“You don’t interact w/ whack-os on the subway, why do it above ground?”
I don’t let wackos push me around in the subway either. I’ll give them distance and not try to engage them, but I don’t just slink away if they get up in my business.
Ok…let’s have a mini-lesson on the word “Racist.” That word gets tossed around here far too much IMHO. There is a difference between racist and prejudiced.
Prejudiced: “I think all _______(fill in your favorite hated group here) are stupid/uneducated/stinky….etc.”
Racist: “I think all _______(fill in your favorite hated group here) are stupid/uneducated/stinky….etc. and based on this, I will deny them rights/access to services…etc.”
Racism is about power and using said power to deny rights/access to services, etc. based upon one’s prejudices.
“Trying to cut each other off with cars could definitely lead to someone being hurt, perhaps killed.”
I was driving on a highway late Saturday night and two cars where playing the ‘I can get ahead of you by cutting people off game.’ They were racing each other weaving in and out of traffic, cutting cars off within inches. They cut us off twice and that’s when one has to say to themselves, this is bullshit and just slow down and get out of their way.
If you’re going to be an idiot on wheels, might as well just ride a bike.
**** ENY. No way is tyburg supposed to let someone cut him off like a **** ***** and just take it. This woman sounds like an insane racist ****. Backing down from people like this is 100% optional.
Jackal with all due respect we only have one side of this story. We do not know the circumstances around this story and it was irresponsible of Tyburg post post it here!
Nothing like some warm Flamebait to get you going!
“To expect a person acting irrationally to refrain from using racial epithets, or any other means to “hurt” their “adversary” is…well, silly at best.”
Oh really ENY??? So if tyburg had called her a “black piece of shit” that would also be pretty much understandable? Bullshit. This person sounds like a crazy racist asshole. No one gets to say “[white][black][asian][arab][whatever] piece of shit. Period.
Kensingtonian — NEVER patronize the bike shop on Coney Island Avenue. The woman who owns the place is a horrible person that doesn’t stand behind her work… I gave her the benefit of the doubt after the first time, and letting convenience get the better of me I went back. Terrible!
