I don't think I said or implied classical music is racist. The type of music is not relevant. What does matter is the intent of the decision makers. It appears they chose a certain type of music with the goal of driving away certain classes of people from a quasi-public space under jurisdiction of a government agency. That is discrimination at best, and racism at worst. What if instead of homeless people they decided they didn't want Jewish people on the LA Metro, and played sound and had images to drive them away?
Authorities should absolutely enforce the law, but they should do it in a way that does not appear to be discrimination or profiling.
In the case of the homeless perhaps the end justifies the means. In that case, why play music? Collect the homeless in police vans and drive them out to the desert to die. What group is next, old people?
Would you agree that being homeless does not cause crime, and that crime a mental health issue and comes from a poor upbringing and family values? That is- homeless does not cause crime, people cause crime.
Now substitute the word guns for the word homeless. It's exactly the same argument. Your thoughts?
