#WhileBlack in @Uber @Uber_Support
Uber driver asked me whether I was going to an unsafe area of the city because I was black and threatened to put me out because I called him on it. FULL video here @ShaunKing https://www.facebook.com/exavierpope/posts/1537324739907978 …pic.twitter.com/nX8Lr4QCKf
Yes! We can’t have drivers profiling riders treating them like criminals. We deserve to live and breathe in society without our humanity threatened at every turn
Seriously, I’d rather be spending my Saturday morning doing something else. However, I know it’s countless black people without a platform who experience this everyday and have to just shake it off. No more.

I’ve spoken on the phone with Uber over their discrimination policy and they are escalating to legal and PR. A news story comes out at 10pm. I am committed to ensuring Uber changes and updates its policies to protect riders and users of the platform from discriminatory profiling
Shaun: don’t use Uber. A company that supports preemption bills, deregulation of consumer protections, suing NYC to make sure they don’t have to serve those with disabilities, and not to mention the federal probes. They are against unions. Unless Uber trumps progressive values.
