They're the invisible niggers of the work world. You get in the car and give them orders and favor them with a bit of chit-chat if you're in the mood.
In Montreal you can add to that the right of the drunken white passengers to abuse the black driver.
So it came as quite a shock to the superior folks of Montreal to see Guercy Edmond released on bail today.
Edmond was the unlucky nigger who picked up three drunk white guys last weekend.
Almost all the cab drivers in Montreal are guys who are recent immigrants from visible minorities. Guess that's what they have in common with cab drivers in every big city in North America.
There are many reasons for that, all of which are subjects for another post or somebody's doctorate, and none of which are an excuse to treat the cab driver like he's some sort of untermensch.
Hang in there Mr. Edmond.
