You're being obtuse and you know exactly what he means when he posted that.

That's a horrible argument to try and make.

If there is an African-American, doesn't there have to be an American?

I don't understand why it has to be a race thing?


Just making a joke over what you posted. You only quotes the non American part. Calm down junior.


Also, tell me what being obtuse means.

Looks that way

I personally don't care what the others say, based on my past experience living in LA, there's no way you could convince me to not carry full coverage. The risk doesn't outweigh the small monthly savings.

"African American" is an African (race) who is an American citizen.

African is the race.
American is the nationality.

I try to explain that to my customers all the time.. And when something like this happens they look at me like.. "Hey buddy you didn't warn me!!"
Those convos are always fun

We must have it because my wife was in an accident a while back with an uninsured African American female (not racist), and our insurance covered it.

They cops detained her and searched her vehicle inside and out since she had prior felony drug charges. The accident was the AA woman's fault 100% btw. I guess that's why they searched her vehicle.

Do drivers who do not have insurance get into any trouble when they cause an accident? It's required here in NC like about all states nowadays.

If they really get upset, show them the UM rejection form they signed.

Usually ends the convo.

Oh I know, I've had that convo before. And both of our cars have UM on them. No way I'm not going to carry it.

No, but you didn't have to. After all, like the OP implied, she had to be an illegal immigrant or none of that would have happened.

Or are you saying the OP's narrative may be incorrect? Hmm...

Good...

Had a guy tell me one time " I'd probably win the lottery or get struck by lightning before I would need that"

2 weeks later... He was struck by the wrong lightning lottery.. He carries it now...

wait, you want to transfer additional risk to the insurance company without paying premium for that transfer?

We need to teach some basic insurance classes in high school.

Same thing happened to my wife about 7 years ago. She was heading down government street when a truck with four immigrant laborers pulled in front of her and she t-boned them. She was uninjured but badly shaken up. Her car was a mess. By the time I got there (before the cops had arrived), they were already under their truck, trying to get it working enough to drive to their job. None spoke English. No licenses, no insurance and no one would admit to who was driving. (seems to be a pretty solid defense) Anyway, the cops at the scene, "released them" into the custody of their employer. My wife's car wasn't totaled but we were on the hook for about a grand. Was a pretty crappy situation.


That's a shitty story. According to all the fricking idiots in this thread, that was your wife's own damn fault and you should be berated for not thinking that those immigrants are only doing their best to become stand up citizens and contribute to this economy. And what in the hell were you thinking not having uninsured motorist insurance? Are you so naive to think that at-fault drivers will have insurance? You act as if it's a fricking rule in this country or something! It is purely your wife's fault and you should accept it.
