I am really at a loss for words. Now, to be sensitive to the whiners, we'll have toll pricing based on skin color.

How’s this then: Only allow those people who have registered cars in their name and a valid driver’s license be allowed to carpool? Isn’t that the reason for those lanes? To get cars off the road?

As I said on a earlier thread, this is the illegal-sheltering Libtards in the People’s Republic of Arlington calling the Muslim-extremist-sheltering Libtards in the People’s Republic of Fairfax County racists. That is truly, truly funny.

I don’t understand; we have minorities by me that have 4,872 in a car at a time.

On a serious note, when they were considering charging cars to drive around in lower Manhattan, I thought that reeked of class issues. The idea was shelved, but I never did find out why.

I guess it may have to do with paying tolls? Like the rich can afford to use the toll lanes while the poor and minorities have to use city and rural streets to get where they want .... but then it begs the question, how can they afford a car? And are there no middle class minorities???

Which makes no since. The rich travel alone, the less rich tend to travel in groups to take advantage of the HOV. Therefore, HOV is, if anything, prejudicial against the rich, regardless their race.

Bogus charges of racism (such as we see here) must be condemned. Even when they are being used for causes we happen to agree with (HOT lanes are evil—just like real racism, and intellectually dishonest allegations of racism.)

HOV lanes serve the interests of sociable Conservatives. There are no other considerations that need be made than that.

The judge who receives this case should follow the lead of Judge Land down in Georgia. I.e., he should levy a $10,000.00 fine against each of the plaintiffs’ lawyers for filing a frivilous suit.

Just rewrite the rules:
HOV Lane eligibility:
3 white people
2 brown people
1 black person

I’m not sure how to deal with 1 black and 2 whites in the car or maybe 1 white and one brown? And what about native peoples? Can we call them “redskins”? Where do they fit in? And Asian peoples? I forgot about them too. Probably no preferences for them. But what about us German - Canadians? This is so complicated (reaching for the Sierra Nevada Pale Ale).

If it were up to the Leftwingtards EVERYONE would have to ride motorcycles to use the Interstates.
