A New York City politician has introduced a bill which allows black people to urinate in public so they can “fulfill their potential.”
Personally, I think this politicians’ expectations of black people are too low. But they did choose to vote her into office, and I have no right to tell them what their goals in life should or shouldn’t be.
The New York Times reports:
New York City is poised to reshape how it treats many so-called quality-of-life offenses, softening its stance toward low-level infractions like public urination…
Under the legislation, New Yorkers given tickets by the police… would in many cases be steered to a civil process rather than criminal court…
“We know that the system has been really rigged against communities of color in particular,†said Ms. Mark-Viverito, who has promoted such reforms and is the main sponsor of the bills. “So the question has always been, what can we do in this job to minimize unnecessary interaction with the criminal justice system, so that these young people can really fulfill their potential?â€
Health officials, for example, agreed to repeal a section of the department’s rules that forbids public urination…
The issue of public urination became a subject of intense public debate last summer…
Urine New York.
Frederick Douglass would be so proud...
Such a great idea, from people who are smarter than we in flyover country.
The devolution of modern society. Flinging poo can’t be far behind.
Lovely.
They already do.
Black Privilege.
“I could get Uromysitisis poisoning and die...Do you think I enjoy living like this?...the shame, the humiliation...You know I have been issued a public urination pass by the city because of my condition.”
Now, this is what I call real leadership for the black community...
Actually it allows bums of any color to pee in the street.
Or on your blog.
We know that the system has been really rigged against communities of color in particular, said Ms. Mark-Viverito-
We do?
“Damn this water is cold.”
“It’s deep, too!”
I won’t give the NYT a hit to read the article so someone please explain to me how not being able to legally urinate in public could possibly limit the aspirations of Black People.
Is this a case of the “New York” values I have been hearing so much about?
Yes; banning zoo-like behavior obviously targeted blacks (in Ms. Mark-Viverito’s mind).
We truly have became a third world country. Downright embarrassing.
“I could get Uromysitisis poisoning and die...Do you think I enjoy living like this?...the shame, the humiliation...You know I have been issued a public urination pass by the city because of my condition.â€
No more hiding in parking garages . .Jerry will be so ‘relieved.’
So blacks can relieve themselves in public while if a white person did so it would be a crime. Is that what the proposed law is about?
