Quote:That's assuming that the Black community needs a Black representative, the White community needs a White representative, the Hispanic community needs a Hispanic representative and so on. I argue Duval needs representatives proportional to their population regardless if they're all White, Black, Hispanic, Asian or a mix of the assortment. Maybe the rural counties like Putnam, Marion, Clay wouldn't have a minority representative, so what, are we to believe that the representatives wouldn't work for the good of the county as a whole just because they belong to a specific race?

 

If racial representation trumps proportional representation we're screwed. Let's just scrap the republican and democratic parties and have a black, white and brown parties if that's the case. To me that's going backwards?
