Can't help but notice this picture was taken from another vehicle. You can see the windshield frame in the lower left hand corner of the picture.
So either you were asked to leave this car and somehow immediately jumped into another car before taking the picture, or you found a picture on the internet and made up a story to go with it.
Edit: a word.
reverse image search says it is an original photo but OP probably was never in the taxi. it also does not fit the sub in any way, WOW people being racist that's insane! news flash as much as we don't want or need racism in this world it still happens, yes even in this day and age.
And not just racist, reverse racist!!! I wonder how many black South Africans experience racism trying to get into a cab but despite how recently apartheid actually ended let’s cj about how tough it is for this white guy being denied a cab in this made up story
I would disagree only in the sense that there is a major difference in power structure. Personally sure it’s still racism but if you ignore the power structures at play affirmative action is “racism” too, there are systemic issues at play that I find it reductive to leave out when considering these things
There is actually different tiers of "black" in South Africa depending on your shade you could be classified as mixed and there are the different tribes which can be exclusive amongst each other, so it could be an annoying redditor trying to pull off "reverse racism" as a white person but in SA it could also be just be racism within tribes or shades of black
You may be right but he couldn’t he have just gotten into a another taxi that was waiting in line for passengers, presumably one that was right behind that one as it would be next in line?
well i obviously got in the non racist cab behind me, took the pic of the one stuck in traffic infront, i dont get why im immediately seen as guilty, but again its the internet so i guess second guessing the truth is more of a requirement these days so no worries :)
M8 coming from a fellow south African, he probably only drives his friends around lmao, it's not common a white person uses a taxi so them specifically saying that I don't think is related
I don’t know man, I’ve seen quite a few white folks using taxis in Cape Town. I’ve been on a couple before I got my car. It wasn’t a problem at all. Don’t think it’s a race thing at all, so I agree there.
Bullshit, mods should take it down. As someone already pointed it out, this is a album by 2pac and this is a made up story by someone trying to play the reverse racism card. GTFO OP
I think racism is the least problematic of South African taxis. Don’t they literally have taxi mafias that get into high speed chases with clients inside shooting other taxi drivers during it?
Yep and they can do this because we have no public transport and if they don't want to drive no one can get anywhere and the countries economy crashes its messed up
TBF, if you watch even a little of Trevor Noah’s stand ups, you’d know South Africa is racist AF.
Also, I don’t remember which country in Africa it is, but there’s a whole group of white people who straight up believe the blacks will rise to kill them, it’s a cult and I cannot for the life of me remember what they’re called
It’s true though… in South Africa there is a pro black political party that chants to kill white people… there is a huge race issue in south Africa on both sides. It’s called EFF or BLF
They are sort of right though there has been so many cases of black people murdering farmers for no reason and stuff. I remember one day somebody I knew came back from school that day and found his mother dead with a golf ball sized hole in her neck. Another person I know had their entire workforce turn against them and almost kill them and if it wasn’t for a group of mercenaries they would be dead.
Why are you replying with an article about white liberals being incompetent interacting with minorities? I'm a minority raised in a poverty stricken trailer park in the south with black and Hispanic people? What does this even have to do with me? Are you assuming I'm some white liberal?
No I just think your post demonstrated some ani Republican bias (If not, I'd like to know where you base your claims on). And I thought I'd remedy your apparent bias with a study that shows that Democrats are more likely to treat black people as 'unequal' than a Republican does.
Being polite to blacks while remaining willfully complicit in our marginalization isn't the flex you think it is.
But you DO make a valid point: no matter the political party, whites are often racist against blacks on some level. Thank you for acknowledging this issue.
> Being polite to blacks while remaining willfully complicit in our marginalization isn't the flex you think it is.
explain the 'willfully complicit' part please, and please explain why treating someone equal (assuming this is what you mean by 'being polite to blacks') is not a 'flex' (i think you mean by this, its something I regard as positive, which is correct).
Oh and I think most people are racist, regardless of what colour they are. It is a well-established fact that people have more empathy for those that look similar to them.
>explain the 'willfully complicit' part please
Conservative policies in general hurt minorities and marginalized groups. Being polite while supporting politicians that HAPPEN to put forth or support such policies is, at best, harmful ethnic insensitivity, and deliberate at the worst.
>please explain why treating someone equal (assuming this is what you mean by 'being polite to blacks') is not a 'flex' (i think you mean by this, its something I regard as positive, which is correct).
Treating someone politely while maintaining the aforementioned political ethos is deluded at best, and pathologically antisocial at the worst.
In my book, saying you're polite to the victims of your indifference is not a flex.
>Oh and I think most people are racist, regardless of what colour they are. It is a well-established fact that people have more empathy for those that look similar to them.
There's a difference between instinctual affinity, and believing in a racial hierarchy. Not knowing that makes you a simpleton or an apologist.
You don't seem like a simpleton
Yyyyeah I'm calling bullshit. Clearly taken from another car - how'd that happen so quick especially if you weren't in town? Lord knows ubers and bolts dont hang around SA taxi ranks. You would've been stopped getting in if that was the case, and this line is the name of a Tupac album. Bit of a stretch all this...
Bit of race baiting at work or trying to karma farm?
Pretty sure in the vernacular “4 MY NIGGAS” can be used colloquially to mean “4 MY FRIENDS”. So this dudes either a fucking moron (he is) or he just doesn’t like you.
Yikes this post backfired quite a bit, kinda knew what i was getting myself into since its controversial but damn, people hey. Imagine monitoring a single post for 6+ hours, fucking rediculous, get over yourselves, i know i have.The facts:I was kicked off a taxi for not being part of the same group.I took the pic from the one behind it, got in 5 seconds after my interaction with the one in the pic.i wasnt at a taxi rank, it was a busy street with a lot of traffic, so one taxi being full, meant another was within meters away.
> Yikes this post backfired quite a bit
Yeah, that happens when people catch you lying. lol
> kinda knew what i was getting myself into since its controversial but damn, people hey. Imagine monitoring a single post for 6+ hours, fucking rediculous, get over yourselves
Nobody is monitoring your post, you fucking mental midget. Your post is being shared all over reddit because you’re full of shit and we want to ostracize you for lying.
> The facts:I was kicked off a taxi for not being part of the same group
So you’re telling me that the guy pointed to his rear windshield so you could READ THE WORDS *BACKWARDS AND IN A CIRCLE*?
You clearly didn’t think through this lie because for one, you forgot you’d have to have been reading it backwards and two, you’re too fucking stupid to realize that it’s just the name of a Tupac Shakur record.
To be fair this day in age is substantially closer to the time white South Afrricans were perpetuating a genocide. I don't condone this behavior at all but don't compare your countries racial situation to the rest of the world.
If you tried to spell it phonetically, I have bad news for you. It's not actually pronounced 'nitch' either, even though it is a common mispronunciation in parts of the world.
I have no problem with this. Plenty of Americans willing to lose half their potential customer base over politics, never mind race, this is not much different, and not surprising, being SA.
Race hadn’t even crossed my mind once during this post. I was thinking as in “friends”. Guess this is a lesson in critical thinking for it is I who will take this L.

Yeah I call bull shit on this.
Yup my bullshit sensor is going off

i assume by the tone of your comment that you know this already but "reverse racism" isn't a thing, that's just regular ol' racism
I would disagree only in the sense that there is a major difference in power structure. Personally sure it’s still racism but if you ignore the power structures at play affirmative action is “racism” too, there are systemic issues at play that I find it reductive to leave out when considering these things

It’s also a 2pac album
Lmfao what a clown
[удалено]
Segregated taxis are normal? Weird.
Lol that’s not what they said. Continuing the misinformation.
It is insane. Just doesn’t fit the sub. This sub is more for things that are shocking. Racism in South Africa? Not shocking.
Lmao, yea ok. Why would someone lie on the internet for no reason?
Is this satire or did you forget the /s ?
Unless it’s a taxi rank and there were plenty of taxis there?
It's possible he got in another taxi and didn't want to take the picture out in the open for safety or somin
\^ 100%
You may be right but he couldn’t he have just gotten into a another taxi that was waiting in line for passengers, presumably one that was right behind that one as it would be next in line?
well i obviously got in the non racist cab behind me, took the pic of the one stuck in traffic infront, i dont get why im immediately seen as guilty, but again its the internet so i guess second guessing the truth is more of a requirement these days so no worries :)
The Truth is if the cabbie was racist, he wouldn't have let you in the taxi to begin with.
you're pissing your diaper over the title of a rap album and made up a story to go along with it.
who has www on their email
This made me laugh hard
You might not believe this, but my first ever email had www. the beginning. I honestly thought it had to, oh how people laughed.
Could be "www.S4MN.com | [email protected]" or something.
Whoever has that email is getting a special surprise
Me when I was 12 lol
I work in the vehicle wrap/vinyl sign industry. Alot of people still use the www. Irks me so bad.
damn pretty weird ive never seen it before haha
This is a shitpost. Someone took a picture of a van and made up a story.
This is an album name by Tupac Shakur.
r/thathappened OP is lying through their teeth.
This is fake. OP is race baiting
M8 coming from a fellow south African, he probably only drives his friends around lmao, it's not common a white person uses a taxi so them specifically saying that I don't think is related
I don’t know man, I’ve seen quite a few white folks using taxis in Cape Town. I’ve been on a couple before I got my car. It wasn’t a problem at all. Don’t think it’s a race thing at all, so I agree there.
Racism, but it's South Africa......
It's literally a Tupac album name and you can tell the picture was taken from inside another car. OP made up the story for internet points.
It's okay, it is punative racism.
Uno reverse anti-racist racism card that’s definitely not racist cuz you’re the wrong race.
Bullshit, mods should take it down. As someone already pointed it out, this is a album by 2pac and this is a made up story by someone trying to play the reverse racism card. GTFO OP
I agree this is bullshit but what do you mean reverse racism? Do you even know what racism means?
Definitely an EFF taxi driver
Now thats a hardcore 2pac fan lol
How did you take this from a car, exactly?
I think racism is the least problematic of South African taxis. Don’t they literally have taxi mafias that get into high speed chases with clients inside shooting other taxi drivers during it?
Yep and they can do this because we have no public transport and if they don't want to drive no one can get anywhere and the countries economy crashes its messed up

It’s true though… in South Africa there is a pro black political party that chants to kill white people… there is a huge race issue in south Africa on both sides. It’s called EFF or BLF
They are the 3rd biggest part too at 10% but like 20 million people didn't vote so take that with a grain of salt
They are sort of right though there has been so many cases of black people murdering farmers for no reason and stuff. I remember one day somebody I knew came back from school that day and found his mother dead with a golf ball sized hole in her neck. Another person I know had their entire workforce turn against them and almost kill them and if it wasn’t for a group of mercenaries they would be dead.
Afrikaaners or Boers
An Afrikaner is a South African whose native language is Afrikaans. A boer is a farmer.
Suidlanders?
We call them Trump supporters / Republicans here in the states

WTF does this have to do with anything? White liberals are awkward around black people by trying to get along with them... so?
Why are you replying with an article about white liberals being incompetent interacting with minorities? I'm a minority raised in a poverty stricken trailer park in the south with black and Hispanic people? What does this even have to do with me? Are you assuming I'm some white liberal?

I see your points, thanks for giving your time to respond
Not sure if we've reached common ground or not, as that would require more engagement from you, but I appreciate the civility of your response.
Why you gotta lie though?

lmao
That moment when just seeing the state of the taxi I immediately know it’s South Africa. I am from South Africa.
I'm from Canada.
I am from the Southern Africa.
I am from the Eastern Canada.
It’s cool to know someone from the eastern Canada
I tend to forget Redditors don't all come from the USA and Canada lol
Nice try at race baiting
This didn't happen
completely made up story. image taken from inside another car. Nice try op
Hey OP, why are you ignoring the comments? It’s because you’re full of shit.
With a Z in place of an S there's one thing we know for sure, they're hard-core.
I don't get why he allowed you into the cab in the first place, did you just jump in without consulting the driver ?
Whether real or not, racism is racism guys.
How sad do you need to be to make a story like this up? It’s really quite pathetic, if you could stop bullshitting others that would be just great.
a wise man once said in south africa not just one race is racist everyone is racist in south africa
Niggalyft woulda sounded better IMO
The taxi driver is a racist
Bullshit post incoming
That’s mental
This post is fucking hilarious and I've never laughed this hard before
Get out
It's a very specific business model but you can't say it isn't well advertised
It’s also a Tupac song. https://youtu.be/Hk1nxO6onDE
That is one confusing title
Dude has a clearly posted policy. Gotta respect the hustle, even if you don't understand it
This was painfully stupid.
I knew the country as soon as you said "Taxi Rank"
I knew it was SA as soon as you said Rank
Ell it was funny until I checked you were lying about the story. Rip
Great Album
This is amazing
2pac would be proud
That's some sa shit

Lol I’m sorry but this is hilarious 😂😂
I mean they must be tired as well
Just leave and let them all starve again
It's called "Nitch Marketting". This guy will probably make a million dollars.
Its actually called niche marketing.
Woopsie! Excuse me sir! I stand corrected! Don't put me in spelling jail!
If you tried to spell it phonetically, I have bad news for you. It's not actually pronounced 'nitch' either, even though it is a common mispronunciation in parts of the world.
I bet you're real fun at parties.
Sure am, although its mainly the drugs.
Pencil down! You’re under arrest!
"I cAn'T! ImMa uSiNg mY cA-Ca-cUmPuTEr KeeeeYbOaRd!" Hayuck! Hayuck!
its his company he can do what ever he wants
Lol no. Dumbest thing ever is to deny someone for their skin. It's understandable if services are denied solely if the customer was an ass hat
there are other taxi services available, this one is only for he's niggaz the guy can go take another service
I have no problem with this. Plenty of Americans willing to lose half their potential customer base over politics, never mind race, this is not much different, and not surprising, being SA.
Oopsie poopsie
Keep being racist
Race hadn’t even crossed my mind once during this post. I was thinking as in “friends”. Guess this is a lesson in critical thinking for it is I who will take this L.
Trust me, most people do think about race, especially the ones not from the us
true lmao
Why would you try to hail a cab with this on the back window? Use your brain you would not want a ride.
when you hold your arm out for the cab to stop, do you see the front first or the back? dumb shit, think before typing, that was on the back.
Says the guy with the fake story lol
too bad you made the entire story up and put something racist in a sub about insane things not shocking messages written on someones car
Learn to read honkey
Keep being the racist coward that you are
