Cincinnati Councilwoman Calls Reaction to Notre Dame Fire a ‘Prime Example of Privilege’
Tennessee Star ^ | April 17, 2019 | Anthony Gockowski

Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral nearly burned to the ground Monday, but Cincinnati Councilwoman Tamaya Dennard called the reaction to the tragic event a “prime example of privilege.”

Dennard, who serves as president pro tem of the Cincinnati City Council, made the comments on Twitter early Tuesday morning.

“I’m saddened that the beautiful cathedral in France was damaged. But this is a prime example of privilege. White people don’t have to see me if they don’t choose to. Black people don’t have a choice. Please read Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison,” she said.

I live in the Cincinnati area. This woman is an idiot, as are the rest of city council who are all RAT-Commies, but 2. Everything is racist to her. BTW — I wonder if she knows there are blacks who are Roman Catholic.

"It’s possible to hold multiple truth. I’m also saddened that Black churches in Louisiana were burned down. I’m sure they held significance as well. They were barely acknowledged,” Dennard wrote on Twitter

Once you rely on the multiple truth logic, anything goes, even nonsense. If Dennard really thinks a small rural church in America, built in say 1965, has the same significance as the Notre Dame cathedral, then she is woefully ignorant of world culture and history. But apparently that is exactly what she thinks.

By her logic there would be no reason to run for political office, since her role as an elected official is of no more significance than that of some random, uninvolved person sitting at home watching TV. But she did run for office, so she doesn't even believe her own truth.

Her comment makes no sense on any level.

It sounds simpler than that in her case, and more moronic: she is offended that somebody is paying attention to something other than her.

They really hate their Creator and are envious to the point of idolatry.

Her comment was nonsensical as it contains two comments with no connection to one another.

You are correct on the face of it, but then there is this:
She is addressing her constituency; that group has been largely neglected/indoctrinated by the school system.

"I am saddened by..."
= pain
= white people
= privilege
= ..."this is a prime example of privilege."

“Let us cut to the chase Ms. Dennard. You are jealous white people built something beautiful while your ancestors lived in mud huts.”

And sadly they are still living in them today in many places! We have a newly purchased “second home” in Northern Nevada near one of the “Indian reservations.” The Indians are another example of a group that lives in $hit, and lives off of the White Man. Yeah, a few of them are hooked up with a gambling casino. but they keep what they make for themselves. Rundown shacks are their “emulation” of the mud hut.

Well, she’s not letting a crisis go to waste, even if it’s a non sequitur.

What a pathetic, racist loser nitwit. Typical LIB loser whose self-loathing knows no bounds. The sick and pathetic thing is that people vote for this cretin.
