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…
And that is their potential.
Savages
I believe the whole idea now (since 50 years of affirmative action give-aways have failed very publicly) is that too many blacks get caught up in our legal system which is rigged to prevent them from achieving (by giving them criminal records or putting them behind bars). Rather than expect civilized behavior, we are to lower our expectations: de-criminalize drug use, and now public urination.
New York values.
The Klan couldn’t possibly do more damage to black people than White liberals have.
The front of the building she lives in and her parking spots should be designated as public urinals. Goes for any other officials voting for this.
Isn’t there a leash law and a scooper law that would apply? I sort of expect it from my dachshund, but...
Funny episode.
Pi$$ on NYC values.
Monkey Laws.
The Health Dept agrees with this? Silly me, I thought cleaning up cities to improve public health was the reason the health dept exists.
This is a joke, right?
More NY values?
The Klan was invented by democrats, liberals are democrats. The Tammany Tiger (democrats) doesn't change its stripes just the way it hunts.
Go find your car.
Yet another reason to avoid NYC.
Go ahead, bite the Big Apple, don’t mind the maggots.
Maybe this is SUPPOSED to get them to thinking about their dignity?
Maybe that’s next for the #2 side of things?
