There's a YouTube video of African immigrant taxi drivers in NYC merrily stating that they won't pick up black Americans because of fare jumping and other issues. One claimed that he could tell who was native born and who wasn't.

We've finally come full circle to the point where calling out racism is now racist. Pack it up folks, it's time to go home.

We've banned that account but please don't make the thread even worse like this. We want curious conversation, not boilerplate battle.
