"With Lori Lightfoot as mayor, women of color to hold 5 top city, county offices..."

...... Doesn't matter to me at all if a so called "Person of Color" holds an office ..... What matters to me most is that they seriously Defend and Uphold the Constitution of the United States .....

95% of them belong in asylums and institutions, for medical treatment (if possible), exactly like the ones the demonkkkRATs/GOPe had shut down over the past 50+ years.

This is the future of all cities the RATs run, and the exodus to Repub-run cities will take its toll.

No big deal, kind of like pushing an already drowned person further underwater.

If you pick Detroit or Washington DC, do not pass GO and do not collect $200.

Back President Trump’s effort to make certain the census form contains the citizenship question in it and no reference to race. But to the country of where the respondent is a citizen of if not an American citizen.
TIME TO END HYPHENATING AMERICANS

One thing the Mexican Constitution has that we should consider doing.Mexico has no hyphenated Mexicans. They prohibit any reference to race when they conduct a census or issue any means of identification, Where a photo id is not available physical description is needed skin color yes but not by race but by nationality..

By doing this Mexico has avoided “balkanizing”, creating fractional disputes in areas where a given group in one of its states is a majority or a minority. Plus it could play a significant part in shutting down the political playing off racial divisions between Americans by the Democrats.

She is going to do for Chicago what Mrs. O’Leary’s legendary cow did, but on a much more permanent basis.

At this point, hailing such “firsts” is actually a warning for the remaining normals; when freaks regularly win political office, you’ve passed the point of no return. Like gerrymandered congressional districts, these election wins show that the white peoples’ money and interests have moved on.

Aren’t we all of “color”?

You're ten years ahead of your time.

Will the election of Lightfoot do anything to reduce and sop the Black on Black killings within Chicago? I don’t think so..It will become worse.
