the cops to report her.
    Why the hell did the black woman video tape the cops giving her a $400 ticket? She evaded the ticket being handed to her. She made sure to raise hell for the time the 3 cops were there.
    Facebook viewers gave her a piece of their minds.

    Calling for a taxi is easy no matter the pigment.

    Did you treat your students to that kind of talking to them?

    True. Even cabs have an app. I use the Curb app when in NY and there is nowhere to list race when using it.

    I haven't offered why bigotry exists, just noted that it does. I also pointed out that there are racist blacks, almost a guarantee I won't be getting kudos from many on the left.
    What about Japanese who had their assets taken and never returned? Many of their children are alive today.
    When does it end? It varies--Catholics never made it to the White House until JFK. Aboriginals still suffer discrimination. Blacks and Asians, too.
    What ethnicity group are you talking about? Jews?

    Maybe next ride will be from Hooman who probably will pick you up in his Lamborghini.

    As to the Japanese locked in concentration camps by Democrats, that was awful.
    A pal of mine, a Japanese died 3 years back who was locked up as a young boy in the camp.
    Actually I did not learn this in school. I was by then a republican when Vernon explained it to me for the first time in my life around 1980. Frankly at the time in CA in a large high school, even the stuff blacks complain loudly about today were not taught to us in school.
    Vernon the Japanese said his parents were removed from their property that was vandalized during WW2 but his parents got their property back. I have no personal stories where the Japanese lost property due to FDR orders. It is said so I suspect it is true.

    Vernon's parents got a large check when Truman was president. Later the survivors got paid again.
    But it did not set well with Vernon. Vernon was a long time Republican.
    Vernon managed to recover and retired as a design engineer for various airplane manufacturers during his working career.

    Our "gardener" while living in the Hollywood Hills, mid - late fifties
    Abe, lost his farming acreage in what became Santa Monica & Venice.
    If he was ever fairly compensated, he wouldn't have been
    working as a gardener, I Think.


    It might have been harder on those in Southern California
    as their land was more precious.

    Yet the Japanese Americans swallowed it and
    never became ( )o( )'s over this injustice.

    In high school I had 4 Japanese pals. Not counting their sisters.
    They simply did not discuss it when I was in school with them all. 1952-56.
    I wonder if those who lost property lost it due to foreclosure?

    IF they were expected to pay when in the concentration camp, their loan balances, clearly that would lead to lost property.

    Sure as well as other guarantees in the constitution. But Democrats ran things for a very long time in America. Even when we got republican presidents, until more recently, Democrats had total control over the congress as well.

    You know exactly what Group.

    They are the only ones who continue to victimize themselves based on what happened to their great great great grandfather.

    Propaganda Alert!

    The video ... demagoguery, racism.

    The "dirty little secret" exposed here--really, not a secret at all--is that there are black racists who are too often not called out for what they are.

    When I was teaching history, I showed videos of people making racist statements--white, black, brown, Asian, Native American, etc., or making statements about race that most people agree aren't racist--and asked students to write down their reaction. I read what they wrote to the class without mentioning their name, race.

    It was after hearing those comments that students could talk about race (and culture) freely because they knew what was said came from the people in the room.

    In almost every case, you could have heard a pin drop in the room. When I asked what they liked and didn't like about my course at the end of the term, they almost universally thought discussions about race were the most important thing we did.

    You figure that's your exclusive domain?
    If you have something to say, you will.
    Born and raised in the :flagus: USA. Picked up a second citizenship in Canada.

    P.S. Your continuing stupid comments about Canada noted.

    I feel sorry for all of your students after you telling us that.

    That you called the black Candace Owens and her guests racists shows you are very biased all on your own.

    Not one of my history teachers shoved racist conspiracy theories down our throats.

    What segment of "history" were you teaching when you showed those statements?
    You seemed too biased to be teaching young minds, for sure. You can't address points others raise at all. You just label them propaganda and then start preaching.

    Interesting that when a black woman talks to others, it is propaganda. Very very revealing.
