Title: Seattle: Bicycle helmets are Racist
Post by: Kwon on February 24, 2022, 04:05:55 AM
Seattle: The King County Board of Health voted to repeal its helmet law for bicycle riders over concerns the law was racist against blacks.

The helmets aren't Jheri Curl friendly. Until the manufacturers start treating all hairstyles equally they deserve the ban.

This where I'm supposed to say "No, I demand more laws which eliminate my choices and empower the government to decide what's best for me," right?

When dealing with a liberal, just make sure you call them a racist first, before they say it of you.  Beat them to the punch, watch them collapse.

Maybe the USA can invade Canada, and Russia can use that valid pretext as an invalid pretext to invade the USA?

That's a good point. I'm not even sure if helmets do anything. It wouldn't surprise me if it was just more safety theatre. I don't know what the studies say. But whether the law is stupid or not, disproportionate enforcement against Blacks who disproportionately wear helmets less often is not racist. The law may be stupid, but Blacks aren't being targeted due to race. They just don't wear helmets as often.

If the libtards wanted to show this law was racist, they can explain why Whites are disproportionately ticketed for helmet violations compared to Asians. Reality: Whites just violate that bylaw more often than Asians. Race has nothing to do with it.

I also want government to stay out of our lives though. And I'm not saying the helmet requirement is a good policy - I'm just saying it's not racist.

Recently it was found that traffic cameras are racist as blacks get caught with them disproprtionally. Not because blacks disproportonally drive too fast.

Last year in the UK oximeters were found to be racist as they overestimated the level of oxygen in minorities blood. I thought "race" was only skin deep?

That's why a former Getbigger I recently spoke to on the phone called you a board treasure. Well...it was related to your knowledge on specific compounds used by certain pros to yield certain results, but posts like the one above are great too.

Yes - everything is racist apparently. All races are equal, except White people who are evil oppressors and the scourge of the earth. All other races are perfect and can do no wrong.

It's weird that members of every other race flood into White-majority countries, and not the other way around.

Nobody wore bicycle helmets when I was a kid.

Everyone is going to die from tricycle head trauma b/c of blacks while the chinks get away with a plague and a douchebag in East Europe is flexing on villages b/c he has nukes.

ADOS has been warned.

But I can't blame ADOS.  It's actually the 400 years of failure in Africa.

Bicycle helmets  LOL  ;D

What a bunch of soft ass weaklings they produce these days:

TO ALL THE KIDS WHO LOVED THROUGH THE 60's and 70's !!

First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.

They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing, tuna from a can, and didn't get tested for diabetes.

Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.

We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.

As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.

Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.

We drank water from the garden hose and NOT from a bottle.

We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.

We ate cupcakes, white bread and real butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because......WE WERE ALWAYS OUTSIDE PLAYING!!

 We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.

No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.

 We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.

 We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms..........WE HAD FRIENDS and we went outside and found them!

 We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.

We ate worms and mud pies made from dirt, and the worms did not live in us forever.

We were given BB guns for our 10th birthdays,

made up games with sticks and tennis balls and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes.

We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just yelled for them!

Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!

The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!

This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!

The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.

We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned HOW TO DEAL WITH IT ALL!

And YOU are one of them!

CONGRATULATIONS!

You might want to share this with others who have had the luck to grow up as kids, before the lawyers and the government regulated our lives for our own good.

and while you are at it, forward it to your kids so they will know how brave their parents were.

Kind of makes you want to run through the house with scissors, doesn't it?!

Here's my guess as to the rationale for this...

Anyone who lives in the PNW knows how fucking annoying the bicycling culture is. The most entitled douche bags on the planet. And you see these guys and women riding on their bikes to and from work and they're decked out like it's the fucking tour de france. They would never dream of riding with out their helmets. And they're all mostly white.

Now as anyone who's ever lived in a predominantly black slum or low income city you'd also know that it's a common sight to see people walking down the middle of the street. People of all ages riding bikes lazily around the same street corners all day long.

My guess is that riding with out a helmet is a minor infraction of the motor code. My guess also is cops site the helmet law as a pretext to stop young black guys on bicycles in order to actually investigate for drug dealing. They probably have no real interest in the helmet violation but its a legal justification to stop someone.

So when the stats are audited it shows a disproportionate number of blacks being stopped for the helmet violation.

Now blacks could just go buy a helmet but that would require the government to hold the community responsible.  So the solution is get rid of this fairly petty law.

Just wait for the day in the very near future when some law is deemed racist and the solution will be to exempt blacks from the particular law and only enforce the law on whites.

I ride a bicycle - a lot. I always wear a helmet because I was one of those young guys who rode all over as a kid and crashed and smacked my skull to the point I lost consciousness. So I invested in one of them thar "Tour de France" style helmets and I'm good to go. I guess I'm an entitled white guy too since I bought it with my own money - obtained no doubt because of my  white privilege. It feels good to be part of the ruling class.


That being said, I don't care if anyone else wears one, and I think helmet laws are government overreach. We need to wear them in races because of liability issues and yeah- I saw a guy hit his skull in our pack in a Washington DC race and die. So it makes sense.


The injection of racism into everything these days is simply a wedge issue to get more people to hate each other while the politicians screw us more and more.
