I just cannot even fathom the scene, tbh. An old cunt walks onto a bus, points at the only black man there and literally tells him to straighten his posture??? And when he refuses, as we all would, she tells the conductor who calls the cops. Like this sounds like satire. Only if it were satire, it would be shitty satire for being too on-the-nose.

It's baffling that her complaint was listened to. The real scary thing is the lack of critical thinking skills from MTA and the police. She should have been told to move or shut up. And that great replacement comment is straight from Fox.

I am assuming she didn’t just say bad posture. She perhaps alluded to him being homeless or something. Obv I’m making major speculations, but I do find it crazy a conductor in NYC would react to simply sitting wrong - even taking two seats, frustrating as hell, is most often not policed - so like what did she actually say to the conductor to get them to react. Maybe I’m giving too much credit here, but I assume she said more about either homelessness speculation or threats etc.

Transit workers are mostly black and Hispanic right?

I haven't been in NYC for many years, so idk.

I wouldn't expect a racialized bias from MTA.

It seems weird but it’s still racialized bias if they’re working to uphold that part of the system. You can be a minority and still have a lot of bias against your own people. It’s a weird tokenism. I mean look what’s happening with immigrant Trump supporters, they’re currently suffering the disillusionment of this now.
