Just would like to pass [View all]

a couple of experiences I've had concerning two people women who are AA who got rides from me in my capacity as a ride share driver.
Both women over the course of a month and one half had been run off the road on the same expressway, trumpland territory, by 'good old boys' in their souped up dodge rams and ford 350's with the mad max crash bars on the front of their 'beasts'.

One telling me her experience was close to tears in relating her story because her young child was in the car. She was injured, but not badly, but car was pretty messed up, her words. The other dumb fuck ran her off the road but also miscalculated and ended up rolling over himself...she made a police report when they arrived, he got injured enough to be transported, according to her, yet nothing legal has transpired yet. She had retained a lawyer.

Just a heads up people. I remember my parents warning me that when I started driving to be aware of my surroundings, AT ALL TIMES. DRIVING IS A FULL TIME JOB, that from my driver training instructor. In the old south if a then negro had a car they ran the risk of this happening. Evidently, if you have an Obama sticker, HRC sticker or are AA this racist behavior is back. Be careful.
