Seattle Mayor Adds Diet Drinks to His Soda Tax ‘To Tackle White Privilege’...what do diet drinks have to do with white privilege? - sometimes I think lefties have a big bowl full of scraps of paper with verbs written on them, and another with nouns, and one with adjectives, and they just reach in to pick at random any time they want to make a public statement - whatever gets strung together becomes their message of the day - doesn't matter if it makes sense, as long as it has the right buzz-words throughout......

He can engage in this racism and no federal judge will step in to stop him, like they do on everything else?

This is the one who has several child molestation charges against him. Is he just trying to whip up some controversy to distract?

Those targeted minorities seem to be very well fed =>

21.4 percent of Latina females and 22.4 percent of Latino males are obese;

20.7 percent of Black females and 18.4 percent of Black males are obese;

15.1 percent of White females and 14.3 percent of White males are obese;

5.3 percent of Asian females and 11.8 percent of Asian males are obese.

Haven’t heard anything about Sessions lately.

Wonder if he got a stiff wrist yet.

This country is at the abyss of assholism. Something eventually will give and it will not be pretty. Pun intended.

Isn’t it against the law to tax people by race? Can we put a tax on watermelon and fried chicken? Or an “extra tax” on Black and Milds, or how ‘bout “weaves”? That’s crazy!

...which would fund education for minorities–to include diet drinks because affluent white people tend to consume them more.

Please do this! I would love for such a bill to be rammed through.

Why?

Because it would be a bridge too far. This would be too much to take even for people that are normally liberal. Then maybe we can start reversing the tide of this nonsense.

I just pulled up the pic of this idiot and I swear him and Chelsea Clinton’s daddy (no, not Bill) are brutha’s by the same mother........;)

Given that there are more fat blacks than whites, shouldn’t diet soda have a tax CREDIT? Shouldn’t they be sold tax free, to encourage poor overweight blacks to drink them?

Or is Seattle’s mayor trying to kill off blacks? Maybe he’s a closet racist!

Perhaps Seattle ought to buy Diet Cokes, and distribute them free in school lunches...

I can’t believe someone has managed to out-dork Bill DiBlasio, but here we are.

This is bigotry based upon stereotyped assumptions of people. I am not a privileged white and I will have to pay a tax on my diet cola because of a boneheaded stereotype. It is time to move out of Seattle. The Donkey Dunces keep voting in these boneheads every election.

Well it is communist Seattle after all.

Of course, but you've got to think like a liberal => Tax credits for blacks who buy diet soda, and tax levies for whites:)
