Wide racial gap exists on speed of Boston-area commutes
Boston Globe ^ | November 24, 2012 | Eric Moskowitz

At the end of a recent community meeting on the state transportation system, a grandmotherly woman with a lyrical Caribbean accent strode up to the top transportation official in Massachusetts, dispensing with pleasantries.

“Let me tell you something,” she told Transportation Secretary Richard A. Davey. “I am so upset with Number 28.”

When driving there, I always make sure I have my 1911A1 and three clips loaded with 45 ACP DRT ammo.

Don't blame ya, a former co-worker of mine, his son lives there and he told me of those bad areas too.

I will tell you one reason why many people don't take the bus. Obama voters usually ride the bus and for that reason it can be both a hostile environment and dangerous to one's health. Just saying...

Good points. I'd rather drive my Blazer than take a bus into the city.

Few years back big controversy over the sellers of crack getting double the time of the sellers of powder cocaine, which was, in effect, “RACIST”.
The black sellers couldn’t afford to buy the ‘good pure stuff’ so they had to buy it and cut it (whatever) For a change I did agree with the argument about the disparity in sentencing.
Raise the sentence guideline for powder to coincide with the crack.

Well, I threw in the towel prior to the election, I AM AN AVOWED RACIST.

Now that I have made the declaration, they gain nothing by accusing me of it....


Same here, we have two more members here, Mom and myself. I still go by the belief that if a person is working and earning his stuff, I have no problem no matter the creed or skin color, he/she is entitled to the fruits of their labors. Add to that as long as they do not bother others, they have that same right to be left alone.

Still, I have this rule, until someone of a minority can prove to me they understand America where one works for what they get and should keep what they make with minimum taxation, i.e., no wealth redistribution along with being left alone as well as being patriotic, I have to assume they support the likes of Obama and Marxism. Even so, I assume that of many Whites as well. I do my best through conversation to determine where they fall.

I've shed most Obama supporters for my life. There is a few I remain in contact with, mainly older folks born before 1955, they are the past and still think FDR is the Democratic party. I just tell them, "I disagree, just don't go there." I've broken up friendships of 40 years since I was a little kid over this.

So in conclusion, if a libtard says to me, "you're a racist," then I say, "I am one, so what are you gonna do?" or something similar. Why not, there is no changing them, they have to have their own epiphany, a "come to Jesus moment" n their own.

Actually, 20 or 30 years ago a lot of black clergy ASKED for greater penalties for crack because it was “destroying the black community.”

You are absolutely right. I used to work in a bureaucracy and I managed at least 3 little state grant programs by myself. After I left each program employed at least 3 people. There was never any credit given for efficiency.

A friend who worked for the phone company told me a story about a guy who got into trouble for increasing efficiency. I forget the details after 30 years, but the guy made some operation much more efficient, and they could do the work for much less. The state utility commission thereupon ordered the phone company to lower their rates accordingly.
