NYC Councilwoman Freaks Out Over White Man Holding Black Child: ‘It Hurts People’
The Federalist ^ | 6 July 2020 | Paulina Enck

Posted on 07/07/2020 5:08:42 AM PDT by Magnatron

Members of New York City’s Community Education Council District 2 (CEC D2) behaved like the children they are meant to represent in last week’s meeting, when discussions of a joke from a past meeting devolved into screaming, personal attacks, and slanders.

During the council’s June meeting, the group was tackling school integration. Council member Thomas Wrocklage had brought his toddler daughter and a friend’s nephew. The nephew spent much of the meeting climbing on and off Wrocklage’s lap.

This innocent image of a man holding a child was the target of scorn by his fellow council members. Rachel Broshi told Wrocklage, “It hurts people when they see a white man bouncing a brown baby on their lap and they don’t know the context. That is harmful.”

Broshi, and several other council members, argued that the image of a white man holding a black child was inherently racist. When Wrocklage asked Broshi to explain why holding a friend’s nephew was racist merely due to their differing races, Broshi refused, yelling at Wrocklage, “Read a book. Read Ibram Kendi. Read ‘White Fragility.’ Read ‘How to Talk to White People.’”

Emotions are not reality.

What has been coming out for the past few years is what I’ve noticed over the past few decades. That a lot more black/brown people (i.e. racially obsessed hypocrites - you can date white girls right?) are far more senile and emotionally unstable than most might be aware of.

It really eats them alive. It’s pathetic really.

This is why China had and has re-education camps. You can’t fix stuff like this with a 15 minute HR video.

The hate-Whitey crowd hates him so much that they hate him for not caring about race and loving all people equally.
Today, if you say that race doesn’t matter, you are branded racist. If you say that race matters, you are labeled racist. If you breathe you are called racist. If you stop breathing you are designated racist.

They may have lost their minds, but they are about to win an election.

Rachel Broshi told Wrocklage, “It hurts people when they see a white man bouncing a brown baby on their lap and they don’t WANT TO know the context. That is harmful.”

What she meant to say.

Rachel Broshi is not black or brown, btw. Like so many of the recent freakouts, this involves a hysterical, leftist white woman.

My white niece holds a black child often — her son. Is that wrong? Should she not do that?

If you stop breathing you are designated racist, and died of Kung Flu. Send money.

Seeing a man caring for two wee ones makes my heart glad.

I don’t give a tinker’s dam about the skin colors.

Dumbest post of the day. And it’s not even 9 am EST.

Congrats!

Why are unstable women rewarded with positions of authority?

These people can’t stand or acknowledge the reality that many, many caucasians have mixed race children and grandchildren of all races.

My family is a huge loving bunch of all colors and many nationalities and has been since the 1960s.

You never ask a lunatic “why” when you know there’s no good reason for their scorn. That just gives them the floor to heap more abuse upon you.

He should’ve just said “That’s silly”. And if she persisted, he should’ve said much worse.
