    So what? Blacks are the largest minority in Oakland, it's a safe bet, just as it's a safe bet the person who called the cops on the fireman is a liberal. Your reference to women is insane unless you think women are the ones committing the crimes on the BART trains. So if BART wasn't talking about blacks, then who were they talking about? The second largest minority in Oakland is Latinos. But you're so politically correct you won't even name a minority even though BART said the minorities were committing the crimes. Combined, blacks and Latinos make up 53% of Oakland's population. So are you going to correct me and tell us which minority BART was referring to? You libs claim to know everything, why not that?

    When I worked in pile driving out of Oakland, CA, one of the journeymen rode his Harley to the jobs. Well, looking at him made him seem to be in the Hells Angels. As time passed, he said he was a member. Too far back for me to recall his name. Going from Memory, Bargers house was above the MacArthur Freeway maybe around 65th Ave. Either on a corner or next to one. Not a house to brag about. Going up hill it was on the right.

    If Phil was right of course.

    Not true. Many non white non male were qualified, but were left out.
    Ever hear the of the 'good ole boys club'? Do you think it was completely made up?
    Maybe you aren't old enough to remember things prior to the 1970s. Or read history books.
    There was a time when blacks were slaves, not counted as people, women could not vote.
    Many non white males have been held back during the founding of the country. Even though there is a statement in found documents about 'all men being created equal'. But equal chances were not given.

    I know its difficult but do you even realize not only has it not been proven the people who reported this man are white or racist but that I've proven with 5 examples that fake fireman do exist and have been caught?

    It only takes 1 or 2 posts to see your view, thoughs, and opinions. We know about you calling things spades. Since color is important.

    You don't want it backed up. You want to say I lied.

    But when do you know of the superior group being handed things by Government?

    So long as you are showing consistency...I do not think it is a good idea, but..Ok. You want to abolish Preference points for government jobs....As far as I know that is the only thing AA affects.

    Educate me if it effects other things government has control of.

    Here in the hermit kingdom of California criminals dress up as city employees or as utility service employees to gain access to homes and burglarize them during the day time.

    Mexican bad hombres will dress up like cops to pull off home invasions.

    You have to ask for a real ID and not accept a badge.

    I will tell you who color is important to. YOU
    You keep making a huge fuss over color.

    Want to know who else sees color?

    Your government sees color. It annoyed me on loan applications to keep telling Government the color of the applicants.

    Please let us know when you have evidence the person who called is racist.

    I've already proven people who impersonate firemen are real making the suspicion completely plausible.

    Or is it just always racist if the victim is black with no evidence to support it?

    Im talking today, not the 80s. Want me to list female ONLY or black ONLY companies? Or you can just Google it. I did 2 documentaries on them. Want to know why they started businesses that were made up of only women or black people? The most common answer was feeling comfortable or empowered. Funny that if a men said such a thing they’re just bigots.

    Women have always worked in tech. As many as men? No. But then far more men loved and breathed tech since it’s inception. Women have really only gotten into the game with serious numbers, this past decade. So they’re well behind the 8ball. But the talented ones work. And hey can create apps and start their own businesses anytime they want. Just because the most talented guys prefer to start businesses Witt other talented guys doesn’t make them bad people. Geeky guys find other geeky guys. It’s just nature who they’re most comfortable around. No different then women or black people being most comfortable around their own as well. The issue is a bunch of men are evil and a bunch of women or black peolple aren’t. It’s a screwed up stigma to place on guys who never did anything wrong.

    No one cares about your unverified claims of personal testimony so please, spare us.

    So you have no evidence to support your BS claim once again. Got it.

    Fake firemen are out there and I proved it unlike your claims.

    I am merely, correctly, pointing out, women are likely to be the largest minority in Oakland. Even more of them than Blacks. Yes, many women will be black also, but there will be white women, asian women, latina women, and likely some others as well.

    You can not get away from the fact you called out BLACKS are the reason BART won't release videos of crimes. You stated it, you own it. While the story only referred to minority as the reason and a potential for some backlash.

    Which the firefighter did. And his partner, nearby and white, vouched that he did. But that wasn't good enough. Because the firefighter was black. According to the OP and subsequent links.

    Are you kidding? The OP and his supporters are claiming this was racist with no evidence whatsoever and ignoring the reality its been proven that people have impersonated firemen for over a decade.

    Then show us it was racial. You can't prove it but you keep claiming it over and over again. Says a lot more about you than the evidence.

    Read the wiki link.
    A program to help minorities that had been discriminated against, in the past. At least in the USA.
