I can't relate. I'm a 5 star passenger that only takes rides from 5 star drivers and I only rate drivers 5 stars.

The moment you rate a driver too low, they rate you low, and then you start getting low rated drivers who do low rate shyt.

I stay in the 5 star algorithm :troll:

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.
Right if you're willing pay the surge you should have np getting a ride, but peeps are selective in certain areas and have certain strategies that are profitable.

It's kinda complicated to explain.

I'm not furious at all. I just love calling out you and your agenda. And "everyone" didn't agree with you

What agenda? Are you stupid or something? Do you not realize that "media propaganda" is one of the most effective weapons being used today against black people? Do you not know that the intentional demonization of the black image and reputation has been going on since we were brought over here? And since YOU brought it up, do you not understand that hiphop has been used purposely to keep the most negative images of black people in mainstream consciousness? Its arguably the #1 reason why people globally connects negative stereotypes to ALL black people:

Study how "media propaganda" has been used against certain groups of people throughout history.




Alot of these rappers are intentionally given the biggest platform to perpetuate the most negative stereotypes of black people. Notice how mainly the rappers who conduct themselves like buffoons, thugs and outright savages are constantly pushed to the forefront of the mainstream. This is done purposely to keep the image of blacks as that of violent, ignorant, unintelligent, irresponsible, etc.

Here's an interesting thread about how the black image has been purposely manipulated and distorted throughout history well before hiphop ever existed:

http://www.thecoli.com/threads/iden...s-brutes-c00ns-toms-and-sapphires-etc.221290/

Hip-hop culture is currently being used today in this manipulation of the black image.


If you don't understand this tactic of white supremacy by now then maybe YOU'RE the dumb a55. The fact that you always angrily quote my posts tells me I'm doing my job:obama:

I'm gonna keep making agents of misinformation like you furious:ufdup:

Breh, you're furious:mjgrin:

And you're dumb ass keeps blaming hip hop :stopitslime:

Now lets try this again. What exactly are you in such disagreement about with my initial post:

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.

Why did this post strike such a nerve with you that you had to quote it and name call the poster? What do you disagree with?

You're making excuses for other people's ignorance:mjlol:

You're falling in line with the ignorant MF's who buy into the idea that all black people are violent:mjlol:

Do you belive that all people from the Middle East are terrorists?

Ignorance + media propaganda goes hand in hand. Why is this so hard for you to understand:wow:

And "ignorance" doesn't necessarily mean "stupid". Ignorance can stem from just not being around a certain group of people. If all you see mainly of a group of people is what you see in the media then you're gonna paint individuals with the same stereotypes that you've seen in the media. Black people are the MOST demonized in the media, this is why threads like this exist.

The task of picking up a group of young black men at 2am is :merchant: for certain people who has fell for the stereotypes that blacks are violent and irresponsible.
