Justin Phillips, San Francisco Chronicle – [Steve] Foster’s experience [for eating a breakfast sandwich on the platform] is a microcosm of the other-ization of black people that happens frequently on BART. They’re detained by police more often than any other racial group despite making up a small percentage of total BART customers. These incidents often happen in view of other passengers, which means that as the public rides BART, stereotypes surrounding race are being shaped before its eyes. http://bit.ly/2s3IxOL
