Councilwoman Helen Gym Says This Food Truck Is Racist (Racial McCarthyism)
Philly Mag ^ | 10/05/2016 | VICTOR FIORILLO

First-term Philadelphia City Councilwoman-at-Large Helen Gym has a lot to contend with. A broken school system. A ballooning pension crisis. Rampant poverty. And … a racist food truck?

Wheely Wheely Good is a popular University City food truck that serves hot pots, spring rolls, and rice balls to hungry Drexel students and faculty on 33rd Street. --SNIP-- On the day of the event at the Montessori school, Gym tweeted a photo of her daughter holding a sign that read “RACISM SUCKS! AND SO DOES THIS” with an arrow pointing at the truck. Li says that when the event was over, she realized that the sign had been stuck on the back of the truck.

She seems to be a newly elected politician who couldn’t wait to throw her weight around .. as in “I’ll make trouble for you”.

I’ve seen this countless times. Someone gets a little bit of authority and it goes to their head and they think they can run around intimidating people.

In particular, give a government employee authority over anything, a key to the office supply room even, and they will wield their power over others.

It really does pain me to say that the Birthplace of American Liberty has been destroyed by almost a century of utterly failed liberalism, unionism, affirmative action, election fraud, safe spaces and micro-aggressions. Philly is not even a shadow of it’s former self. It is a crime infested politically correct hell on earth!

The councilwoman referred to herself as a “person of color”. Seriously.

Other than very light skinned Asians, who more and more often want to be racially classed as “white” (like light skinned Hispanics), I suspect that most Asians are rather comfortable in their skin. When they face discrimination, it is often “counter discrimination” by liberals, for example requiring them to have *higher* test scores for the same rewards, or even excluding them from rewards because “the Asian quota is full”.

Liberals see people in groups, not as individual. They can’t help themselves out of this perception.

Conservatives look at their abilities and work, so frequently single out Asians by saying “you’re hired.”

Asians should turn up their noses at those who would belittle them by calling them “persons of color”.

Total flaming "liberal."

She has been at it for a long time as well.

Check out the profesional protest signs at one of the "projects" she was involved in.

Total commie and she snuggles right up to it.

“A broken school system. A ballooning pension crisis. Rampant poverty.”

The fact she has a lot of real challenges facing her is the very reason she chooses to divert attention, knowing that she is completely unfit for the job.

I remember a Tom Clancy novel where a Black CIA agent went to China. He may have well been from Mars. Most racist people on Earth.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.”

- C. S. Lewis

A Liberal will be offended on behalf of those who they presume should be offended. Even if the offender is the person who they are being offended on behalf of. Everybody got that?

There is alot of "perceived" racism also. You see these stories from time to time here. A black will come here and go to one of the markets. They come back complaining that everyone was calling him a ni**er. What they were actually saying was nah ge, which is mandarin for that one. They were simply asking him which one he wanted.

They actually changed that about 15 years ago. It is called Darlie toothpaste now. They also changed the image :
