Left wing magazine that no one reads anymore, Newsweek is finally starting to realize the obvious. Democrats are siding with criminals over the victims as crime spirals out of control in Democrat lead blue cities. Gee, what took you idiots so long? This particular article focuses on Chicago, run by the corrupt and inept Lori Lightfoot in a state run by corrupt JB Pritzker.
Until Chicago quits voting for Democrats at an 85% rate, this will just continue.
There is an obvious truth that I increasingly feel the need to say out loud: We are all American citizens. We are all entitled to the same rights and protections, no matter where we live or what the color of our skin is. The reason I feel the need to say it is that on the South Side of Chicago where I live and minister, it’s not obvious.
And this is despite the fact that we are literally drowning in race these days. In the two years since George Floyd was murdered, we have had the Black Lives Matter movement, the Defund the Police movement, the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion movement, and the movement to remove ACT and SAT tests, stripping schools of honors classes and wasting valuable time on white privilege instead of educating our kids upward. The latest is the SAFE-T Act, which would abolish the cash bail system.
These movements have all been pushed by elites in the name of helping Blacks, but not one of these people has ever visited my neighborhood to ask what we think.
It’s almost like we have no say, like we are some sort of a social experiment, pawns without minds of our own.
