Okay list, I have one thing that disturbs me greatly, cab's and why many of the drivers will not pick up african americans at any of the stops in downtown Minneapolis, especially when they, the cab drivers are black like me.
It is very frustrating to walk up to a cab, and be told, take the one behind me, and when you go to that one, he says take the one behind me or I am waiting on somebody. Then there are times, when the cab driver downright refuses to make a quick stop by a store, or to take you grocery shopping. I thought we had cab inspectors, that are supposed to regulate cab drivers, that work for the city.
Where are they, and why aren't they cracking down on this horrible problem. I remember a few years ago, Bill Cosby addressed this problem and it seemed to be good for a while, but, now I guess it is back to the norm. I think it's wrong to past somebody because they are not a hugh fair or not going to the airport.
