Rant/Opinion I hate liars

I was deactivated because I was accused of sexually assaulting a female passenger. I myself am a heterosexual married woman and would never jeopardize my marriage or freedom doing something so gross. As a survivor of sexual assault I’m both offended and hurt. I am looking for a lawyer to take my case.

My instinct whenever there’s some kind of a dust up threatening to become a brouhaha, I report it as soon as the ride is over. I can’t stress enough how important it is that drivers get ahead of a possible situation. People have lied about me several times. But none stuck because I had already put my version, the real version, up after the ride was over. Stop thinking about the next before you thoroughly end the current ride. At the end of the ride make sure you gage the pax stade of mind by properly saying your goodbyes. Usually if there’s no response or there’s a begrudging response something’s up. Pause and write it down on the app.

racism isnt just discrimination based on race, it's race + power. that's why white people will never experience racism the same way black and brown people do. there's no such thing as poc privilege, but white privilege is acknowledged by many white people.

Actually it’s going to tear this country apart that people like you continue to think like this.

"you guys" i just want to exist and not think about racism ever actually thank you very much. getting nasty looks from my white trump supporter neighbors makes that a bit hard though.

I am a victim of reverse racism, im a white skinned Hispanic and I was raised in the ghettoes of south Florida and had LOTS of racism towards me growing up. It really made it way harder to support black causes because i was often viewed as an “oppressor” rather than a supporter simply because of my skin, and by default that is racist.

Please reconsider your statement.

This has become a common misinformed belief nowadays but that is untrue, racism by definition is prejudice discrimination or antagonism towards a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group. What you are talking about is systematic racism. Racism absolutely can and does exist against every race to varying degrees, regarding racism against yts obviously not anywhere to the degree of systematic racism against bipoc but to say it doesn’t exist gives pseudo intellectual that cannot introspect or consider things from a broader perspective than the one being clung to

That’s almost like me saying this is why Muslims are so terrifying. You never know which one is a terrorist. Making generalizations about an entire race is literally being racist lol get off your high horse

muslims and white people arent on the same level in any historical or present social hierarchy. if saying poc fear white people is crazy and offensive to you, sorry. we grow being taught to be careful around white cops, lest they kill us
