  7. Have any of you as a black male tried to get a cab in DC ? I went to DC and in broad daylight the cabs were just driving past refusing to stop.

    I even got caught in a storm/heavy rain.
    I had to go to a hotel lobby and ask them to call a cab for me.

    Later that evening I was out with a white lady and I did not even bother trying to hail a cab myself. I asked her to call the cab and then we would both get in.

    When this is happening to you, you get angry. I even joked with the taxi drivers once I was in their cabs that if their president was on his own, he could not get a cab in Washington DC.

    But although it can be humiliating and painful to have cabs drive past you, I understand why they do it. It is a shame.

    This is the reason, because the African Americans have become so dysfunctional, violent and demonised that they pull a gun at the slightest issue.

    Black people are doing this to themselves and then they complain about racism. May his soul rest in peace and the Lord be with his family.

  14. I live in Maryland and DC is one of the most dangerous areas for anyone talk less of a cab driver at night. I know its too late, but he shouldn't have argued with them over 75 cents. You never know who's carrying a gun, and nothing is worth arguing over cos your life is more important. Even if you're riding a Bentley and they want it at gun point, you give it to them cos guess what? they don't get too far before the police catches up with them. Number one lesson in America... don't ever argue with anyone on the streets especially these young useless boys cos you never know who's carrying a gun. May his soul rest in peace!

  27. At least the guy was arrested and the law will very likely be upholded, which is more than I can say for Naij if it had happened here, and with the kind of stories we hear these days anything is possible in this bloody country.

  34. They are many mad people all over the world. It very unfortunate that while trying to feed his family he ran into death. The cab fare was more tha 75cents and he just wanted to collect his full fare . Unfortunally he met with one of the crazy ones on d street of DC. Who took his life. My his soul RIP

  39. These akatas are so evil. That is why they will know no peace and amount to nothing in life. They are such a nuisance here in America and are hateful, loathsome creatures. Sigh!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Just listening to you all talk akata this and akata that...look at how you generalize as if naija is better. As if you don't have people bombing here and there and taking innocent lives, police corruption and such. At least there will be upholdment of the law and justice served over here, which is more than I can say for your side.

    I wonder if we take some of the stories we here about in naija what kind of generalizations we can say about africans....just a thought

    ReplyDelete
  41. @Locs Galore
    Nigeria is no better and if this happened in Naija, we will criticize too. The point of the matter is, too many akatas are taking the lives of innocent people in the United States. I know of a promising young Naija man coming back from classes at night and got shot and killed by some useless akata mofos wsanting to rob him. Then you wonder why you have white flight and whites refusing to share a neighborhood with blacks. If that was a white american who shot and killed an akata taxi driver, the whole world will not hear word. Jesse Jackson and the other guy with jerry curls/permed hair will be all over the place screaming rascism! I hate and dispise hypocrites who scream rascism like akatas do when akatas are the most rascist set of blacks I have ever had the unfortunate opportunity to encounter. That is why ya'll are on my shit list!

  42. @Annon November 14, 2011 6:14PM
    Precisely! The hatred I have encountered from akatas rival the rascism I experience from the whites. In fact, oyinbos and akatas will cause one not to enjoy one's stay in the states. Thank God, I no longer live in the states anymore. I might choose to visit but to live there again is an absolute no, no. Akatas are cursed I swear. And then locs galore is here talking rubbish. Who cares what fucking american non entities including those who do not know where the hell in Africa they once originated from think of Africans? Are you demented heffers God? Anyways, may the bloody, God-forsaken akata who killed this driver also get killed by another or some white KKK follower! If you live by the sword, you die by the sword. End of.

  43. I'm talking rubbish right, whatever. Who here with a brain thinks that what occurred was right? Obviously it was senseless and the person that did it was senseless and deserves to be punished to the full extent of the law.

    But what I'm talking about is you over there generalizing about ALL akatas as if you over there don't have senselss idiots doing the same, if not worse and guess what....THEY GET AWAY WITH IT. So please spare me, okay. All you do is watch TV about Americans over here and generalize , or you have a few encounters and it is as if it is so much better over there.

    What if I talk about my encounters over there in naija, or read the news about something that occurred and say "those naija folks man, you can not trust them, they will scam you, see 419". Or what about the kidnappings, the bombings, the roberries, the list goes on and on. Hello, do you know what you guys are known for outside of naija. Should I then characterize all nigerians as such? Wake up and use your brain.

  44. @Anonymous 6:14PM, are you kidding me, didn't Linda just post a story about some folks storming a university and robbing, wounding, and killing some students in naija. Like I said you all are hypocrites...like you don't have the same thing or ten times worse going on....mmmmsscchhheeww. Even the law is corrupt so you have no recourse....I feel sorry for you cuz you point the finger as if your country shit don't stink. It's not about where it's happening cuz crazy shit happens everywhere, no matter if you are here in America or there in Nigeria so people, come off your high horse.
