AMERICA'S BLACKS ARE THE MOST IGNORANT AND VIOLENT SUBCULTURE IN THE WORLD. THIS IS THE SUBCULTURE OF HATE. WHEN BLACKS ARE NOT HATING ON EVERYONE ELSE, THEY GO OUT AND MURDER EACH OTHER. LOOK AT THE WEEKLY BLACK ON BLACK MURDER RATES IN CHICAGO ALONE. CRIME IN AMERICA IS BLACK. PERIOD.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot Accuses 75% of Chicago of Being Sexist Racists
With a 25% approval rating, no one wants her around.
With 77 people shot last week, it’s another pleasantly murderous autumn week in Chiraq.
Mayor Lori Lightfoot got her $16 billion budget with its focus on ‘equity’ passed. By equity, Lightfoot meant giving herself a maximum 5% raise.
Aldermen, or as the newly woke Windy City calls them, Alderpeople, got a 9% raise.
It is unlikely that Lori will ever see a dime of the pay hikes for her $216,210 salary because they’re due to kick in by 2024. No one thinks Lightfoot will be in office by then except the unions still funding her campaign which managed to burn through $607,449 in campaign funds without even running any ads. It’s another achievement in an administration filled with them.
Where is the money going? Who knows. It’s Chicago. Everyone wants a nibble and a political operation has got a lot of mouths to feed. But everyone knows where her numbers are going.
Last year, Chicago’s failed racist mayor had a 26% approval rating. Up from 16%. Only 5% strongly approved. 50% strongly disapproved. These days her approval rating hovers somewhere in the 25% range. Those are challenging numbers even for Chicago elections in which polls matter much less than poll workers and counting the votes is the real democracy.
That didn’t stop Mayor Lightfoot from announcing that she was running again during the summer. Chicagoans greeted it with the same enthusiasm as a dead rat in the gutter.
“I get angry. They say, sometimes, I take things personally. You know what I say? They’re absolutely right,” Lightfoot rambled in her reelection video.
City residents have been taking her crime wave personally. And they’re angry too.
In a true testament to Lightfoot’s talent for racial healing, even black voters are turning on her as Chicagoans of all races and creeds come together to say that they’d rather have Al Capone’s corpse as mayor..
“Lori Lightfoot has a problem and it’s interesting for a black woman to have a black problem,” a local political analyst observed.
That’s odd because according to Mayor Lightfoot, her only problem is that she’s a black woman in a racist and sexist city.
Lightfoot claimed that “about 99%” of the attacks on her are because she’s a black woman.
“Women and people of color are always held to a different standard,” she whined. And claimed that men “don’t like to see a woman assume power.”
But, nobody, including black people and women, seem to want her to assume power again.
With 5 black candidates running against her, Lightfoot doesn’t have a base anymore except the one in the mirror. But that hasn’t stopped her from blaming everything on racism and sexism.
“I don’t look or sound like any other mayor we’ve ever had before, and I’ve had to fight to get a seat at the table,” Lightfoot complained in her reelection announcement, taking the familiar aggrandizing and self-pitying tone that grated on the city throughout her entire mayoral career.
Absent from the Hillaryesque pitch is any reason why normal people should care.
The implicit message is that anyone who votes against her is a sexist racist or a racist sexist. And with polls showing her doomed to defeat, Chicago must be the most sexist racist city ever.
If only 25% approve of Lightfoot, 99% of the other 75% must be bigots according to her math.
Or maybe it’s the 3,561 “shooting incidents” in Chicago last year which makes the Iraqis in Edgewater nostalgic for their homeland. There’s the 6-year-olds being shot and 5 people being robbed in one hour. And a general sense that the city is even more broken than usual.
Beneath the bluster, Mayor Lightfoot is feeling desperate. Her $16 billion boondoggle budget refrained from the traditional property tax hike: passing the buck in the hopes of managing public anger. Like a whirligig, Lightfoot twirls through contradictory claims, from blaming State’s Attorney Kim Foxx for crime to embracing her, from attacking the police to promising to invest in more police helicopters, from claiming to fight corruption to giving herself a 5% pay hike.
In a fundamentally divided city, Chicagoans are united in being sick and tired of Lightfoot.
It wasn’t all that long ago that Mayor Lightfoot announced her racist policy of refusing to let white reporters interview her. These days fewer reporters of any color would even bother and even fewer readers and viewers would pay any attention to the latest excuses and lies.
With Lori, everything is always someone else’s fault. After a weekend in which over 100 people were shot, she complained that “we are seeing historic levels of violence” and “yet we see people in Congress sitting on their hands and not doing anything.”
After Officer Ella French was shot and killed, police officers at the hospital turned their backs to her. Her father yelled at the mayor who has tried to blame a Columbus statue for the murder of police officers.
“Get that f—— statue back before noon tomorrow or I am going to have you fired,” Lightfoot allegedly yelled at a government lawyer who had tried to negotiate a deal with Italian-American groups to restore the statue..
“You make some kind of secret agreement with Italians. … You are out there stroking your d—- over the Columbus statue, I am trying to keep Chicago police officers from being shot and you are trying to get them shot,” Lightfoot ranted. “My d— is bigger than yours and the Italians, I have the biggest d— in Chicago.”
Lightfoot then convened a Chicago Monuments Project Advisory Committee which called for “artistic interventions” targeting statues of Lincoln, Franklin, Grant and Washington.
But those statues are likely to outlive the city’s racist mayor.
A whole lot more Chicagoans like Washington and Lincoln than Lori Lightfoot. And the 2023 election is likely to do to her political career what her racist mobs did to the city’s statues.
The statue of Columbus that stood proudly in Grant Park until it was assailed by Black Lives Matter racist mobs and removed by the racist mayor is still absent. But it would not be hard to imagine a Columbus comeback after she has been sent packing.
As part of her $16 billion equity budget, Lightfoot wanted to build a whole lot of affordable ‘tiny homes’ of 500 square feet each.
Next year, she can go live in one.

Amazon Pressed To Pull Anti-Semitic Film in Wake of Kyrie Irving Scandal
Amazon is under pressure to stop selling an anti-Semitic film that has become a certified best seller on the retail website since basketball star Kyrie Irving promoted it on social media.
Sales of the film Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America skyrocketed on Amazon after Irving promoted it. The film labels the Holocaust one of "five major falsehoods" and promotes the view that white people of the Jewish faith are "not the real Jews."
Amazon’s decision to cash in on the film’s popularity is fueling calls from an anti-Semitism watchdog for the retail giant to pull the documentary, according to a letter sent on Sunday to Amazon and obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
"It is imperative we learn the lessons from history and accordingly urge you to immediately remove Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America from your platform," the International Legal Forum (ILF), a pro-Israel advocacy group composed of international lawyers, wrote to Amazon executive chair Jeff Bezos and company CEO Andy Jessy. "With antisemitism exploding to record levels across [the] United States, including violence against Jews, there can be zero tolerance for the promulgation of such hatred, incitement, and antisemitism."
The film’s newfound popularity, the group warns, could contribute to a rising tide of anti-Semitic violence across America. The film "is no different to the notorious antisemitic conspiracy manual The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, just adapted for modern consumption and made even more toxic by virtue of social media glorification," the ILF wrote. The ILF is sending out similar letters to the film's other major distributors, including Apple, Spotify, Walmart, and Barnes & Noble. The organization says it wants to make sure the movie "does not see the light of day."
Irving, a member of the Brooklyn Nets, sparked a scandal last week with his promotion of the movie and prompted the Nets to suspend him after he refused to apologize for mainstreaming anti-Semitism.
The Irving scandal also dealt a blow to one of the United States’ most venerable Jewish community organizations, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). The organization said it had helped educate Irving on the harm his rhetoric caused but was forced to walk that back after the ball player doubled down on his promotion of the film and its anti-Semitic content. The ADL also was forced to reject a $1 million donation from Irving and the Nets that was supposed to help the group combat hate.
The film not only denies the Holocaust but also claims Jewish people falsified the historical record about it in order to "conceal their nature and protect their status and power." It also claims that white people cannot be authentic Jews, a belief that inspired the deadly 2019 shooting at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey.
The film also "gives voice to and amplifies a host of other common and long-standing antisemitic tropes and conspiracy theories about Jewish power, greed, and control," according to the ILF.
While free speech remains a cornerstone of American public life, "words also have consequences and inspire real life action, violence, and acts of racial hatred," the group wrote, adding that it "calls for the immediate removal of this film and book from distribution."
Irving’s "social media glorification" of the work is turning it into a modern-day Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notoriously anti-Semitic tome revered by Jew-haters globally.
There is precedent for Amazon removing such content. Earlier this year, the company pulled dozens of Nazi propaganda films and other anti-Semitic movies from its streaming platform. Prior to that, Amazon was "the world's largest purveyor of original Nazi propaganda films," according to a watchdog group that provided the Free Beacon with information about the films in January.
"It is extremely disappointing that Amazon is yet to issue any official response. For a company that prides itself on being a responsible corporate citizen, committed to prohibiting hateful conduct on its platform, they are seemingly instead content to profiteer from Holocaust distortion and Jew hatred," ILF CEO Arsen Ostrovsky told the Free Beacon.
Amazon did not respond to a request for comment.

Fiasco: Anti-Defamation League in Hot Water After Botched Attempt To Partner With Anti-Semite Kyrie Irving
NBA star Kyrie Irving left the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) with egg on its face after the group pledged to partner with Irving and his team, the Brooklyn Nets, to steer a $1 million donation to Jewish organizations following Irving promotion of an anti-Semitic documentary. Then, on Thursday, Irving said that — actually — he had nothing to apologize for.
Now, the ADL is backtracking, with CEO Jonathan Greenblatt pledging not to take any money from Irving but saying he is nonetheless willing to "engage in a process of healing and learning" with the unapologetic anti-Semite.
"Although we will not accept any funds from him, if Kyrie is open to direct dialogue to repair the harm that he has caused and to engage in a process of healing and learning in a sincere manner, [ADL] is open to engaging with him," Greenblatt said. "Time and action will tell."
Irving ignited a media firestorm last week by promoting a book and movie that denies the Holocaust occurred and portrays Jewish people as a nefarious bogeyman. Irving issued a statement admitting responsibility for the "negative impact" of his post but ultimately doubled down this week, saying during a Thursday press conference, "I cannot be anti-Semitic."
The brouhaha over Irving’s anti-Semitic beliefs is a blow to one of America’s oldest and most respected Jewish institutions. The ADL, under the leadership of former Obama administration official Greenblatt, has been plagued by accusations it provides cover to Democrats while only exerting pressure on conservative voices it sees as promoting anti-Semitic views. In recent years, the ADL has charged a litany of conservative groups with promoting anti-Semitism while ignoring similar instances on the left, prompting some in the Jewish community to call it an "echo chamber of left-wing Democratic politics." The ADL also has made overtures to the anti-Semitic Black Lives Matter movement despite its support for the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement, as well as the far-left anti-Israel group J Street.
"This is another unfortunate misstep for an ADL that seems to have placed partisanship and even fundraising ahead of fighting antisemitism," Rabbi Yaakov Menken, managing director of the Coalition for Jewish Values, America’s largest rabbinic public policy group, told the Washington Free Beacon. "After curating a false narrative tying anti-Semitism to white supremacy above all else, it rushed to take a donation from Irving instead of the real consequences that, as ESPN sportscasters have pointed out, the NBA would immediately have levied against someone endorsing bigotry against any other minority group. The ADL bought into a double standard because Irving doesn't fit the narrative they painted. One can only hope they learn from this embarrassment."
The Nets suspended Irving indefinitely as a result of his refusal to apologize for spreading Jew hatred.
The star player first courted criticism when he promoted a movie called Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America, which promotes a slew of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and tropes. The Brooklyn Nets condemned Irving’s social media posts and, in a joint statement with the ADL, Irving said he opposes "all forms of hatred and oppression and stand[s] strong with communities that are marginalized and impacted every day."
The statement was issued with a pledge by the Nets and Irving to each donate $500,000 to organizations like the ADL that combat hate and anti-Semitism.
"In light of the events from the past week, we commend the Brooklyn Nets and Kyrie Irving for listening to the concerns of everyone who spoke out against anti-Semitism and taking it as an opportunity to learn and do better," the ADL tweeted on Wednesday.
That good will, however, crumbled by Thursday, when Irving stood his ground during a bizarre press conference in which he "refused to say he was sorry, refused to say he didn’t hold anti-Semitic beliefs, refused to say the Holocaust happened and cast himself as the victim in the entire saga," according to the New York Post.
Irving, during that press conference, claimed, "I cannot be anti-Semitic if I know where I come from."
The episode forced Greenblatt’s ADL to make an about-face on the issue. The ADL leader said on Friday that his organization will no longer accept any funds from Irving or the Nets but that it is open to further engagement.
"Although we will not accept any funds from him, if Kyrie is open to direct dialogue to repair the harm that he has caused and to engage in a process of healing and learning in a sincere manner, ADL is open to engaging with him. Time and action will tell," Greenblatt tweeted.
Greenblatt also said he supports the NBA team’s decision to indefinitely suspend Irving, writing in a tweet that the player "has been given ample opportunity to do the right thing, apologize and condemn antisemitism. He has failed at almost every step along the way. This suspension is well-deserved."
An ADL spokesman directed the Free Beacon to Greenblatt's tweets when questioned about the episode.
Charles Jacobs, president of the Jewish Leadership Project, an advocacy group, told the Free Beacon that the episode should serve as a wake-up call to the ADL.
"The ADL, the Jewish community’s most powerful defense agency, has been downplaying or ignoring Jew-hatred from politically incorrect sources—leftist anti-Zionists, Islamist preachers, and black supremacists—for decades, yet they’ll accuse right-wingers of anti-Semitism even when, sometimes, there isn’t any," Jacobs said. "They have abandoned their mission and become little more than another left-wing political organization, therefore losing credibility within the Jewish community that is suffering from the surge in Jew-hatred that built under their watch."
Irving explicitly apologized Thursday night after the suspension was handed down, saying he was "deeply sorry" for promoting false anti-Semitic narratives. The Nets, however, said the late apology is not sufficient to end the suspension, and Irving will not play until he takes concrete steps to address his anti-Semitic views.
"Such failure to disavow antisemitism when given a clear opportunity to do so is deeply disturbing, is against the values of our organization, and constitutes conduct detrimental to the team," the Nets said in a statement issued on Thursday. "Accordingly, we are of the view that [Irving] is currently unfit to be associated with the Brooklyn Nets. We have decided that Kyrie will serve a suspension without pay until he satisfies a series of objective remedial measures that address the harmful impact of his conduct."
MSNBC Invites Prominent Anti-Semite To Discuss Why Anti-Semites Should Be Canceled
Host Joe Scarborough sponsored congressional resolution condemning Al Sharpton's 'racist and anti-Semitic views'
What happened? MSNBC's Morning Joe invited Al Sharpton to discuss his thoughts on Adidas cutting ties with Kanye West in response to the rapper's blatantly anti-Semitic comments. "‘Do you have a moral compass?' every company ought to ask," Sharpton said after slamming Kanye's "intentional" anti-Semitism.
Seriously? Yes.
Al Sharpton? The prominent anti-Semite? Yes. That's the one. The racist provocateur and tracksuit icon who inflamed the Crown Heights riots of August 1991, one of the worst outbursts of anti-Semitic violence in modern American history.
Sharpton delivered a eulogy for Gavin Cato, the seven-year-old whose accidental death intimated the violence that followed, during which he ranted against Jews. "Talk about how Oppenheimer in South Africa sends diamonds straight to Tel Aviv and deals with the diamond merchants right here in Crown Heights. The issue is not anti-Semitism; the issue is apartheid," he said. One funeral attendee held a sign that read, "Hitler didn't finish the job."
Weeks earlier, Sharpton had publicly defended Leonard Jeffries Jr., a professor of black studies at City College of New York who accused Jews of financing the slave trade and creating "a system of destruction for black people." Sharpton held a rally and blasted the professor's critics. "If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house," he fumed.
What the hell? Indeed. Speaking of which, that's how Sharpton described the Jewish state of Israel during a brief visit while attempting to make a citizen's arrest. Like being "in hell."
Sounds like Al Sharpton's anti-Semitism was "intentional," right? It definitely was. During his interview on Morning Joe to discuss the Kanye West situation, however, Sharpton alluded to his past anti-Semitism by suggesting he had accidentally said some "things that are harmful and could be interpreted wrong." He didn't really "mean it," unlike Kanye.
And the people at MSNBC really buy that? They don't care. It's been more than four years since MSNBC host Joy Reid claimed a hacker planted homophobic, Islamophobic, and anti-Semitic comments on her old blog. She hired a cybersecurity expert and notified the FBI, but we're still awaiting the results of that so-called investigation. Reid was promoted in 2020.
Has Sharpton ever apologized? Not really. In a 2020 article commemorating the Crown Heights riots, Tablet magazine editor at large Liel Leibovitz wrote: "As the years went by, Sharpton was given ample opportunity to apologize for his prominent role in this modern day anti-Semitic bloodletting. He never did."
When MSNBC host Joe Scarborough was a congressman, did he ever sponsor a resolution condemning Sharpton for his "racist and anti-Semitic views"? He did! In March 2000, then-Rep. Scarborough (R., Fla.) introduced a concurrent resolution blasting Sharpton's "vicious verbal anti-Semitic attacks directed at members of the Jewish faith," as well as his "fierce demagoguery [that] incited violence, riots, and murder in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York."
