All of this “racist” talk will come back to bite the liberals in the ass. I hope by 2010 anyway.
yep, sounds like toll roads are racist.
I remember years ago, some black activists charged that freeways from suburbs into cities were “white men’s roads through black men’s homes”, as they opposed interstate highways being built in some cities.
If “racist” means “bad”, then that’s what HOT lanes and HOV lanes are ... I hate ‘em.
You know what is freaking racist????? It’s assuming that the poor and the downtrodden MUST be minorities!
This is the bunch that wants to keep them down and dependent at all costs so they can continue their merry demagoguing ways! (Is that a word?)
FReegards! GG
I don’t understand. Setting up a HOT lane for three in a car enables whites to drive unimpeded?
Wealth means you can drive in a single occupancy vehicle, OK, because whites never carpool to save gas, but minorities, women, and poor people always carpool...
Racists are confusing!
Arlington County is FOS.
As usual.
HOT lanes should be banned, regardless of the reason:
A) everyone’s money is used to build the roads, equally, so why can’t everyone use every lane?
B) If a HOT lane is not being used to full capacity when other lanes are, this is a wildly inefficient use of the roadways and only creates more gridlock than it reduces.
Now THAT is funny. The Leftards in the People’s Republic of Arlington accusing the Leftards in the People Republic of Fairfax County of being racist. But I have a solution. Assign a team of observers to count the number of caucasians, asians, Hispanics, blacks, native Americans and polynesians driving in the toll lanes. If it turns out that yes, the toll lanes are racist, give the injured minorities free passes. In exchange, the minorities, Arlington and Fairfax all have to swear to STFU ABOUT RACISM UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
“HOT lanes would cut out poor and minorities by defacto.”
De facto what? De fact that three brothers don’t choose to share the ride, and therefore can’t use the HOV lane? Now THAT’s racist!
Racist highway lanes? What next? I'm sure the delusional liberal minds are busy working on the next tragic racial injustice.
When’s the last time you heard about the police pulling over a minivan with a dozen white people in it?
You would have to believe that only white people have three friends. If the HOV lane is based on three people in the car, does that mean they think the poor (ie minorities) can’t count past two or if you are poor you only have two friends?
If you were racist you would think poor people had larger families therefore poor people would use the HOV lanes more often because they would typically be hauling around more people.
