"I have to hail a cab for my black friends sometimes."

Luke Russert on The Cycle - talking about the reality of the age we're living in.

Makes me like the kid a little better.

If the DUmmies would be honest and acknowledge the real crime statistics they would have to admit that avoiding black men in certain situations is a prudent product of reality - not "racism".

I am tired of pretending for PC's sake that some black people, and black men particularly, don't have a major role in how they are perceived by other people of all races, other blacks included.

Fernando Mateo, a black hispanic, said this:

Mateo said roughly 300 taxi drivers in New York City are robbed or assaulted each month. There are some 13,000 taxis in the city and more than 40,000 other for-hire vehicles.

Mateo said cab drivers should watch out for passengers wearing "gang colors, someone that is hiding his facial features and someone whose behavior isn't appropriate."

"We need to profile their behavior in order for us to save ourselves from the criminal element in our community," he said.

Mateo said he's undergone a barrage of criticism from several civil rights groups since first making similar remarks over the weekend.

"I'm advising Hispanic and black drivers to watch out for Hispanics and blacks that represent a criminal element of our community," he said.

On rainy nights, I make the run to the Quik Trip to buy the iced tea and Skittles for my black friends.  That's the reality of the age that we're living in.

Polichick must be the queen of mean Lisa Lampinelli. Lisa loves dating and living with black men. She call them her "friends".

1. That is truly awful.

It is awful. Next thing you know cabbies will be saying this:

Those cab driving rascals!

But really, when was the last time you saw a white cab driver (except on Cash Cab)?

Excellent point, Rebel.  Everyone with a Che avatar and/or tshirt is a filthy racist, deserving to be thrown to the howling mob.

15. So sad in a country that considers itself a "beacon of hope."

Deal with it. They do have hope. Hope that they won't be beaten, shot, or stiffed with a fare.
