White men can’t jump.
Surprise!
There appears to be an opportunity here for a scholarly, in depth study to find out the cause of this disparity.
Turnstiles remind them of the ones used to board slave ships and, thus, it’s OK to evade them. Otherwise, it would be raciss.
Truly shocking.
How can they even justify charging a fare for “public transit”. America is the wealthiest country on the planet and this service should be free as it is clearly discriminatory against low income/minimum wage earners and “people of color.” /s
They’re not White Nationalists?
Huh!
Obviously the turnstiles are racists. Eric Holder explained to us that the only explanation for anything that disproportionately effects black people is racism. That’s how we know abortion, high blood pressure and sickle cell anemia are racist.
They have machines all over the city.
Now you can pay for them with Apple Pay!
No excuse for having to "jump" turnstiles.
Dey is be ohhhhd
If the cops are arresting more blacks and latinos than whites, it just shows the cops are racist. If the system were fair, statistics would show that blacks, latinos, and whites were being arrested in the same proportion as they exist in the population.
From now on, any arrest/summons of a black or latino for fare avoidance should be signed off on by a transportation supervisor who is appointed by an integrated Community Board.
What percentage of the NYC population is black and Latino?
They must be racial profiling!
It’s like those liquor store armed robbery CCTV videos they keep posting on YouTube that only show black people in hoodies!!
Stop the discrimination! Stop the hate!
The fact that minorities make up the large majority of fare jumpers means one of two things:
- disparate enforcement,
OR
- higher minority crime rates
In our schools, we act like it must be the first, and the second is impossible.
Racism!!!!
But, but, but - they’ve been so deprived - they’ve been mistreated - they don’t have their fair share of everybody’s money - they should be entitled to free rides whenever they want - it isn’t right - social justice.........
If they dont show deem they defaulted and take it out of their next welfare or other benniies checks. EIC, whatever, ding it. Ideally this would involve the arresting officer collecting fingerprints or some other biometrics at time of arrest and compare that to a biometric database collected from all welfare consumers at time of application for said welfare. Some will protest collecting the biometrics up front on Libertarian grounds. However its hatd to argue the government shouldnt be collecting data on you while simultaneously asking for a government handout. If you want to stay off that grid avoid the dole. Collecting welfare biometrics would also catch those fraudulently double+ dipping and a fair number of fugitives.
The governing idiots openly declared that they WON’T enforce it. Liberals are retarded.
White people only use cabs.
