Obama IS a Muslim racist. He is trying to make black people feel superior and entitled, and as a result hated

Racism is a PC term today. Just how black or oriental or Latino do you have to be to be considered in one race or another? 10%, 30% or what number? Interbreeding has made most of us mutts today anyway.

It would be quite difficult to be a racist today. Even the nazis had the problem with Jews- they settled on greater than 37% ancestry meant "Jewish". How stupid really. Even hitler was partly Jewish.

I think today most everyone is not "racist" in that they think actual race means much of anything. Plus, racial interbreeding has resulted in most of us being not of a pure race anyway.
BUT I think most people are "culturist" in that they prefer persons who exhibit certain cultural behaviors, and I see nothing wrong with that.
We interact with so many people that we instinctually and instantly engage in profiling every day. It's not 100% accurate to assess a persons cultural traits and beliefs of course, but it's not a bad or evil practice
We even engage in the same process of profiling in selecting a neighborhood, brands we prefer, restaurants we select
I think the term racist today is more of a PC term designed to incite guilt. Think about it. It's the culture that people have absorbed that accounts more for the differences between persons, not their skin color.

Well, racism is evil, but the government should not
get involved. I have experienced a little discrimin-
ation (but this was some years ago, and with a regular cab), because of the neighborhood I was going into; the cab driver did not want to drive into my neighborhood at night. Which I
suppose was understandable, and that was ap-
parently because of fear rather than racism.

Spot on. For someone who campaigned on the promise of bringing everyone together and "hope and change we can all believe in" it's amazing. Of course, he's a progressive and campaign slogans like those are lies used to hide true motives.

I can't help it. This subject drives me crazy!

It is amazing to me the the first black president has done more to incite racial tension than the last five have done to correct them.

Lol. Nice.

It's also sexist. Because women riders were given longer rides, either to chat them up or to get more money (because apparently women have no direction sense thus can be cheated according to study authors). I am sure there may be other explanations because social behavior isn't a scientific certainty, because every person is different.

Study finds the NBA is racist. "...thorough examination of the makeup of the NBA players has found that among all teams there are far fewer white people as a percentage of the national population than other ethnicity's. Even more insidious is there are no women! Perhaps we should call this the National Boys Association?"

Well said indeed!

Study finds people avoid parking next to cars with dents...Study finds people are excited by loud noises...Study finds dogs drool when a bell rings...

If you want to fix the response, correct behavior controlling the facts.

Uber drivers are private contactors. As such, they can choose to pick up whomever they want unless it is violating a specific rule of the company that they signed up for.I would think that neighborhoods would have a greater tendency to keep drivers away than names. There are certain neighborhoods that many cabbies won't go into in most large and medium cities and suburbs.

If the drivers in Boston and Seattle were allowed to carry guns, they would be less concerned with the quality of the clientele.

We live in a world today and I am only referring to the usa that wants everything to be equal and to the dismay of the do goods it is NOT that way. But they will never ever be open to a discussion as to why that attitude is a pipe dream. Doesn't it get old for us to hear so many complaints as to what is supposedly wrong with what is going on in the country i.e. usa.

You would think that kind of problem and it's endless misery would show the collectivists that people need to care for themselves.
I think of people who have gone to treatment for whatever and how they will repeat the process again and again and will only stop if they decide to stop for themselves at that time treatment can help.
Same thing with poverty for the most part , although with the loss of industry due to cronyism and corruption. Bad trade deals unwieldy regulations , now a days good jobs are hard to find.

Such was my thinking at that church.
I mean there was the crack house.
I'd see people come and go.
I was told everyone knew it was a crack house.
One time I was told when showing up for a choir practice watch that someone in a car came along and fired an AK47 burst into the air a half an hour earlier.
I suppose the "gangsta" was marking his territory--that having something to do with the crack house maybe.

Sounds better but I do think they ARE a different racial entity than the rest of us...you know...I call em: Parasitical Humanoids.

So if "Politicist" fits...you must acquit!

I would say a politicist.

If the people in those high crime area's want to get a service and can't , do to the provider of said services reluctance due to personal safety from crime. Here is a solution :turn in the bad guys, and reject the victimization game.

Same can be said for Bama's Birmingham. One of my last semiretired security guard jobs during 2013 was spending Sunday mornings walking around a Baptist church for blacks with a crack house across one corner of its parking lot.
I was also there for three hours every evening they a choir practice. During these times I got to sit in my car and listen to the radio because everyone parked in a nice tight group to make my job easy. It was Fox talk radio so I kept the volume down so as not to offend Obama voters.
My main function was to make sure no one broke into their cars.
I would definitely would not want to drive into that area give a stranger a ride.

Both cities have many areas that could be hazardous to a drivers health.

I think it mentions that they tried it in two locations, Boston and Los Angeles. Only having been a visitor to both and without a more specific area to focus in (every large city has its bad areas), I can only conjecture from that point.

The article doesn't mention anything about the pick-up location of the passengers. I wonder if that could have affected the alleged difference in drivers rate of passenger pick-ups.

I wouldn't give a politician a ride no matter how much they paid...guess I am a racist after all.
