Black Bus Driver organizes a mob attack on a white family

originally posted by: rom12345
This whole situation seems like the result of presumed authority on every ones part. Possibly a humiliation or two.
If you're on a bus, or any other piloted vehicle, you should take the driver's wishes into consideration. If you're at sea, you may get thrown overboard.

Unless you are Rosa Parks, then you are a national hero, yes?

Most and all are different.i will judge on individual merit, but as soon as you start talking, ,"yawh know whut i ming?" Im done and will consider you and anyone of any colour who immulates you a blight on man kind. Furthermore given the context its easy to see this was a race issue . No i was not there but im not ignorant to this bs either.

I am sorry doc are you really trying to compare this situation to what rosa parks did?
Apples to oranges on steroids

Doc, how do you know what was going on in the bus?
It could be just as possible that they just didn't want to move.
Not sure how it works on public transport, if you have to move if your are asked/told to or not, but I do know they driver is the authority figure in the bus.
Were they just showing lack of respect to authority?

Sremmos80 you have many times in threads about Michael Brown said that Michael Brown should not have been killed. Likewise in this post don't you think you need to address that the family should not have been beaten even if they were not respecting the authority of the bus driver? Baiting you here, Or do you feel that the family was justified in getting beaten?

Why not? It's all In context. If the bus driver in this incident got all racist and "checking privilege" then, yes, they are comparable. I was not the one firstly bringing up Rosa Parks, if you read the thread, someone else brought it up as if it was some sort of karma in action..

Of course they should have been beaten--to check their privilege and in retribution of a thousand years of abuse, can I have an Amen brothers and sisters!

Farnsworth has seen this thread:



I have to agree with him. Most sense I've seen in this thread.

Amen! And theyll do it again!

Yeah, it's worse. The Rosa Parks bus driver didn't organize a gang of racist to come one the bus and beat her into submission like the bus driver in Baltimore did. This incident is actually worse.

Will they write about this our present day the dark time in history for white folks. Even if they did we would just keep waking up going to work. Loving our women and making money
. I would never seek justice for my childrens acts by the sins of another race.

Thank you. I find myself that black people overall are much easier to talk to. I'd rather strike up a conversation with a random black person at the grocery store than an a random white person, they are more likely to interact, more likely to converse. White people tend to be cold, and give short, studded answers, and I say this is as a white person.

I find that individuals, regardless of race, are usually okay to talk to and interact with as long as you are polite. I do not judge by the group usually, but by the individual. There are certainly some groups such as the KKK and Black panthers and the American Communist party that I will not get along with but, individual by individual, I usually do quite well.

There was a riot in Ferguson that's why it had so much news coverage. Anyway, I remember when Chris Lane was shot it was huge in the media all over the world, simply because it was a thrill killing, rather than just some boring robbery or drug related murder that is common place in gun infested america.

Either way it's all irrelevant, since the media just reports what sells, we all know this. lol, I know for a fact Rupert Murdoch's agenda is most definitely not about making white people look bad, so maybe just watch fox news if your so offended by what the media decides to report.

But if your trying to make a logical and level headed claim about white people not getting justice when it comes to violent crimes, then you would have to show clear evidence of more lenient sentences for black people, else you are just race baiting. The media is not the justice system.

OP Thanks for posting this. I have friends of all colors. What happened with this family is unacceptable and I believe may or may not have been racially motivated.

I can speculate tho that because the family was white and refused to move to the back of the bus, they were thought of as acting superior or better than the other races present on the bus. I believe this is where the anger came from...lets not forget that being forced to the back of the bus was a big deal for a while with african american folks.

Perhaps this is where the anger originated from the bus driver?

I can tell you this: Racism is the most ignorant thing in the world.

I myself am a white eastern european. Today I was walking my dog and came across 3 black highschool kids who were sitting on a bench. We exchanged hellos and proceeded to introduce ourselves and ended up having a really cool discussion on conspiracy's on the coming world war, chem-trails, etc. Turned out to be some really cool intelligent kids.

I guess what im trying to say that all races have their bad apples but being a racist is super duper ignorant no matter if your black or white, yellow or purple. Whats inside is what counts, we all have to get out there and interact with each other, and we will soon quickly realize we all have the same loves, fears, dreams. We are all the same folks.

Bull#, They couldn't move to the back of the bus because it was packed and the bus driver was being racist about it.

Whats exactly is BS about my post? I never said it wasn't racially motivated. How about reading first.

You seem to start out with excuses that justifies a racist act by the bus driver.

I didn't say anything that could be considered as justifying what occurred in the op.

Id like to advise you yet again to read a post before replying, as it really helps with communication.
