Public Transportation Could Work...

Portland's public transportation works beautifully. Why is that?

It has been argued here that the spread and proliferation of the Black Undertow comprise the great ecological threat to mankind (and the concept of sustainability), as real, discernible Climate Change brought about by the Black Undertow keeps most other races from utilizing public transportation.

In cities like Montgomery, where a bus-boycott galvanized a nation to accept sweeping Civil Rights legislation (that lead to directly to Black-Run America), it is only Black people who now ride that antiquated - and dangerous - system:

In 2011, 83.6 percent of the people who ride the Montgomery Area Transit System (MATS) are African Americans, even though African-Americans are 54.5 percent of the population of Montgomery. Whites are 42.3 percent of Montgomery residents, but are only 12.7 percent of MATS riders.

White people in Montgomery have fled the city to create new suburbs, which require them to drive their cars to and from their places of employment, contributing unnecessary amounts of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. All to avoid riding in buses next to Black people.

In Atlanta, more than 76 percent of the riders of MARTA, which just approved a fare increase to become the most expensive - and poorly managed - public transportation commute in the nation, are Black people. White people in Atlanta have fled to outlying suburbs throughout the metro area, where no MARTA station can be built to allow a criminal element to enter their shining Whitopia.

Atlanta has the wost traffic in the nation because white people living in the suburbs are trying to escape the Black Undertow and would rather spend 10 hours a week in the car (commuting two hours a day to and from work) than allow MARTA into their towns. Think about that for a second.

The same is said of Washington D.C., where the DC Metro is basically a job program for Black people with more than 90 percent of the employees being Black - though DC is almost majority white... talk about disparate impact - and Black people make many of the stops no-go areas. yes, white people ride the Metro to work, but DC still has some of the worst commutes in the nation because of a desire to live away from the wondrous diversity we constantly hear makes our nation great and a greater desire to avoid riding next to them on the Metro rail and bus system.

In Cleveland more than 85 percent of the citations issued to customers not paying for a ride on the public transportation there have been Black people.

Atlanta's MARTA system is broke; 76 percent of the riders are Black

US News and World Report did a list of the Top 10 American cities for Public Transportation, and no city with a majority Black population cracks the list. In fact, eight of the cities have small to negligible Black populations. LA and New York are on the list because having a car in the latter city is an insane proposition. Public transportation works in San Diego, Portland, Boston, Seattle, Denver, and Salt Lake City because there are low Black populations there to loiter, skip out on paying for fare, and making the systems inhospitable to people desiring a peaceful trip to work, a sporting event, or other service. Phoenix has an outstanding trolley system as well.

Those who have dedicated their lives to environmentalism, protecting the environment, creating energy independence in America and a move away from our dependence on importing fossil fuels and other green causes are hypocrites unless they are willing to understand why white people (and Asians and other non-Black people) flee Black Undertow cities and refuse to ride public transportation in cities like Memphis, Atlanta, St. Louis, Cleveland, Birmingham, etc.

They are hypocrites who live in places like Boulder, Austin (Texas), Portland, Seattle, and Burlington (VT) where few eyes every are set upon a Black individual and riding public transportation is a safe and clean activity.

Civilization is a very precarious thing. Looking at why cities collapse and why cities (and regions) thrive is a messy business, because the data provides patterns that run counter to the egalitarian ideology touted by Disingenuous White Liberals who enforce BRA at every turn. Detroit vs. Pittsburgh is not a football match-up; it offers a simple look at why one city survives and the other is on life-support.

The Blaze.com provides a video from the New York Subway System which serves as a metaphor for why people flee the Black Undertow - no, not because of the Black gangs roaming the subways with box cutters - and sadly no one points out that this same behavior isn't found on the public transportation of lily-white Portland, Seattle or Salt Lake City. These cities work (as do their public transportation systems) because white people, regardless of their political orientation, can maintain civilization and high standards of moral behavior in public.

Black people? Well, you be the judge of it:

You’ll want to put headphones on or turn down the volume, because the video you’re about to see is full of screaming and chaos.

It shows several NYPD officers in Harlem attempting to arrest four girls who had tried to board the subway without paying the fare. The girls resist arrest — but that might be an understatement. WNYW-TV explains:

One girl is seen swinging a bag at the officer while others try to pull away as they’re being handcuffed.  One of the officers pulls out and swings his billy-club in a defensive move as he is attacked.

The same girl with the bag can also be seeing kicking one of the officers.

Strangely, despite similar moments of Blacks Behaving Badly (BBB) on public transportation in cities all across the country, some Herman "Munster" Cain fan at The Blaze left this comment:

LIBSALWAYSLIE

Posted on October 11, 2011 at 10:18amThis is a clear example of what the liberal democrats have done to (some) blacks, they’ve turned them into idiots who belive the law does not apply to them. Liberals disgust me.

Why don't Disingenuous White Liberals riding public transportation in Seattle, Portland or New York City (home to hundreds of thousands of Stuff White People Like white people) act this way? Why do these "liberals" have the ability to turn (some) Blacks into idiots who belive (sic) the law does not apply to them?

For the same reason that disciplinary measures in schools across the country is disproportionately targeted at Black people misbehaving; the same reason that Black males - though only 5 percent of the population - are more than 50 percent of the prison population and commit (according to 2010 FBI stats) more than 50 percent of the murders in America.

This is exactly why white people avoid public transportation in cities with high populations of Black people; the inverse is true, as the lack of Black people riding public transportation in cities with low populations of Black people makes for an enjoyable trip.

What other cities have horrible public transportation that citizens avoid and instead waste countless hours driving in their cars to avoid the Black Undertow? Philadelphia? Remember, most public transportation is in some ways subsidized by the federal, state, or local government.

Public transportation could work, but the Black Undertow makes such efficient forms of transportation an impossibility for those living in Whitopias who hope to maintain high property value. For those living in cities - like Portland, Seattle, Salt Lake City - with a minimal Black population, this isn't a problem. Public transportation works there.

#103. Paying for Public Transportation

Public transportation. In theory, a wonderful idea. Clean, efficient, green and a way to keep unnecessary automobiles off the roads and severely cutting down on congestion for those commuting to work.

Riding in the front of the bus doesn't make it free

In theory, everything is a wonderful idea, though, but public transportation around the United States has been a colossal failure. When integration commenced in the big cities, white flight wasn't far behind. Commutes to work increased ten-fold as young families fled the hopeless notion that their children could be educated in the same rooms as Black children, a practice that lingers to this day.

Metro rail systems and bus lines were never going to travel into far flung suburbs, forcing refugees from these cities to drive long distances. Public transportation the nation over became exclusively Black, with cities like Atlanta, Memphis, Birmingham, St. Louis and others seeing the bus and light rail systems emerge as job programs for otherwise unemployable Black people.

The stigma of public transportation became so great that respectable commuters became increasingly disinclined from acquiescing to a time saving ride on a bus or train and exposed themselves instead to headache inducing commutes on the expressway, battling traffic and time away from their families. A voice to article the realization that something was dreadfully wrong never materialized.

Most public transportation systems in America are failing, because relying on a predominately Black clientele isn't conducive to a thriving business model. Atlanta's MARTA system  (aka Moving Africans Rapidly Through Atlanta, or something like that) has become the model for which all future metro systems will strive not emulate.The riders are a wonderful representation of that city:

When the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority (MARTA) was conceived and created in the 1960s, many whites jokingly referred to it as "Moving African Rapidly Through Atlanta." The system was originally conceived to cover five counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Cobb, Clayton, and Gwinnett). Only Fulton and DeKalb residents voted to join MARTA and pay the one-cent sales tax. Atlanta city residents pay eight cents on a dollar in sales tax: four cents for the state, three cents for Fulton and Dekalb, and one cent for the City of Atlanta’s water treatment fund.


A 2006 rider survey revealed that 76 percent of MARTA’s rail and bus riders are African American and other people of color. More than 63 percent of users have a household income of less than $30,000. Only Fulton and DeKalb County residents pay for the up keep and expansion of MARTA with a one-cent sales tax. Today, the regular one-way fare on MARTA is $2.00, up from $1.00 in 1992. MARTA is projected to have a $588-$634 million shortfall over the next decade.

So if 3/4th of MARTA's passengers are Black, one can only infer that the vast majority of those failing to pay for the service are also Black:

The practice of riding MARTA without paying has got to stop, because these people hurt the system in multiple ways, MARTA CEO Beverly Scott said at a recent board meeting. 

The offenders prevent MARTA from collecting revenue. And when they fail to tap a Breeze card, even when leaving a station, they complicate MARTA’s planning for distance-based fares; passengers eventually will be charged when they tap out at the end of a trip rather than at the beginning, and people who take longer trips will be charged more.

One needs to infer absolutely nothing in Cleveland, a city crumbling apart thanks to a population incapable of innovation or sustaining businesses. A reason for this can be found in a lack of trust and accountability, most notable in Black people deciding not to pay for bus fare:

Blacks have received a disproportionately high number of citations for not paying Regional Transit Authority fares, a Plain Dealer analysis has found. 

More than 85 percent of the citations for the infraction were issued to them during the past two years, the analysis found. 

By contrast, fewer than 70 percent of the riders on the lines where the citations were handed out are black, RTA spokeswoman Mary McCahon said. 

She could not explain why blacks received a disproportionate number of the citations, but ruled out racism as the cause. 

"It's unfortunate that the statistics come out this way, but there is no profiling," McCahon said.

Civil rights groups are agitated that this crackdown is even taking place and that duplicitous Black passengers are even being targeted for their niggardly manner of failing to part with the correct amount of money for bus fare.

All it amounts to is a hate fact that the numbers align the way they do. Nothing more, nothing less. Earlier this year, the Cleveland city council was forced to table a measure that would have led to cracking down on fare jumpers sooner, but those same civil rights groups found such measures odious:

RTA's board has tabled, and effectively killed, a controversial proposal to crack down on youths who aren't paying fares on rapid-transit lines. 


George Dixon, chairman of the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority board, said Tuesday that he feared the policy would fall too heavily on young black males and minority communities served by the transit lines. 

Dixon said he and at least two other black male members of RTA's nine-member board had concerns about sending young fare-jumpers to the county's juvenile court. 

Minority leaders have long been concerned about the disproportionate number of blacks in the county's juvenile and adult court systems.

Birmingham's bus system is broke. New York's honor system bus service is failing.Memphis' MATA system is a complete joke and in financial trouble. Atlanta's MARTA is indeed, overwhelming Black. Seattle's bus system isn't safe. Detroit's bus system is exclusively the mode of transportation for Black people, a fitting tribute to Rosa Parks.

Every time a person fails to pay for their ride, the comptrollers in charge of the bus or metro system have to find ways to generate revenue, which normally requires fare increases. Call it the Black Tax, as fair jumpers require all those who actually pay and promote honesty are forced to pay more so others can enjoy a free ride.

Clayton County in Georgia saw its bus system shut down completely. St. Louis' system is in financial trouble. Charlotte's new light-rail has become a haven for Black crime.

Just like in Cleveland and Atlanta, Stuff Black People Don't Like includes paying for public transportation. Since Rosa Parks sat in the front of a bus in Montgomery, white people have looked upon public transportation as a trip into an exotic, foreign country.

In some places (San Diego, Portland, Salt Lake City and San Francisco) public transportation works. One element is missing in these cities that is found abundantly in Atlanta, Memphis, Detroit, Cleveland and other cities where public transportation is in trouble.

What could that be?
