It’s not liberal hypocricy. It’s bullshit, as the facts currently stand.
As such, don’t look for too much help from Bricker. I won’t speak for him, but having read many of his posts over the years, and found him to be extremely logical in reaching a conclusion (however much I disagree with it), I’m pretty sure he’d find your argument bullshit too. Look at how it stands through a lawyer’s eyes (yep, I’m one, just like Bricker):
You are in an interracial relationship, and you board a bus.
You: Does this bus go to the airport?
Driver: I don’t know.
You: But…but…route map?
Driver: Do you have tickets?
You: (Have tickets, don’t offer them, and make your way to the back exit.)
Driver: No, exit through the front doors.
You: Grumble, grumble, grumble. Let’s get off this frickin’ thing and walk to the airport.
Not even Bricker could find anything racist in that exchange.
I practice human rights law in Canada, and I have handled discrimination cases before. And believe me, if you were to call my office tomorrow with the above story and claim discrimination on the basis of racism, I would refuse to take your case. I doubt any ethical lawyer (and I will include Bricker in that group), would. You know why? Because the facts as you have presented them do not add up to discrimination on the basis of racism. Either you’re not telling us something vital to the story, or you’re looking for some excuse to get a nice settlement while somebody loses their job.
WHAT question?
And there are lots of people around here who suffer from various mental illnesses, so no, that’s not it. I think you’re suffering from lack of sleep more than anything.
Well maybe but I didn’t know how to more subtly hint that he’s on ignore. They’re hurtful words to me, come on. I made that pretty clear. The board rules say not to tell people? How much hinting is too obvious? Don’t want to get this thread closed too!
Then maybe you should stop posting to it right now? Because you’re not just going to get this thread closed, you’re likely to get suspended or banned if you don’t quit.
Guys, in case you’re wondering, my girlfriend is fully aware of all this. She thinks it’s awesome I’m doing this for her. She asked me to stop posting on social media, so I did. I came down here to have so fun with you guys while I wait for her to do whatever it is she’s doing. This is her show. I think if we’re both crazy, we really have our lives together for crazy people. And you were really shitty to me.
Yes. Subconsciously, you do not want to hear that this happened in Canada. You do not want to believe that this level of racism still exists in Canada! Thing is, in a way, you’re right. This is not normal! The OVERWHELMING majority of people are nice to us. It was the perfect mix of us being who we are, racism and her being a THUNDER CUNT. She still has to go!
As I previously posted in one of the closed threads:
"For the record I’m fairly new to public transportation in Ottawa, and drivers on a new route may in fact be unaware of the route and stops.
You see, they have a large (14"?) GPS screen and follow it. That’s it. I’ve asked questions like “do you go to Centrepoint?” and they honestly do not know.
I would be absolutely shocked if any bus driver in Canada would have a problem with interacial couples, I mean especially in the large multiracial cities, of which Vancouver is one."
I did read the title of the thread. Apparently, we’re being weird about this.
Because we’re not agreeing with you. Because we’re not clutching our pearls and fainting away at this alleged injustice that was done to you. Because based on the facts that you have given us, something happened to you that happens around the world every day. You want to blame the event on racism, when you have given us no evidence of that, and we’re the ones being weird?
And changing the subject? You’ve been on and on about this incident in each and every thread about it. Changing the subject would be stating something such as, “It was bluebell time in Kent.” No, I’m keeping to the subject, which you keep referring to.
