Imma say this. If you feel personality attacked, then use the quote feature and have it out with that person.
I've not attacked you. I've not called you out of your name. I personally get tired of people saying this but not addressing the offending person.
Also, the bigger picture matters. It always matters when it comes to black folks. Like we've always known black boys were disciplined more harshly. Then one day, there is a study corroborating what we've always known.

I can totally see this happening - men in general react poorly to women who get animated with each other. My book club has been told to be quieter at both a tea house and a restaurant, so add in race and I guess it's okay to lie on social media about the incident and call the police! So terribly wrong and I feel sorry for that group.
Oh and I'm just guessing the manager was a guy, so correct me if I'm wrong.
This is ridiculous and unfair because you are all right. These women were only kicked off for being "too loud" because they were black. I hope this company apologizes profusely and offers the women free rides for life.
iammalcolmx, a similar story apparently happened in my suburb at a Wild Wing Café. They kicked out a bunch of black patrons for "being too loud" at a fucking sports bar. I was livid and am never going back there again. So annoying since I like their wings. Gah.
tillie please note in the article the woman says she saw a group of white women having a party on the train acting the exact same way and no one complained.

I'm sure it is true, they said they said people are asked to leave the train about once per month.
No the white women WERE NOT asked to leave.
The people who are taken off are either intoxicated or there is some sort of domestic disturbance.

This could easily be resolved by having a quiet car. People bothered by noise can pay extra for a seat in the quiet car. Otherwise they can sit down and enjoy the ride.

I completely agree with this.
Really? Because this assumes that the complainers are the problem not the ones that were kicked off.
I have no qualms about what I've said and I stand behind it. You've shown more than this one instance that, IMO, have bordering on racist and classist thoughts. And you do vaguebook about your illness. it is what it is.
I will be the first to admit that I am privileged, and I have no qualms about that. I have been very lucky. I know that, however, please let me know where I have said something racist, because I'd be interested to know.

Inability to recognize the serious racial overtones of this incident is a soemrhing close to racist.

I believe Tillie debuted in the thread we had about the 12 year old who was shot by the officer in Cleveland. That crazy ass poster rolled up in there saying killing the child was cool and Tillie co-signed all day every day.

I am sitting here trying to think of WHO in this group would be able to keep the others calm. Which attorneys here are in Cali? We would need some assistance.

In that case ESF all your powers and skills would be needed after I showed my ENTIRE natural Black ass.

tillie, it isn't one thing, it's just your overall tone and beliefs.
And I refuse to use being sheltered as any type of excuse. ::climbs on high horse to repeat:: I READ A BOOK to understand my IL's, so I roll my eyes at these type of excuses.
Are train rides even quiet? Wouldn't you have to talk fairly loud over the train noise in the first place? I mean who expects a moving vehicle the size of...well...a train....to be a quiet experience?

I haven't been following this thread, but I have been following the story. I'm fucking appalled. I go up to wine country all the time. And I will tell you, the loudest group in any place is always, ALWAYS the 23 year old white girl bachelorette party. And I have never seen them kicked out of anywhere, much less told to pipe down.

Yeah, it's the wine country equivalent of a booze cruise. You are taking a train around to day drink. It's not the fucking quiet car on the Acela Express. Sure, you've got your tight asses that go to wine country to be snooty and look for the perfect cab to cellar, but those people are not on this train. This is for tourists that want to spend the day getting loaded on 1 ounce tasting pours.

Welp. If they had tried this with my mother and her friends by the time the police arrived there would be need for law enforcement cause they might have been laughing at first but putting them off would have shifted the game tremendously.
Every single time I hear that line in Why did I get Married I think of pennypenny

Totally or all the old white male boomers.
YES. There is always that crew of of a half dozen or so 50 year old McMansion dwellers from Danville in their preppy clothes getting bombed while talking about golf and stocks.
