This action should improve the city’s quality of life.
Another re-write of history. Laws against sins of sex, drunkeness, etc orginated with religious groups. There was zero influence of race (one way or the other) in these laws.
Then they should open the prison doors and let all of them out that were convicted of those crimes. What could go wrong?
These people have no self awareness. That is more racist than the killing of Rayshard Brooks will ever be.
anyone ever ask them to cite proof? what races exactly were targeted? wheres the actual, hard evidence?
How about striking down tax laws. It seems people are forced to pay for literally nothing.
Yuck. Chaos and lawlessness.
Racial origins? Because only blacks have ever been drug dealers or prostitutes?
What could possibly go wrong?
I wonder if white prostitutes will be exempt as well. Given the Maoists in Slum Seattle, it wouldn’t surprise me if they didn’t. I expect that more people will complain about hookers and druggies hanging around the streets.
The World’s Oldest Profession certainly pre-dates 1619, so I don’t get the connection!

Seattle is soooooooo dead.
Let’s get some videographers out there to document what happens when the left has total rule.
Hopefully, we can disinfect the place once all have died/deserted, then rebuild it modeled on a modern society. (Note: Liberal is NOT modern, Marx and other addle headed dorks have tried. Not one has succeeded.)
Indeed. What our this idiot city council is saying, is that vagrants, drug-dealers and prostitutes are mostly black and brown - AND that’s its an inseparable part of their character and culture.
Well, that’s mighty white of Seattle. And racist.
The best way to keep black folks out of jail is make everything legal. That should cover their problem areas.
I think there was a significant racial element to the anti-slavery laws. Almost all the people freed by the 13th Amendment were black. How can such a law stand?
“Seattle Strikes Down Drug And Prostitution Loitering Laws, Citing Racial Origins”
cool! they’re gonna turn seattle into a real-life “Pottersville”!
Could there be a more flagrant ethnic slur than rescinding laws against prostitution and drug dealing on racial/ethnic grounds? What’s next, striking down laws against public drunkenness and disorderly conduct to accommodate the Irish?
Thank you and well said.....
I believe MOST laws are biased based on the sex of the perpetrator. With some 90%+ of all incarcerations being of men, it’s incontestable there is an inherent structural bias.
