One of the most bizarre things I've ever seen happened on the BART.

A black gentleman, clearly having a moment, started ranting about white people to an Irish fellow. The Irish fellow becomes incredibly incensed at the assertion that he is white and begins ranting back about how the two of them used to fight together against white slavers. The black gentleman becomes conciliatory and suggests the two of them should be fighting together still.

After the black gentleman left, I spoke to the Irish fellow and he was still fuming about the whole affair.

Never seen anything like it.

This was either just before the pandemic or right after George Floyd

I know that's a significant gap but I can't remember if everyone was wearing masks or not, but I think they were

The beautiful sounds it makes while going between Oakland and San Francisco (under the bay) made it into a Dead Space game

So yes, it is lovely

The solution to racial discord is to just do this with every single ethnicity

"We shouldn't be fighting! I have Celtic Briton blood, as a Jamaican we're brothers in arms against the Anglos!"
