Racism

Would it have anything to do with most black taxi driver's ask you for directions? or that most taxi's I've been in that are driven by black guys they always have a sat nav....

Or possibly the FACT that some black taxi driver's do not have to undergo the extensive back round checks indigenous taxi driver's do, This was pointed out some years ago by the rep from the taxi federation i.e how can a proper check be done on a African applicant. Now if you have an issue with this post that's fine,if you think it has any kind of racist slant that's also fine. I am giving my opinion and giving facts from my own experiences.

Not a racist slant - more a stupidity slant, why do you keep getting into taxi's that you seem to have such a problem with!?
Have you any issues with White Africans btw?

Does the racism card be played when ,what ever culture or nationality (travellers,non nationals,non whites,muslim,non catholic,etc)might not get whatever it thinks it should get ?

Would it not be the discrimination card as opposed to the racism card for most of those in your post?

Stop asking stupid fcuking questions........

I'm giving opinions based on my experiences simple as. but then again If your opinions don't fit in with people who don't want any kind of open debate then your a racist, ah it fits a easily.

Well I can tell you your talking out your asre.........

A relative of mine works in the dept that does these checks and he has told me on numerous occasions that it is near on impossible to get full details of the individual if they come from certain parts of Nigeria.

You are quite rude. what manner of communication is this? This is unacceptable. Also can you (if you can manage it) tell me what your posting has to do with what you have quoted above?

Furthermore. I guess by you rudeness what circles you frequent, your so called relative could be a xenophobe or an agent of the Taxi drivers union so averse to Foreigners getting into the trade.

Read my post one more time and fault any logic there in.

I didn't call you a racist I asked a question in line with an open debate. If you can't answer with a bit of manners I'll not engage with you any further.

Hi Kerash. when we step out into open waters of debate on a fublic forum like this. we are bound to meet people that are the epitome of a civilized way of communicating and others who are trying to be while also we would encounter peole lacking the ability to think logically and properly without the verbal skills to argue their point without resorting to abuse or verbal violence. All we can do is not take it to mean anything. Everytime they do as our friend has done above, we take it as a victory. Let him show himself for who he is.

If we stop engaing people like this. Others will read their ugly posts and without anybody to point out the falacies of thought others might tend to start believing their trash as gospel truth. Please do not stop engaging.

To Not Yet ...... Man has advanced so far from the caves of history because we dare ask questions. For a man that claims to be 43 and a brain surgeon you surprise me....

Well you can guess away, I have no connections as such with any taxi union or the like.....but you just carry on making it up as you go along.

And just on a point of clarity, The agents of the state do these back round checks, so your calling these agencies xenophobic, feel free to clarify.

Just to be a little pedantic................First of all if you '' CHECKED'' my join date and add that to my age at the time, you would know my age, secondly, If you used after hours for any period of time you would get the irony/sarcasm in my description of my job.

So there ya go, you need to get onto a serious debate platform if you don't want to be offended

Only white people can be racist? What an ignorant statement to make.

That one comes up often and I don't know why!
