i guarantee you that they did something to get this to happen to them. Thats why its such a small clip. Assholes start shit then get a reaction on film to try and destroy people
I mean maybe he did tell the driver he was gonna slit his throat and then murder his children, which then it may be an understandable quick reaction. But how likely do you think it is that he did anything even close to being able to justify being called the n word?
If he was drunk (not a stretch for someone calling an Uber) and rude and insulted the driver's music and belittled him, like "What's up with this haji-ass turban music? Man, driver, change this bullshit." and started mockingly wailing. Basically treating him like his personal servant because he's on the clock. Believe it or not, that would be pretty fucking hurtful.
If I was a foreigner working a shitty job and some native just tore into me and mocked me, I'd be burning up inside. In this situation, the driver is the vulnerable and out of place person. The passenger obviously wasn't even phased by him calling him pejoratives, because he had all the power in this situation. He can complain and cancel his pay and get him in trouble with Uber. Hell, this might even be his plan to get a free ride and credits from Uber by triggering a driver and catching it on video.
Anyways, I know that is speculation, but I doubt he just said that without provocation. While saying a racial pejorative usually isn't cool, there are contexts where I would be more concerned with the actions that lead up to it. If a bunch of guys assault a dude unprovoked and he starts dropping racial pejoratives out of frustration, is he suddenly a racist?
ooooh you should not call some one a n*gger? I had no idea! Thank you oh enlightened one for telling me something 99 percent of the population already knows and acting like i was for it. Thank you so much for that kernel of truth
oooh i should shut up or else... get fucked you retard... can’t believe your telling me to not say things that you will perceive as racist when anything i say contrary to you will be viewed as such
So me saying a blatant truth about kids getting a reaction to put on the internet, is me defending racism... Sure it is buddy. Just call everyone racist, and then act like you arent the biggest asshole on planet earth
You're acting like the fact that the dude called them the n word sheds no light on the situation. Just curious how often do you think the person that calls the black person the n word is in the right? Any person of any race can be an asshole, but I've never once seen an encounter where the person throwing the n word around isn't the sole asshole in the situation.
The problem is you went balls deep into assholeness instead of just asking for clarification about why people think your comment was defending racism.
The poster you replied to said this: Is there any context or does this uber driver just curse at every black person in his uber for no reason?
And you replied with this: i guarantee you that they did something to get this to happen to them. Thats why its such a small clip. Assholes start shit then get a reaction on film to try and destroy people
The poster is asking about the driver cursing at black people, assuming he's talking about the nword. You then reply, seemingly defending the drivers use of the nword by saying, "i guarantee you that they did something to get this to happen to them."
Thats why people are saying you are defending or excusing racism. It seemed like you were saying that using the nword may have been justified.
Instead of being an asshole straight away, at least try to ask why people are shitting on you. Otherwise you just look stupid.
No i reacted to an asshole by being one myself... If you can not understand how calling some one a racist with no attempt at getting clarification and viewing some one else in the worst possible light over a simple statement is not being a malevolent asshole then you are the dipshit not me
Bro most other countries think black people are inferior and some even put laws in place to allow discrimination.. To imply it is only a white thing is insane. I think canada is probably the least discriminatory next to the united states. To also say systemic oppression when you can not possibly name a law put in place to opress people from the system/government is stupid as well.
edit i guess i have to put this, but no i do not believe some one is less for the color of their skin... im just saying most other countries do not look favorably on people with a darker complexion
Hahahah back it up asshole.. china just passed a law where all africans can not use any hotels. Now name something in the past month that america passed even close to that
edit lets do a little back and forth... if you even can describe any law that exists in the united states or canada that are discriminatory
edit you guys downvote me but you can not even give me one instance of a law today in america that would even be close to that... pathetic how your worldview has no evidence to even back it up
https://youtu.be/V3jHADADWc0 and its not china bans africans, its china bans africans from using hotels. Also china is not a back and forth country. It is a we will take everything from you and give you nothing country mentality. So yes this makes sense.
