BLACK WOMEN SUCK AT DRIVING

Now, this isn't meant to be a racist post, but if people want to take it that way, so be it. But after nearly getting killed in downtown Columbia, it's got to be said.

Black women are by far the most unsafely aggressive drivers here in Columbia.

Now, it's not to say that there aren't some dangerously aggressive white males or asian female drivers here, but odds are, if someone does something that makes me think "What the f--- is that driver doing?" the person behind the wheel is much more likely to be a black woman than any other combination of race and gender. I wish I knew what the reason behind this was, but the fact of the matter is that this is what happens more often than not when I'm driving around Columbia.

For example, I was waiting to turn left as two people walking were crossing the street. When I start to move, a green minivan takes a turn, right in front of me. Did not stop at the light (the light had turned red as I was waiting to turn), didn't use a turn signal, and didn't even slow down. So when I pulled next to her, of course, she was black.

I'm not sure if this is a South Carolina, Columbia, or nationwide thing. Alot of it has to do with the fact that this is the first time where I've lived in an area that black women made up more than 1% of the drivers on the road. But in any case, when I was driving back from getting my oil changed and saw a State Trooper had pulled someone over on the side of the road. The driver? A black woman.
