Racism rears its ugly head

Bus Driver Community Organizes Beating of White Family
A black Baltimore bus driver organized a mob of 20 black people to assault a white family of three on her bus, which they did with gusto and pepper spray. All the while, the other black passengers hooted and hollered in encouragement.

The appalling event occurred last June. A white couple made the mistake of escorting their 9-year-old son home from school on a city bus. The driver asked them to move to the back, but they couldn’t, because there was no room. This enraged the female driver, who showered them with foul-mouthed threats and abuse.

At that point, other black passengers started yelling for the bus driver to remove the white family from the bus. One of passengers urged the bus driver to use her phone and “call them up.”

Who was “them”? The family discovered two stops later, when a large group of students from Mergenthaler Vo-Tech and Academy for College and Career Exploration boarded the bus.

The victims were standing next to the bus driver and they heard her tell the newly-boarded students: “I don’t care where they get off. You handle that (Bleep) and I’ll take care of you. I’ll wait for you.”

Soon after, the family of three left the bus, along with the 20 black students who had just boarded it.

They beat and pepper-sprayed all three members of the family, choking and banging their heads on the ground — all while the bus driver waited and watched. …

Charging documents show the bus driver watched the assault and yelled several times, “Yeah, that’s what you get.” After the teens were finished with the beating, they got back on the bus, and the bus drove away, offering the victims no assistance, police said.

"white people" tried that already in this country for 200 years. How did that work out for ya? You have a black president.

TOS.

I'm sure glad you classified him as a black president and NOT a black "President" because he sure is lacking in that department.

I'd say that the discourse here is illustrative of just how pervasive racism is in our society...and in this forum.

I don't see anything racist about this. Now if it was a white car with black characters on it that might be a different story.
I agree the sticker in and of itself does not involve race.
The fact that Baba posted it in a thread about racism says a lot though.

I said "counter beaters", why did you automatically assume that it'll be "all crackers"? One HALF black president (everybody forgets how to round from math class) in 238 years, it seems that "white people" AKA "THE MAN" are doing a good job of holding them down
