Damn racist traffic accidents!

NYT - Damn racist traffic accidents
I was looking at my bumper the other day and wondering “is that motherfricker racist?”

Vehicle crashes seem as if they might be an equal-opportunity public health problem. Americans in every demographic group drive, after all. If anything, poor families tend to rely more on public transportation and less on car travel. Yet vehicle deaths turn out to be highly unequal.

African Americans seem to have a problem with impulse control and wreckless behavior (see high crime statistics for evidence). It makes sense that they would be making more poor decisions behind the wheel than other demographics as well.

HA! Situational awareness is a personal responsibility

Good morning. A surge in vehicle crashes is disproportionately harming lower-income families and Black Americans.
Soooo we make lower income families and black Americans stop driving for the sake of equality????
That deck of cards that gives these morons something to write about has to be 2 feet tall.
It’s racist because *pulls card* black Americans get in more wrecks.

This can go on forever.
Nobel Prizes are racist.

So now we should be responsible for putting them in their car and fastening their seat belt for them?

Of course it isn't this...
1. They can't afford cars with better safety features...
2. Rich folks are driving vehicles that are too big...
3. High speed roads tend to travel through poorer areas...
The poors cannot be held at fault...

Next time you are on the road, look for a driver in a 2015 model of any of the following: Chrysler 200, Chevrolet Impala, Hyundai Sonata, Nissan Altima or Kia of any model.
Notice if the sides of the car look as if its sideswiped a gas pump barrier or rear-ended a car at low to moderate speeds (or has been rear-ended)
Notice if the car is passing at a high rate of speed on the right.
Notice if the windows are blacked out. If not, look for signs of seatbelt usage.
Notice if the windows are slightly cracked open and tell us what you smell.

"Lower-income people are much more likely to die in crashes, academic research shows. The racial gaps are also huge — even bigger on a percentage basis than the racial gaps on cancer, according to the C.D.C."

It's hilarious to watch white liberals living in NY admit that they know nothing of the groups they pretend to advocate for without knowing they're actually admitting it

Almost every traffic stop I pass is a black driver. It seems like a good argument that cops are racist, until you notice nearly every person doing stupid shite behind the wheel turns out to be black.
Some of the worse mother fricking drivers I have ever witnessed are black. I just don't get it. It is ridiculous.

editing this with theory

Maybe, after decades of being told they are not to be blamed for bad behavior and that society is against them or that they are owed, many blacks now feel they are owed and own the damn roads. Weaving in and out of traffic, crossing solid lines and the gutter on highways, traveling down the emergency lane, treating stop signs as suggestions, following right on others bumpers, playing thumping loud music so loud they don't hear what is going on around them, dancing and trying to twerk while driving, etc. etc.
Also, rage driving. Hating the world for whatever made up or even real reason. It is a dangerous mix.

Where is the graph that depicts:
• Spatial awareness of the operator
• Environment inside the vehicle
• Cognitive skills of the operator
• The ability to process the surrounding environment with special attention to time, distance, and speed.
• Self-discipline
Hmmm??

Go spend an extended amount of time in a gas station parking lot and you'll learn more about social demographics than in any classroom. One thing you'll learn is that the amount of black dudes that smoke blunts like cigarettes while behind the wheel is staggering. It's the same shite you hear from people like Gravy Chambers about how black people get arrested for drugs more than whites despite usage being the same. Now assuming the usage stat is the same (not sure that it is), it's very clear that one group consumes weed at an exponentially more casual degree than any other group. So, of course that will lead to far more weed related run ins with the law.

So you wish to debate the facts??
Or
Is truth itself racist.

I tend to agree, but is it incorrect? I wish it wasn't true and everyone just drove well, respected each other and yada yada yada.

Exactly what is your definition of ‘racist’
If you cannot define it. Don’t say it.

Do certain groups drive faster, more recklessly, or without seatbelts?
Does this include dumbfricks street racing and doing burnouts?
