More Leftist Idiocy Provided by Al Roker

Al Roker has taken to Social Media to slam a NYC cabbie for passing him up because he was black.“Filed a complaint today after getting passed up again by a NYC Yellow cab. Cabbie picked up a white guy a block away. Wonder why Uber wins?” Roker wrote on Twitter Saturday.

“This happens to folks of color every day. And while most cabbies do their job, there are those ignorant, racist ones who hurt the others,” he continued.

Is Al Roker the only the only black man in New York City ? 

Did the idiot Al Roker ever mention the ethnicity of the cab driver ?

It is well known that cabs don't pick up black people. Where have you been?

It's actually pretty interesting to see it in action here in Chicago, where many of the cab drivers themselves are black and obviously a large part of the community is black.

With all the black on black crime, I don't blame them.

Mentioning Breitbart and journalism in the same paragraph is rightist idiocy !

Why do you call this "leftist" idiocy?

As if leftists are the only people who would be pissed-off it they felt they were a victim of racial discrimination?

This is, of course, untrue. A groundless claim that smacks of right-wing confirmation bias.

A conservative, GOP black man would likely also be angry if he thought himself to be victimized by a racist act.

Also, have yo ever been discriminated against? Been a minority who was taunted or otherwise not treated well?

I sorta doubt it.

I have. And believe me, it made me angry. And I am definitely not a lefty.

Next?

LOL
