ouch, there's nothing more painful than being called ignorant for calling out bigotry.

 

how do you know i haven't? you're just a barrel of assumptions aren't you?

"i don't believe that race (or religion) is an indicator of potential criminality" gave it away.

yes it is out of the question to tell bart riders to be weary of black people. sorry.

I am NOT telling anyone to be weary of anyone of a particular race at all, I am just stating facts. A number of the riders have come forward to say that it was black teens who did the robbing of people both black and white. There have been people like the woman in the article below who have been beaten as well. But there is nothing done about it AT ALL and no videos are released at all. But as soon as it is something against the BART police then the video is released the next day, while months later there is no video at all. 

 

Nice try but until you know what's going on and not just spouting off BS don't comment.

You guys who use weary... You know it means tired or reluctant right? I think you guys mean aware.... Unless you're all Scottish then it means to be distressed apparently.

I'm pretty sure wary is what they mean, I'm just not normally a pedant like other millennials I know (*cough*wife*cough*).

i notice you didn't answer any of my questions, wonder why? what would you like to do with the info that the perps were black? you most certainly said and went into detail about crime in oakland being committed primarily by blacks, what purpose does this statement serve if not to warn people to be leery of a particular race? in fact, you know that's what you were saying and that's why you prefaced your comment with a "sorry". 

 

i hope you don't think that you're in a position to tell me what to comment on, but it appears you do. i'll just say, if you post in a public forum - you don't get to control you replies to those posts. you can block me, maybe try that.

I just think it is fascinating how many american's are not great at English and then complain about immigrants not knowing English.

Not me! I'm like the anti-pedant (with a couple notable exceptions). Language is merely a tool of conveying one's thoughts, so if one understands the thought another is trying to convey, the spelling to me is irrelevant.

 

Though, in California, it was incredibly common for Hispanic migrants who refused to learn English (more often than not, illegals) to get upset at you for not speaking Spanish in an English speaking country. Make sense of that.

 

I will say, though, long ago I used to deliberately get under my mothers skin because she'd try and sound smart by using words like "irregardless" not realizing its effect of making her look dumb instead.
