We’re not looking to put words into people’s mouths, but we have to assume that when men and women marched for civil rights in this country, this isn’t the sort of thing they had in mind:
Former At-Large DC Council candidate Addison Sarter is expected to propose a new ballot initiative: the Black Autonomy Act. It would create autonomous African American areas within D.C. with their own mayor and legislatures — including Anacostia, Langdon/Brentwood, Shepherd Park.

To be against segregation is to be against basic human rights? That’s a new one.
Now, beyond the usual challenges of collecting tens of thousands of signatures for any ballot initiative, this one could potentially violate portions of the Home Rule Act — which means it couldn't get on the ballot to begin with.

It certainly doesn’t belong on a ballot. Nothing this stupid should ever be on a ballot.
