I can't click the link so I didn't have that information.

Based upon commentary I'd read he'd claimed he didn't get a tip which is why he was upset.
All the more bizarre if the driver is ranting over a $5 pizza delivery tip.

I could have done without the snarky "math"guy jab, but hey, you followed up by showing me your 5th grade math skills as if I'd been served so that made me laugh so thanks for that.

The driver has been fired. Was the customer just 'overly-sensitive' like the Australian football star?

Free country. You are free to refer to anyone by any name in a free country. If you are offended by that, that too is your freedom.

Were any "acts" committed? No. So once again the liberal thought police are at it.

Why shouldn't the driver be defended? It's still a free country, right? We still have free speech, right?

this is a myth that whites buy from tv that blacks call each other the n word all the time.

im black, and ive never been called the n word by a black before.

you see that in the ghetto culture that white producers pawn off as the average black male to convince dumb white people that a majority of blacks act that way.

the majority of blacks are going to take offense to anyone calling them the n word, at least in my experiences.

I see it more than I'd like to. It DOES happen quite regularly. I think the word is a staple in gangsta rap music.

Strange, but maybe not, some people would believe that it's a "liberal" trait that people should address one another in a respectful and dignified manner.

Maybe in conservative land it's the norm to call Black people "ni66ers" after all that's the history Conservatives cling to.
