Gov. J.B. Pritzker had a message of empowerment for more than 1,000 people rallying in the south suburbs seeking police accountability and criminal justice reform.

Foxx gave a passionate speech about growing up in public housing and the systemic barriers African Americans often face.

“I talked about the fact that I come from the projects because the people who come through our system, I have more in common with them than I do with many of the lawyers that work with me,” Foxx said. “And not because we aren’t as brilliant, not because we aren’t as bright, not because we don’t have the opportunity to change our world, but because our system has oppressed us for so long.”

“This is a racist system that has oppressed communities since the beginning of 1619,” she added, referencing the date that is known to mark the start of slavery in the U.S. “

Pritzker, Stratton, Foxx join 1,000 demonstrators in Matteson in a “march for justice” promoting police and criminal justice reform.

Pritzker told the crowd Illinois is in a “unique moment” when it could help repair broken systems. He pointed to the number of black women on stage with him that are in positions of power that will help usher in that change, such as Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton, Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle and Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx.

Of course, Foxx, who is currently under investigation for her mishandling of the Jussie Smollett indictment, goes all in on the false 1619 Project.

“...about growing up in public housing and the systemic barriers African Americans often face....”

Try a large dose of EDUCATION, HARD WORK, AND OBEYING THE LAW. Amazing how well that works for this affliction....

Nobody on earth gave consent to their birth. They had no choice in the matter. They didn’t get to choose their parents or where or in what conditions they lived and came up.

Foxx is a perfect example of someone who took all the opportunities available and ran with them, rising from “the projects” to become the State’s Attorney... and who knows where she’ll go from there.

Of course there are many problems. We all have problems. But she sounds like a half glass empty kinda person. She could use her story for inspiration instead of agitation. And words are empty. As State’s Attorney she could do a lot.

Foxx is sponsored by George Soros and she does her master’s bidding by failing to prosecute criminals and letting the jails be emptied out. She is also working to eliminate cash bonds which will let criminals remain at large pending trial.

A lily white rural town in CT called Somers had a ‘protest rally’ yesterday. Kind of pitiful to see a bunch of white-guilt idiots parading along the road disrupting traffic.

Of course there is no talk about the Pritzker protege-— the Chi-town slumlord millionaire who is Iranian/black... and the former king obongo’s Left hand “womyn”. Valerie Jarrett, Val Jar. Queen slumlord of some of the most disgusting buildings in chicago— drug shooting galleries. The Pritzker’s helped her and she helped Moochelle help the Pritzker’s private hospital owning pals by shifting poor medicaid patients away to public hospitals (miles away) so the private hospitals could make huge dollars and reduce losses.

Moochelle obamaumao did that as a lawyer, thanks to ValJar’s connections in chi-town. And still the chewbacca is unhappy and hates America (and of course her/his-self).
