City Sued for Making Race a Qualification for Commissioners

The city of Asheville, N.C., has found itself on defense, in a federal courtroom, for requiring that members of a city commission be of certain races.

Officials with the Pacific Legal Foundation have filed a complaint in U.S. District Court in Asheville on behalf of John P. Miall and several others against the city, its manager and its mayor. . .

The problem is if an applicant isn’t the right race, he or she isn’t even considered. . .

The commission was created by the city in 2018, and its purpose is to “promote and improve human relations and achieve equity among all citizens in the city by carrying out the city’s human relations program.”

Then it turned racist, with a scheme demanding that six of the members are required to be “African-Americans,” and another two “Latinx.” (Read more from “City Sued for Making Race a Qualification for Commissioners” HERE)
