Car accidents are ........ Racist.

Black people are more likely to die in traffic accidents. Covid made it worse.
More Black people died in traffic deaths in 2020 than any other racial group even though Americans drove less in the pandemic.

Some of the worst accidents I've ever seen have taken place in the last 12 months.
Texting and driving is at epidemic levels.

Duh. Everything is racist. Car wrecks, viruses, banks, restaurants, dogs, cats, bugs, trees…….
Everything
Everything

We need to stop driving for 2 weeks to flatten the curve

Little to no infrastructure funding means those in Black neighborhoods live with poor roads, dangerous proximity to waste sites, little access to public transportation and more.
Along with the systemic nature of this problem, Gladney pointed out that social racism also plays a role in the rising number of traffic fatalities. A 2017 study from the University of Nevada found that drivers are less likely to slow down or stop for Black pedestrians than they are for white ones.

Methodology and Results
Researchers had two female students, one white and one black, of similar height and build and wearing jeans and neutral-colored shirts take turns crossing the street alone in a high- and a low-income neighborhood on opposite ends of the valley about 130 times (roughly 30 times each per neighborhood).
The observations took place between 10 a.m. and noon, peak daylight hours, on a Saturday and Sunday.
So 2 people crossed the road 130 times total over 2 days & they concluded racism

Blacks are just like gays... victimhood is so ingrained that it will never get out of the system.

Meanwhile, the driver's seat is at a 135° angle.

The picture they used is some decent car crashed into the back of an 18 wheeler Jayne Mansfield style. So racist. 
Just a few days ago there was an article about how black people are more likely to go to the hospital after a car wreck. Ignoring the fact many of the trips are unnecessary and just an attempt to Get Gordon.

There are more sidewalks, pedestrian crossing lights, and lights in general in the urban areas they congregate in… far more than in the white flight suburbs.
ETA Wastesites & not enough access to public transportation ? Blacks porobably make up 90% of public transportation users in any city other than San Fran, Boston, and NYC

Are most driving deaths on surface streets or on elevated express ways like interstates?

More white children drown in pools every year and sharks kill more whites than blacks. See I can make stats fit what I want to prove also.

I live in Atlanta metro, and I drive about 30k per year, minimum. I see a lot of stuff.
I know white people do stupid shiat (dirt roads, mud boggin', etc), don't get me wrong... but there is simply no comparison on the roads.
1. Hanging on the windows while driving. I don't mean just waving, I mean literally sitting in the window. You may think... yeah, you may have seen that once. Nope, I have seen this DOZENS OF TIMES. WTF??
2. Racing. Lots and lots and lots of racing. Dodge Charger, anyone? Sometimes it's not racing, per se, it's obviously a stolen car or leaving a crime scene. I narrowly avoided an Escalade in traffic on GA 400 that bounced of a wall, then off cars as it changed lanes, with parts flying everywhere. Just this past week I was in the middle of a race where one guy was hanging out of his car videoing the line of Chargers on 285 here in town.
3. Motorcycles. Wheelies. Driving between vehicles. Weaving. More wheelies. It's insane. And in Orlando and Atlanta, I have seen packs of motorcycles and ATVs on the roads with as many as 100 in a group, doing donuts, wheelies, generally causing a scene. Must be a back road, right!?!? HAHAH. Nope.
4. Maintenance? What's that? Drive on roads around nice parts of town and then drive thru "not nice" parts of town. How many dead cars on the side of the road can you count? How many dead cars with dealer plates can you count? So many cars are death traps, and often unregistered, salvaged, crap.
5. Leaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnn back. Driving isn't just to get from A to Z. It's a statement. And that statement is, "I am a dumbass." Lean that seat back. Leave that seatbelt off. Smoke weed while in traffic.
6. Lack of any basic training or comprehension of cause and effect. I've never seen as much disregard for common sense as I have with this group. No one does the 3-lane change more often. Check the mirrors first? Nah, that would require mirrors.

Bc they are literally always eating in the car, and it’s always a meal not just some mints or a candy bar

A new film? frick me, it must be about 30 seconds long. How long does it take to have a character come out and say, “In general, black people don’t teach their children how to swim. The end.”

Because people don’t want to get car jacked.

I can feel every ounce of this post deep in my soul. Well said, sir.
