“When we think about racism, many of us think about it in visible and audible forms, but the reality is the insidious nature of systemic racism has other impacts that are every bit as deep and harmful, but often ones that we can’t see,"

How convenient for the incompetent race-baiter - it'll NEVER go away, never be fixed.

What's just as appalling as her racist idiocy, is all the people (voters) in Chicago, solemnly nodding in agreement as she speaks.

Wouldn't surprise me if this lunatic calls for all whites in Chicago to pay higher taxes than non-whites, across the board.

Meanwhile, silence on the actual deaths caused by B-on-B shootings.

A good start would be for uneducated, fatherless, black gangbangers to get lead injections rather than mollycoddled by the courts. Then the murder rate would drop dramatically.

I looked up Racism and it says it’s a Belief so the people that throw it around are ignorant

[stuck_in_new_orleans]

Don’t black people run chicago?

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yep Blacks killing blacks on a daily basis, obviously racism and stuff

[SaxxonWoods]

Do something about all those black racists then.

[rlmorel]

"...“My parents, like so many others of their generation and other generations were indoctrinated by racist Democrats to believe that they could never, ever be able to reach for and accomplish their dreams. This was and still is the case for far too many Black residents and residents of color in our city, and ladies and gentlemen, it is literally killing us here in Chicago,” she said..."

She and her allies are the ones who almost single handedly have indoctrinated blacks in this mindset, and have done all in their power to keep them there.

The poverty and violence in the black community is on their hands, and hands of the racist race baiters.

“is literally killing us.”

Well, she’s half right. Chicago does appear to have an out of control Negro problem. At all levels, Ms. Lightfoot.

[Dilbert San Diego]

As many as 70 active and inactive Chicago street gangs with 753 factions have been identified.[6][7] Some of the gangs that contribute most of the crime on the streets of Chicago:

Gangster Disciples
Vice Lords
Black P. Stones
Latin Kings
Black Disciples
Maniac Latin Disciples
Spanish Cobras
Almighty Saints
Spanish Gangster Disciples
Four Corner Hustlers

Former Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy blames Chicago’s gang culture for its high rates of homicide and other violent crime, stating “It’s very frustrating to know that it’s like 7% of the population causes 80% of the violent crime...The gangs here are traditional gangs that are generational, if you will. The grandfather was a gang member, the father’s a gang member, and the kid right now is going to be a gang member.”[3]

There are an estimated 100,000 gang members in Chicago.

The above is according to Wikipedia.

But, as we know, we aren’t allowed to talk about gang violence, because it would be racist. We aren’t allowed to talk about gang killings, because that would be racist. We are only allowed to talk about killings in the context of the weapon used to commit the crime.

It seems to me that this is where we get stuck in societal debates about this issue. We aren’t allowed to talk about the youth gangs. We aren’t allowed to say that the overwhelming majority are black youth. We aren’t allowed to say the overwhelming majority come from fatherless homes.

There is a lot we aren’t allowed to talk about. Liberals such as Lightfoot only talk about the fact that they use guns in their crimes, and then launch into the gun control debate.

> but often ones that we can’t see <

Mayor Lightfoot: There is a huge, ugly elephant in this room.
Citizen: I don’t see any elephant.
Mayor Lightfoot: Of course you can’t. It’s hidden. You cannot see it, hear it, or feel it. Nevertheless, there is a huge, ugly elephant in this room. And you are an evil person for even questioning it.

There is no way you can reason with somebody like that.

[jerod]

Black people killing black people... You gotta hate white people when that happens.

[escapefromboston]

Murder is literally killing the people in Chicago

[Vision]

Never cry wolf.

[butlerweave]

Lightfoot has mental issues and even her own people want her out but they are stuck with her

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

It appears the thought being put forward is that having to work to achieve is causing death due to racism. Racism in that context, as defined, is refusing to hand the goods over. However, just giving people what they want, houses, cars, various forms of wealth would diminish the death rate.

[Fungi]

She’s a sodomite so her morality and Weltanschauung is warped.

[Allegra]

These deranged leftists spew blatant stupidity and the media dutifully laps it up and reports it as if it makes sense when it so clearly does *not.*

[Fireone]

Only a racist sees every aspect of life from a racial point of view.
Normal humans don’t operate that way, only democrat racists.

[tflabo]

If so-called racism is the big bad wolf preying on Chicago’s black people then how come she and the chief of police are elected? Plus Barry was Senator from Chicago, Illinois and President too. Black people need to wise up and stop electing loser mentality politicians to represent them.
Chicago has a gang problem. Bust up the gangs to help reduce violence and keep the family unit together for accountability in their children.
