racist against bus riders who want to be on time

@ #1 - That wouldn't be racist, that would be predjudice.

And at Anon, haven't you ever heard of OneBusAway?!?

I think the term Whiney McWhinerstien is thinking of is: Bigot.

If you don't like horse, or dogs, you are a racist. As you don't like a certain species, not liking a certain group of people is bigotry.

I wish some people would understand that we are all the same race.

@#3 Tilt at windmills much?

@2,

You can look up plain old schedules online too, which makes me think the author here doesn't have the means to search the Internet away from home. Not everyone has a smartphone.

You could pay the immigrant to remove the poster!

@3

race
–noun
1. a group of persons related by common descent or heredity.

@3:

"Race" may not be a biologically valid concept, but it remains a powerful social construct nonetheless. Objecting to discussions of racism on the grounds that race isn't "real" doesn't make you look enlightened; it just makes you look like an asshat.

good lord you people leaving comments can get caught up on some stupid shit. holidays must be great at your' places.

funny but i seem to remember the schedual's all coming in one book you get at the transit station. assuming your a broke ass that rides the bus all the time , you then must have a back pack on like all the other losers . so shove one of those in there so you have a list of times (not that they are worth a shit considering the busses are all-way's late). as for the anti illegal posts , so what. i see your commie hippie shit all the time all over town. so shut the fuck up loser , and yeah i hate mexican illegal immigrants (see criminal entry/ u.s.) in the u.s. federal penal code. they are all criminals that need to be put in forced labor camps till they are broken backed little shells , then thrown over the fence back into mexico where they belong.
11
All that aside, "Mexican" isn't a race. It's a nationality.

Personally, I carry a printed bus schedule.
12
They might be a xenophobic or Racist but your comment containing the word "RETARDED" is also so so so not cool or funny.
13
That person may be a xenophobic or racist, but you are so so so very uncool for using the word "RETARTED". I would have agreed with your statement had you not chosen to use hate speech in your accusations. Who are you to be casting stones?
14
Who the fuck cares about california?
15
@11 - I guess that makes him a nationalist.

@12/13 - Double-posting is RETARTED, lol.
16
Damn.

Sharon Angle sure has some hobby.
17
@14
California is the best. Don't hate.

18
I thought that this was one of the better "I anonymous" in a long time. Guess I don't have as much free time as the rest of the respondants.
19
You know, the schedule is still beneath the taped-up flyer. You're still able to read the schedule; you just have to move the flyer that you don't like. It's not magic or anything... So shut the hell up and stop yer bitchin.

20
The funniest part is that the posted schedule doesn't have anything to do with the bus actually showing up. As I tell people who ask me, "When is the bus coming?" - It comes when it comes! If you know that you are at the right stop for the bus you want, just fucking wait for it. If you don't have that kind of patience, maybe riding the bus isn't for you.
21
@3: Evidence suggests that there are four main super-ethnicities: Caucasian, African, Asian, and Australian. The four are not distinct enough to be classed as different subspecies of humanity, and therefore are classed as different races.
U MAD?
22
I haven't seen such lame comments in a long time. Why don't you all get on a bus and sort it out?
23
don't "retarted" people ride short busses ?
24
If you're worrying about whether hating Mexicans is "racist" or "bigoted" you're an asshole who is completely missing the point.
25
# 22 - I'm loving that idea!
26
Freedom of speech can be a pain in the ass
27
Que? no entiendo - hahahaha!!!

@21 Venomlash: Being a whitey white white white, I am still more closely related to many of the Blackety black black black ethnic tribes of Africa than they are to their similarly dark-skinned "brothers" living less than 100 miles away. Genetic studies have pretty much destroyed all older notions of race.

Likewise, an argument may be made that non-African people are "less human" than people from from the mother continent. 3-4% of non-African peoples' genetic make-up comes from Neandertals. We are not "true" humans.
29
@23: Like you?

Eric Crapman, ignorant fools like you are way too pathetic to be taken seriously.

30
WELL first of is it's spelled "retarded" not "retarted" which was the point I was trying to make , but you were way to stupid to see that .Second I was in no way trying to be taken seriously. On the other hand I do believe illegal "wet back's " should be arrested and deported . It's the law , and should be enforced . You would think all the legal immigrants would be in the street yelling themselve's hoarse complaining about these guy's getting a free pass when they worked so hard for "legal" citizenship. I say bring our troop's home from iraq , and afganistan , then put them on the southern border where they can do something positive for america instead of following the zionist agenda in the middle east at our expense . So who's the ignorant fool , I think you are . I only hate hippie's .

Hey @30 AND @31,

Maybe if you spent less time being a bigot and more time learning to post properly then you wouldn't have double posted your comment.
33
thats the strangers fault not mine , and your post clearly point's to: one you're an asshole , and two probobly a filthy hippie , finally three you take yourself way too seriously . really where was the bigotry in my post , you are just a lame ass troll .
34
i take it back , i read your page. what you are is a gay , mexican illegal immigrant , socialist democrat . who like every zionist who's found a statement of any kind that doesn't 100% agree with your party-line agenda screams "anti semite ! bigot ! " etc , then whines to the high heavens to get them removed from what ever it is they are on. because god forbid ( i realize you don't believe in god)some one other than your self have even the slightest opportunity to have free speech about anything other than your own narrow agenda . never allow an opposing opinion ,or some one will think there is an option . I get that , that's right out of the communist hand book . you commiecrat's take your selves way to seriously , there is no humor allowed for the masses because that would involve free thinking , and a free thinking individual would never go for your " progressive bullshit " if they knew what you have in mind . in communisim there is no self , only the party . don't you realize if the commies really take over you'll be the first in the gulag? get over your self , seriously ! like they say f ' em if they can't take a joke !

i drive and i love mexican food... yum

I'm gonna pretend to be a racist on the internet.

Durp.

"You're a Racist"

There's something about this phrase that sticks to me. Because by pointing to certain people who do dickish things, it's like we're saying they are racist, but we're not. But in reality, we're all of us a little bit racist. Many of us try to fight the constant barrage of negative stereotypes that hit the airwaves daily, but it's impossible to be truly, singularly neutral. So instead of calling someone "A Racist," I just use the adjective: racist.

Important distinction? Fuck no. But an underlying point should most of us identify? I think so, but then, I know I come from a racist culture and I try to identify racism daily.

39
I bet it wasn't even made in Photoshop.

It probably wasn't even made in Photoshop.

@38

^^THIS.
42
It's always been funny to me when Seattlites have opinions on border politics. You're *how* far away from the *Canadian* border? Until you've lived it, don't pretend to know how to fix it.

#21: "there are four main super-ethnicities: Caucasian, African, Asian, and Australian"

Africa and Asia are continents, Australia is a country. There are African Caucasians and not everyone in Asia looks "Chinese".
44
Nah, I think Mexicans are cool
The ones I'm concerned about are the ragheads flying 737's into our buildings, boarding our flights with bombs hidden up their ass, putting a car bomb in times square..burning our flag. They want to kill us all.. they even want to kill the Mexicans.
No bueno

46
@42, because decent ppl have no right to comment when others are being racist dicks?
47
In the spirit of this thread, I will post this twice.
48
@43, Australia is also a continent. Don't call yourself factcheck if you're not actually going to do any fact checking.

@Eric Cartman, where to even start?! We've never seen such ignorance, stupidity, and utter lack of even the most basic grasp of grammar and punctuation.

Beaners are funny. They do beaner things. Beaners.

Hey Eric DUMBSHIT---
why'd you turn quiet all of a sudden?

Did devon rocketship finally SHUT YOU UP???
53
Or was it because you voted for a 3-time LOSER?
54
People who say that using the word "retarded" is Hate Speech are retarded.
55
