Useless and Out of Control

Sunday, May 10th, 2015

Baltimore-resident James Lafond talks to a 35-year-old Nigerian cab driver at 2:30 in the morning during the recent troubles:

“Sir, thank Dear Jesus above that I am alive! I made good money tonight. People did not want the buses, were being targeted at bus stops. I was driving down Eastern Avenue into Canton and Fells Point to see if anyone needed a ride. You know, Sir, it is all yuppies moving in up there. The demographics have changed, and these yuppies cannot fend for themselves. So I was looking out for them, suspecting a need for help. I got to Fell’s Point and the blacks were coming with sticks and bricks so I pulled out. Not a cop in sight.

“I headed back east up this way looking for needful people. As I was crossing Alicane I saw ten black men with heavy clubs. They were about to cross the street. On the other side of the street was this blonde woman, just standing, wondering, waiting for the bus — a woman of the yuppies. I U-turned and pulled up, saying, ‘Miss get in, quick!’

“She dove in and I pulled off with the blacks in pursuit.

[This guy is blacker than any American black I have met. I like his accent.]

“The lady directed me to her home at Highland and Fayette. When I pulled across Highland these fifteen black men wave me over to them. They wanted the blonde woman!

“I did a U-urn and screeched wheels and they began firing handguns at us — boom, boom, boom! I thought we would die, but their fire discipline is as poor as their manners.

“I took the lady to a hotel, and we both thanked Dear Jesus above.”

I asked him, “What is your name, Sir?”

“Boomy, Sir, I am Boomy — a Christian. What is your name, Sir?

“James.”

“Well Sir James, I have something to say, and I do not wish you to take insult from it.”

“Sure, Boomy, what is it?”

“Sir, I love America — your wonderful country, and am glad to be blessed in being here. But your mayor is a stupid woman that should be married off to Boko Haram, and your n—–s, Sir — your n—–s are useless and out of control, and need to be shipped off somewhere very far away from decent people. Good day, Sir, and God bless!”

    Correct. More immigrants from Africa in the last ten years than were slaves taken from Africa to what became the United States during the time of the slave trade.

    Darker skinned that the average American black, don’t dress or walk in the exaggerated manner with the swagger. Normal people often times quite highly educated.

  2. Zuo Zongtang says:

    Better link title: James Lafond fabulates some libertarian-conservative immigration romanticist nonsense.

    Is there any faction in the US that doesn’t desperately need to feel that some black person somewhere, anywhere agrees with them?

  3. Jeff R. says:

    I am with Zuo. I’m a Baltimore resident and I paid pretty close attention to the news when all of that stuff was going on. There wasn’t much damage done in Canton or Fells Point, which are, indeed, white Yuppie neighborhoods and very little in the way of violent confrontations. The mayhem that Monday night was aimed almost entirely at stealing and vandalizing. Nobody got killed and hardly anyone actually got beat up.

    The underclass in this city is dislikable enough as it is without having to make stuff up.

    I don’t think he fabricated it.

    I also don’t think its true. I’ve been in these cabs before (though not in this city). You need to take these stories with a pound of salt.

    Yeah, it was all fun and games in Ferguson too, until a man got murdered in a hammer attack.

    Oh that’s all right then.
