Councilman Argues Power Washers are Racist, Since Hoses Used Against Blacks in Past
Seattle has a human feces problem on their streets and sidewalks. But the city council cannot agree on how to remove the crap.
Councilmember Larry Gossett
Councilmember Larry Gossett says power-washing the sidewalks bring up images of using hoses against civil rights activists.
The Seattle News reported:
Some committee members expressed concern about addressing the symptoms of the area’s problems without getting to the cause. Councilmember Larry Gossett said he didn’t like the idea of power-washing the sidewalks because it brought back images of the use of hoses against civil-rights activists.
Another council member, Claudia Balducci, suggested that the county consider using social-service employees in partnership with police.
We agree. Sad.
Yes, in the west and southwest parts of the city; the Jews were up along Liberty Road and Park Heights; we Irish lived in the northeast, up around Belair Road, O'Donnell Street; the English and Swedes around and below the Harbor. Generally speaking...
Sad, indeed. And none of that toothpaste is going back into the tube.
Agree. It would take a wide-scale revival. Politics can never accomplish it. Putting my money on prayer.
LOL! And if you call it a “sh*t hole”, that’s racist too.
