Washington State GOP Senator Says “Colored” People Are More Likely To Commit Crimes
By: Keith Brekhus

During a floor debate on racial impact statements, a Washington State Republican Senator, Jim Honeyford, stated that “colored” people are more likely to commit crimes. While responding to fellow Senator Democrat Bob Hasegawa, to clarify an earlier remark, Honeyford stated:

I said the poor are more likely to commit crimes and colored most likely to be poor. I didn’t say anything else other that. And I believe that’s an accepted fact. If you check any of your sociology books or anything else, you’ll find that’s an accepted fact of our society.
