A Neighborhood Association In Wealthy Part Of Seattle Instituted An Anti-Racist Agenda
and here’s what happened next:
Water fountains: After installing an ADA compliant water fountain, they decided to keep the original water fountain because it was convenient for smaller children. Someone complained that two water fountains on the same floor might evoke memories of segregated facilities and the original water fountain was removed. LED Lit Metal Monkeys: Every holiday season, members of the neighborhood business district displayed decorative monkeys in their windows. This complimented the nearby Woodland Zoo WildLights, perhaps as “escaped” animals. After a complaint from a black association member, the association decided they had not taken into account racist symbolism associating monkeys and black people, so in a step towards dismantling systematic racism, they voted to ban the monkeys.Interesting response to one of the FAQs asking if the monkeys would be made available for purchase by the general public:
Because of the reason we are retiring the monkeys, we are not offering them to individuals to go back out into the community
This is an example of political correctness/racial identity politics going to the the point of absurdity. Common sense Americans reject these crazy notions and help to explain why Dems lost seats in the House and affirmative action ballot initiatives failed in California.
