The Seattle Times reports that King County is experiencing an incredible growth in diversity. And Bellevue just became Washington’s largest majority-minority cities.
But the newspaper also reports that Seattle is one of the 10 least diverse cities in the United States. It must be Ed Murray’s policies that are keeping “black and brown” people away. And the Seattle City Council’s policies as well. Does the City Council of Seattle not want “black or brown” people living here? Seattle must be racist.
This is racism because that’s how we now define racism.
Is Mel Gibson really dangerous to Hollywood?
If you were to look back to the disparate impact theory, that the Supreme Court invented into law, you see that if there is a disparate impact on certain races, you don’t need to prove that anyone’s heart was racist itself.
So by Mayor Murray’s party’s own theory, it is racism that more “black and brown” people, as they like to refer to human beings, don’t live in Seattle.
But I’ve heard no hand ringing from Murray or the city council.
So I call on Mayor Murray to have himself investigated for racism. I call on Kshama Sawant, Tim Burgess and the city council to do the same.
We may even need to bring the Feds into this. Maybe we could do what the Obama administration did in Iowa, move people by force.
Or we could do what Conservatives recommend, which is to let people choose for themselves where they want to live and where they can afford to live. We could let human choice drive the equation.
