i understand....after years of serving black customers...lets be real, alotta nikkas are a$$holes...mainly black men, i understand why escorts say no bm

Nah, keep your racism or self hate to yourself. Why try and get people to consign your negative feelings towards Black men..

I drive for both. I kinda noticed it too. Cats will cancel numerous times until they get someone else, and my ratings are real good. I never have issues with any race so far tho, minus the few cancellations.

Blacks will ALWAYS be discriminated against in this society. This country's foundation is rooted in the enslavement and discrimination of black people. Also, our image and reputation has been successfully demonized globally. Black=violent, untrustworthy and inferior in the minds of many people worldwide. Not sure why people get shocked when these types of "studies" are released. If anything, it continues to show why black people should be MORE unified than we currently are.

Of the 3 times that I've used Uber, I was cancelled on once.

I do have an exotic name but I was also in SE DC. I guess that was a double whammy.

Y'all got factor in uber pays driver shyt, so there's cat out there gaming surges and working certain areas that have special incentives, it's deeper than black sounding names, there's a few more variables at play

I dont use my picture or full name on uber anyways but nothing here is suprising

This.

I use uber a lot (especially uber pool these days) and my account doesn't have my pic. hard enough to get a yellow cab here in NY and I'm not trying to have these same (caliber of) drivers trying to be on some pick and choose shyt when it comes to uber. now I know any driver is thirst to pick up a young white bytch with big t*ts but if you can pay for your ride and your rider rating is high then they need to do their damn job.

Because what the fukk do they expect when ya a cashless system anyway? Are they worried about being robbed? Only think of value They have on them is their phones/tablets.

Whatever the case, this discrimination shyt isn't surprising. When you solicit business from people who employ people who have contempt for you, this kinda shyt happens.

That's why I also stated that I was also in a not so good part of the city. I just looked at the trip again. It was an Arab that cancelled. That trip was $20 which is a pretty good penny for a cab. I'm glad my money ended up going to my own.

OAN: All three of my Uber driver's were Black men. I always tell people, I trust my own way more than others. And look who took care of me in all three instances - Black men. This just fuels my love of our men.

Uber rates both drivers and passengers, so if youre a good rider, you shouldn't have a problem. I use Uber countless times when i travel, from LA, Houston, DC, etc, and i've never had any issues getting an Uber. The problem is the fukking pricing bullshyt.

i can honestly say i've met some awesome people during my Uber driving experiences. Plus the cars tend to be nicer and newer than those filth mobiles these cabbies drive in.

Be mad you can't put food in the mouths of racists brehs

This.

Never used uber or lyft anyways. Never will.

The actual solution : Start our own service. Problem solved.

What we'll do : Protest, march, tweet, sing, dance, hug our oppressors, cry on camera, and beg the demoncrats to do something about it.

And don't forget to add posting on the coli without actually doing anything on that list as well

When I drove for Lyft I never really cared. The most "rachet" people always take the longer rides. Now if you call me on some bullshyt I will role on you, wait for you to start walking up to my car, cancel on your ass, speed away and then turn the app off. There are certain groups of people that stayed funky though.

I agree

 

[BmoreGorilla]

Why lol?

They usually need to be picked up from the market. Takes them more time to put all their bags in the car than its does to take them home

No picture and a random cac name.




Still I'm not surprised and Phonzi said it best. If you're black sooner or later you realise how you are viewed worldwide.
