Former City Council member Elaine Brown remembers the incident well. She was sitting at a light when a car pulled up beside her in the left turn lane. After a moment or two, the driver opened his door, leaned out and did something. The signal turned green and he turned left. "There was this big mound of cigarette butts," said Brown, who is current running for the State House of Representatives. "I was so mad."

Elaine Brown’s observations about the lack of minority concern/involvement/membership within the Green Party are absolutely true. It is the same problem that has plagued leftist 3rd parties for decades—the Citizens Party, the People’s Party, the Progressive Party, all the way back to the Socialist Party of America. Pitifully small numbers of people of color are involved. I’m not sure what the reason for this is, but it has always been the case; it’s not just a Green Party problem.
