The leftist utopia city of Seattle, like its sister cities San Francisco and Los Angeles, has a human feces problem. The homeless encampments that clog numerous public open spaces yield a daily deposit of thousands of new human turds on the streets and sidewalks. Almost everyone is bothered by this. However, a proposal to clean up the mess has been labeled "racist" by Councilman Larry Gossett.
Gossett pointed out that "a disproportionate share of the homeless population are minorities. I wonder if we would be so quick to criticize if these deposits were being made by whites? The power-washing that has been proposed will inconvenience the homeless residents. How many of us on the Council would tolerate city employees coming into our homes and power-washing our bathrooms?"
The Councilman also observed that "using power-hoses to intimidate those demonstrating for equal rights was a key tactic of whites repressing blacks during the 1960s. I think the optics of using power-washing the feces will do more damage to our community than the alleged health threat of open-air defecation ever could."
In an effort to generate a compromise solution, council member Claudia Balducci suggested deploying "social workers to pick up the droppings and carry them away in plastic bags. If dog-walkers can accomplish this task, why wouldn't that work? Beat cops could accompany the social workers to protect them from assaults by the homeless residents."
The City Council was unable to agree upon an approach, citing cost as a major impediment. "This is a national problem, not a local problem," Gossett maintained. "We shouldn't be penalized just because the homeless choose to live in our great city. The feds need to provide funding to offset this cost. If FEMA can send aid for hurricane relief, they can send aid to us."

This moron really does oppose hosing off the sidewalks with power hoses on the grounds that is racist because the power hoses represent the fire hoses used during the civil rights on demonstrators.
Wonder what this idiot would say if a group of disgusted citizens were to show up and take a dump on the sidewalk in front of his house?
Use the the fire department. It can be used as training.
From crapping in the woods, to out houses, to indoor plumbing, to crapping on sidewalks. We’ve come a long way baby...sidewalks and all.
I wonder what council members Gary Gross and Jussie Smellitt have to say about this?
Deliver the poo to his house.
Give him a taste of his own .... errh, ... racism.
Is this the beginning of a PC argument that “you think your feces don’t stink?”
Its brown I can see it. No white sh## so their is no claim of white supremisists or white privilege
