How dare the racist media question the fine way Chicago’s democratically elected leaders are governing the City with Broad Shoulders?
As unrest swept the city Sunday, aldermen pleaded with Mayor Lori Lightfoot to help them protect their communities from roving bands of criminals clashing with police and looting businesses.
WTTW News obtained a recording of an online conference call held by the mayor’s office to brief all 50 aldermen on the city’s response to the unrest touched off by the death of George Floyd in the custody of Minneapolis police.
While one alderman wept, others grew angry with the mayor, demanding to know what her strategy was to stop the violence that began in earnest late Saturday.
Mayor Lightfoot is a brave and stunning woman of color, and there is absolutely no reason besides racism to believe she cannot run the city as well as any white man, in fact, she can run it better because she understands the 400-year plight of the 887,608 Black Americans in her city.
She certainly can’t do any worse than the Jewish guy who was parachuted into Minneapolis to become the next Senator from Minnesota. At least Chicago hasn’t actually burned down yet.
