Lightfoot declares racism a ‘public health emergency,’ will divert $10 mil in Covid funds to it
June 18, 2021 | Tom Tillison

With murders running rampant in Chicago, the third-largest city in America, Mayor Lori Lightfoot continues to push her radical left social justice agenda, which includes steering money to preferred causes that may assure future votes.

On Friday, the Democrat declared that racism is a “public health emergency,” which will allow her to reallocate $10 million in COVID-19 relief funds to address racism in the Windy City — keep in mind the mayor and police chief are black, as is the city’s top prosecutor, Cook County state’s attorney Kimberley Foxx. Also, 20 of the 50 aldermen making up the City Council are black.

Lightfoot declared Thursday that systemic racism — not the out-of-control killing in primarily black neighborhoods — is a leading factor in a 9.2-year life expectancy gap between black and non-black residents.

The leading factor in a 9.2-year life expectancy gap between black and non-black residents is most likely due to lead poisoning.

Right. She refuses to arrest inner-city career criminals, so innocent suburban and rural gun owners must be made to pay.

This insane woman is destroying Chicago.  But at this point, I really don't care.

So she’s using Covid funds to engratiate herself with the black community, steering money earmarked for the general public welfare into their pockets.

I would’ve thought this was illegal but using the ‘but racism’ explanation makes it all good.

Solution is for all whites to move out so there cannot be any more racism.

Chicago alderman rips Lightfoot after 'completely hypocritical' new demand for federal crime help

Quote
"It's completely hypocritical from this mayor that didn't want help from President Trump—whom I was not a fan of—but now needs help from Joe Biden," he told Fox News anchor Martha MacCallum. "Clearly the politics of it was more important than saving peoples' lives."

You may have a fundamental misunderstanding of how the rules have changed. In 2021a black person killing an Asian is proof of white supremacy.

Any chance it violates some federal law to "divert" covid funds to phony-baloney anti-racism efforts?  :pondering:

Nah. "White Flight" is just more evidence of racism, just like the sun rising in the East and setting in the west.
Calm day: racism.
Windy? Yep Racism.

That's all these people can see. They have their RaceBan sunglasses on.

Here is the actual public health emergency.  And no arrests at all, even though it was caught on video.

There actually are people defending this, because they believe the couple were flying a Confederate battle flag (hint: it was the PR flag). Thank public education once again for creating a few generations of illiterates.

And to think for the 6 years when I used to travel through NYC in my little red pickup I had a confederate flag as my front license plate, I never had an issue with anyone objecting.

Apparently both historical and moral.

Oh how horrible!!!!  Anyone ever arrested?

This killing is the definition of racism.

I think I'll just stay in my small town in Texas....

The good news is these feral animals tend to kill each other with glee.  IMO that won't happen soon enough.
