Brickbat: No Entrance

Following a complaint that one entrance to Romare Bearden Park in Charlotte-Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, wasn't handicapped accessible, officials used benches to block that stairway. Some people are now using another entrance to the park, but others, who presumably aren't handicapped, are simply going over or around the benches.

Who the fuck do these privileged straight white shit lords think they are!?

I certainly hope that path beaten around the bench is handicap accessible.

Why am I thinking that this is a good metaphor for when the State tries to fix inequality?

[Suthenboy]

Because it is.

[Nosea]

I thought it was a metaphor about
de-flate gate.

The benches were placed to block the stairs as a "temporary measure," [while] designers are evaluating a long-term fix.

This fix had jolly well better include access for the completely bedridden.

[Fist of Etiquette]

They should nuke the non-accessible entrance from orbit.

[Rich]

Now, *that* is "equal access".

[Charles Easterly]

... and the only way to be sure.

[AlmightyJB]

Won't someone think of the dead.

[Charles Easterly]

No. They don't have "personhood."

Nor do zombies, as I understand it.
