Just what a straphanger needs to make his day complete -- two psycho broads, both of them with a sense of entitlement.
Is it entitlement to not take guff from some would-be Tyra Banks?
Man, that black girl got her ass handed to her. She was nothing but attitude with the way she waved her hands in that woman's face. Typical intimidation tactic you learn in the hood. But she had no courage to back it up once the fists actually started flying. Somebody sure lost some street cred. Hey, sista, I'd tone it down next time. The next Asian woman you pick a fight with may know some kind of martial art. I remember the news once saying that half the people in Taiwan know kung fu.
The IOC needs to rack their brains and somehow turn this into an olympic event.
That bus fight video is well on its way to becoming an Internet sensation. There already are parody versions and versions set to music.
The young woman in the sleeveless shirt is the real hero of the video. She pretty much single-handedly stopped the fight despite having no obligation to do so. To hell with Obama, she deserves the Nobel Peace Prize!
And she's cute to boot!
As long as we're linking to non-NYC stuff, I wanna see the Colorado shoot-out video here, please...
It was in Toledo, Ohio. Video at bottom. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1219766/Caught-camera-The-moment-bar-room-brawl-turns-Wild-West-shoot-out.html
Five people firing wildly and not a single injury!
Thank you, yes, I knew there were a couple of "O"s in there.
No, that young lady deserves to get slapped. She is a weak sponge and couldn't even speak a word of Chinese and probably had no clue what has transpired. Another lady who is seated grabbed the Chinese lady and said "Don't fight any more".
That black lady wouldn't give up her 2 seats after the chinese lady politely asked her if she could sit down on one of them. The black lady had already hit the chinese lady before the filming started because someone says "hit her back!" in Cantonese at the very beginning.
Good to see the Chinese lady fight back.
Someone tell me how to say "You go, girl!" in Chinese please.
Just when things were getting good with the Oriental woman pummeling the Negro woman from behind - anyhow, I say the Oriental woman wins....!
All the above uses of the word 'Oriental' are starting to help narrow down the age in which most Gothamist commenters are. It puts it in the not-so-creepy range of 55-70.
so Move over, American Apparel, so Darkie toothpaste can move right on in!
Would you rather them use the term Asian, which could be used to describe everyone from Russia, China, India, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia, Japan, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan and all the other -stans?
East, South, Southeast, Central Asians/Asia, problem solved. Oriental is what you call a plate not a person.
It's what YOU call a plate. Before all of this PC nonsense, it was a perfectly fine term for those from the Orient! But now that you mention it, we should no longer be called American because that's the name of an airline, not a person.
LMAO!!! At 1:32, the Chinese lady throws a kung-fu pose!
That black lady got her ass beat! She struck first so she got what she deserved.
When are all of you going to realize that the real problem here is that Yoko Ono was sitting there egging them on.
i have to say this...
"When keeping it real goes wrong"!
This is not a response to your post, but it just brought to mind...when the separatist whites back in the Jim Crow era labeled the signs "whites" and "coloreds", did they not know that "white" IS a color? How moronic was that?
considering the fact that quite a few of you commenters on this page are foaming hate mongers I really shouldn't contribute my thoughts, BUT hopefully the viral fame of this video can highlight that regardless of how it starts, people need to walk away from this absurd conflicts that have little to nothing to do with the totality of one's actual life. I don't know how this got started but the sister either didn't know or didn't care that she instigated the event. never mind the angry name calling by the asian woman, all the sister had to do was back away, without looking away, and maybe close her ears at the same time. instead, she get's her head pounded and her ass handed to her. fail.
and for all the future chinatown challengers out there, i've ridden the Q train and the chinatown busy enough to get yelled at and elbowed by entire communities of tired asian ladies, and you have to know behind that rapid fire accented screed they shout is a can a whup-ass waiting to be opened.
the black lady had her purse on the seat and the chinese lady wanted to sit down and said, "excuse me". The black lady moved the purse then proceeded to yell at the chinese lady.
the chinese guy in the background is yelling, "hit her! hit her until she is afraid!"
that's not what happened. the chinese lady said 'you have shoes that would make dirt scared they are so ugly' to which the other woman replied 'i'll move my bag of the seat because i don't want you robbing me'. this in turn offended the brightly color lass who tore into her with 'if i was to steal from your bag i would also be a classless ho. since i'm not, i won't... stupd'. incensed, lil kim responded by invading kim-che's personal space and proceeded to read excerps from "I have a dream". enraged, the chinese woman(who's father was trampled to death at a rally of Dr King) flung the deepest insult she could think of 'fuk que' which of course translates to 'you lotus badge is filled with mustard gas and sawdust which causes men to never want to put their wand's near you'
at this point, all hell breaks loose. the afro-samurai throws an overhand punch-fist which is adeptly dodged and countered with the 'windmill of cat death punch fury move' by ma'Lee. this causes our bag-seating fighter to lose all continence which upsets the great fighter 'One With no Sleeves' to step up and say 'WTF mates?' to which everyone responds 'thank god it's you and not me being responsible'. the ends
No, the Chinese guy says "hit her back. Don't be afraid of her". The older Chinese lady sitting down says "Don't let her pick on you".
My impression is that people on that bus are sick of black people disrepecting everyone else.
gas face goes out to asian american girl for saving the instigator's ass.
Being a former Muni worker, this act is obvious to me a more advanced statement of hostile occupation, by the foreign Chinese regime. At the yard that I worked, it is segragated. The bus cleaners are all US Citizens, while the mechanics are all Chinese. That field operative that attacked the elderly black woman approached me on the bus before. Her method of operation (MOB), is to first make offensive physical contact, to the extent of molestation. And, even if the elderly colored (Black) woman would have made a more less aggressive statement, this would not have prevented the operative from further advancing the physical assault. It is the operational intention of MUNI to depict individuals as pawns in its operatus of warship, and MUNI must be controlled at this level. The bus driver had no other option, other than to coverup this scandal, since blacks are a minority. And scapegoating the driver is a senseless and cowardly way, that won't provide more rights of protection for the US consumer riders. Face-up, racism in San Francisco isn't a Black White thing in San Francisco, it is the Majority Minority thing, and the minority is the United States of American Citizen.
What the heck are you talking about? Is the Chinese woman is a sleeper agent of the communists? There ain't no elderly lady here, the black woman looks to be younger than the Chinese one. Please don't comment again until you can get those crazy conspiracy nonsenses out of your head.
He posted an identical comment on SFist. Sorry about that, our local crazies are generally content to pace back and forth in front of their friendly neighborhood Starbucks.
Also, the idea that Muni could organize anything more complicated beyond the color scheme of a bus transfer is hilarious.
THIS is exactly why I don't own black people anymore ...too problematic!
wtf? that is not funny
But it's true.
Unfortunately slavery was a part of the history of the western world. If it wasn't the world would have turned out a bettr place for all.
