And fought for black civil rights as I don't see much diff btwn black and white.<br /><br />But that doesn't mean I'll pick up obvious taxi street jerks regardless of color.<br /><br />One time I was coming up Taylor en route from SFO to the Hilton with a white lady passenger.<br /><br />I saw this black guy a block away who started running for the cab. I locked the windows and he reached the cab before I could get out of traffic. He spit both on the right front window and right rear window in front of the lady passenger's face.<br /><br />What's that, she asked?<br /><br />That's welcome to San Francisco I said.<br /><br />I don't think the law is that we have to use reverse racism to pick up jerks.<br /><br />Our intuition IS a major first line of defense. But our current crack taxi director ignored my and Tara's request for a panic button left side dash going right into 911. And there's much more, but I'll shut up now.<br /><br />Dave Schneider<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
