RACISM

I spent most of my adult life driving cab at night

all over the deepest, darkest part of the deepest, darkest  hood.

So I might know what I'm talking about.

So called racism is often as not is a matter of perception.

A gentleman of color is walking down the street and is angry because he perceives racism as the reason he doesn't get ahead. 


He is certain that the reason cabs don't stop for him is because he is black (aka:  Gentleman of color LOL)


To prove this he flags a passing cab.  It passes him by confirming what he wants to believe.


NOTE: When a cab is assigned an order they are not suppose to stop for flags but to proceed to the assigned address.


He does it again.  Same result.  Now he is really pissed but is surprised when the third cab stops.


Even tho he has not got any money in his pocket he gets in
and gives the driver and address.


When the they arrive he announces that he has to go get the money.


NOTE:  If you haven't got the money to pay you have no business being in the cab. 


Do you go into a restaurant and order a meal then when your done announce that you'll go get the money and be right back?


When they arrive at the destination he says he needs to go get the money, then goes and timidly knocks on a door.  When there is no response he says he has got to go around back and
knock on a window.


Are you going to follow him behind a building at night to collect five dollars?  Probably not.


After this happens two or three times he passes up a gentleman of color who flags him as he drives by.


What is a self fulfilling prophesy?
