The voters passed Prop.11 to take the politics out of redistricting. It did not take the yelling and threats of bigots out of the mix.
Read Prop. 11. It is clear as to who can, and cannot serve, on the Commission. No where does it provide a formula for racial mix--that would be illegal.
The law does not stop the George Wallace wing fo the Democrat Party from screaming racism--that is what they do. "Ethnic groups charge that the pool of applicants is too white and too male to reflect the state's diversity. Others are raising questions about $1.3 million in taxpayer money being spent on a public relations contract to woo minority applicants. And an effort is afoot to repeal the commission, which voters created by passing a 2008 ballot initiative."
Tax dollars are being used to promote bigotry--shame on us for allowing George Wallace politics in California.
Is it time for the rest of us to demand the end of racism in California? These folks must be ignored, unless we want a State that looks like Alabama in the1960's.
