% ‘ Imagine moving to Othello, in the heart of Seattle's
South End, and then calling the *police* on people
performing hiphop music? And then imagine
suggesting that if they performed some other genre,

wildly disproportionate rates, that suspends black
children from school, that gets kids shot for playing
rap music.
