None of your listed locations have BART stations, nor did Blackhawk even exist when BART was first built. Danville/San Ramon were farm towns back then.
That said, it was shortly after the Dublin/Pleasanton BART station was built (across from the Stoneridge Mall) that the infamous shooting incident occurred at the July 4 fireworks show at the Alameda County fair in 1998.
The shooter was 24-year-old Jamai Johnson from Richmond, who took BART to Pleasanton. Rival Richmond gangs were at the fair, and the fight started over a stuffed Tweety Bird prize from one of the midway carnival games.
Fromm 1999 onward, the Alameda County Fair has closed at 6:00PM on July 4, to avoid any future incidents

BART was the reason we moved from the East Bay to the South Bay back in 1973. My dad got tired of being late to work and late arriving home - due to BART malfunctions.
Hispanics seem to be the working class minority in S Valley, filling the position.
At least maybe, my 2cents
Initial BART plans proposed another Transbay Tube from Richmond to San Rafael. Marin residents loudly said “no way”. They have also fought hard to minimize or eliminate bus service between Richmond and San Rafael. Marinites tend to be liberals in good standing, but they continually do things like this with no shame.
First they turned down Lucas' expansion of his film studio and high-paying "White Collar" jobs that Marin residents would normally be so fond of.
Then Lucas threatend to go "Auntie Mame" on them and build homes for low-income families, as a "take that" gesture.
Now, Marin is nixing that idea, too.

because while in school blacks that try to excell are labeled uncle toms and harassed..
They were both in technical areas. My second brother is a lifelong computer nerd. He once tried to explain to me what his job at H-P was, but it went right over my head.
My third brother wrote technical documentation for the company, then later transferred into logistics for their manufacturing division.
Well put CB. On a farm they wouldn’t last a hayseed roll. In the long run, strong profitable decisions make it on a farm. Not pussyfooting around with a few bad investments once the taxes and seed are paid for. Next year is always better. Repeat mistakes? No thanks. No fuss, no bull!
The laws of mathematics and physics are obviously racist.
Silicon Valley isn’t that diverse, it’s mostly Chinese and Indians who are doing the work. There is a small layer of whites who are running things in management and getting the bulk of the money.
Well, look at the English expressed on this forum: except/accept, you’re/your, its/it’s, etc. Hey, to quote the Secretary of State: “What difference does it make?
The Silicon Valley company where I used to hang my beret, had a couple of blacks in its IT department. One was a woman software engineer, the other was an operations dude with the company for 20 years. He was a hip brother, elegant in his orange and purple three piece suits, real fun guy, she a family woman, both were over 40. Laid off, when jobs were exported to Bangalore. A year or so earlier , a black software Java engineer was hired, long bangs, low talker (!), mediocre engineer, past unknown to all except management. Three months on promoted to manager, over seniority of at least one Indian (US citizen) and others.
Two words: BELL CURVE.
LMFBO!!!!
This is the kind of moron who would say - - with a straight face and actually believing it - - that Nelson Madela (for example) is an African-American.
These scumbags of the permanent victim class, these race whores, these grievance industry crybabies, think that even though blacks comprise about 12% of the population, every school in America should be 50% black. Arithmetic is not their strong suit - - if they have a strong suit at all - - and is it any wonder they don’t show up much in a place like Silicon valley?
