He's 27? I doubt his gramma was a slave. She's probably in her mid 50s, and mama is about 40.

A black man on a Metrobus attacked a 52-year-old disabled, homeless passenger, spitting in his face, and blaming the victim, who is white, for decades of slavery in the United States, police say.
The incident occurred on a Q1 bus, which had departed the Silver Spring Transit Center and was headed for the Shady Grove Metro Station. It was around 5 p.m. on Sunday, September 24.
According to court documents, Marquis Evans-Royster, 27, approached the disabled, homeless man, looked directly into his eyes and stated, "You owe me for making my grandmother a slave."
The victim remained calm and did his best to ignore the racially motivated comments. However, the confrontation became tenser when Evans-Royster allegedly began to rummage through the victim's pockets. A number of bystanders attempted to intervene, prompting Evans-Royster to charge at various passengers, spit in the victim's face and threaten to douse the victim with a cup full of urine. "Who carries around a bottle a urine," Metrobus rider Desi Cureton stated with a confused look upon his face. "If I was the judge, I would send him for mental health evaluation."
The bus driver threatened to call the police, prompting Evans-Royster to exit the bus near the intersection of Veirs Mill Road and Connecticut Avenue. Yet, before fleeing, the 27-year-old allegedly snapped off one of the bus’ side view mirrors, valued at around $250. The bus driver told investigators that Evans-Royster boarded the bus without paying a fare and "almost immediately" started to harass the two white passengers. In addition to the slavery remarks, the bus driver recalled Evans-Royster stating all white people are evil and suggesting that the bus’ two white passengers should die.
Metro Transit Police caught Evans-Royster four days later at the Wheaton Metro Station. They have since charged him with a slew of crimes, including, race/religious harassment, robbery, theft, second-degree assault, destruction of property and possession of a false I.D. All told, the charges carry a combined maximum penalty of more than 30 years in prison. Court records indicate Evans-Royster works as a tow truck driver, carries an extensive criminal record and has two children. He lives in an apartment along the 13900 block of Castle Boulevard in Silver Spring with his sister.
Investigators have collected surveillance video from the Q1 bus, which will likely be entered as evidence in court. The Maryland Public Defender's Office is representing Evans-Royster. His next court appearance is scheduled for October 27 at 10 a.m. in Montgomery County District Court.
"It speaks to the state of the times," said 70-year-old Tyrone Kenney, a black man who came of age during the American Civil Rights Movement. "People are desperate, they're looking for leadership, they're looking for guidance, but they're not getting it at home, they're not getting it from government. It's a period of time I've never seen before.
That statistic about “freed black people” is impossible. Put down the crack pipe.
The descendants of those slaves are who populate the favelas that surround Rio de Janeiro today.
That is exactly what is wrong with the “debate” about race!!!!!
Creating an artificial group according to a non-essential attribute of people and then considering all members of the group equivalent. One member is equal to another.
Your skin shade is assessed along with the shape of your lips and your hair type, and the judgement is made and you are placed in the group. Some groups are assigned Guilt, and others are assigned Moral Superiority. Those with Guilt can be attacked by those with Moral Superiority. (The knockout “game”.)
I don’t accept any of it.
He's 27? I doubt his gramma was a slave. She's probably in her mid 50s, and mama is about 40.
Expect to see more and more of this.
Maybe her last name was ‘Tuck’...................
Thanks Obama, you POS.
When he didn’t pay his fare the bus driver should have stopped the bus & called the cops. So many times I’ve witnessed this on buses here on SI. Drivers are too afraid to confront these thugs. Pay your fare like everyone else.
What is this world coming to when you can’t trust a “tow truck driver?”
Fry him like bacon!
“Here, you can have this old shoe lace, my last old, muddy shirt and bent up aluminum can I’ve got in my shopping cart. We square now?”
“The cowardly attacker is 27-years-old, so the odds of his grandmother having been a slave are awfully slim. “
Maternal side, two generations, is probably as far back as he knows with any certainty.
Possibly a slave to de crack and ho’in to pay for it.
"That's what the world's coming to."
Yeah, try this shit on MARTA in Atlanta.
If the undercover MARTA policeman doesn't arrest you, the bus driver will stop the bus, lock the doors shut, and call the cops.
I've seen it.
Of course, dude busted out via an emergency exit, but he didn't get his free ride.
It’s not a bikini top, it’s a modesty bar.
“If those young black actors are supposed to be slaves, the female on far left should not be wearing a black bikini top.”
FYI, she is not wearing a bikini top. That is a black stripe from a Censor’s edit.
Like you, I was really put off by Tyrone’s comment at first. Then I reread it and it’s possible he’s lamenting the breakdown of the family and the loss of church leadership in people’s lives. Govt “leadership” IS possible to the extent the Pres uses the bully pulpit to exhort people to be good citizens (as Trump is doing, IMO), not just send more free stuff to the spoiled entitled underclass.
But it could be as you interpret it — he wants govt to control more of their lives.
I’d like to believe my further reflection interpretation.
Twenty seven years old? If his 'grandmother' was a slave she lived longer than any other person in the history of the world. My guess is the 27 year old thug bought into a liberal elite pity party story and thinks all his problems are the result of 'slavery'. He's wrong.
The last time I was in South Africa, I saw how the locals were living. It wasn't in mud huts....it was this:
That having been said, your point stands.
The house is nearby the Governor mansion and they are called "Ghetto Duggers"
