“Since [Pritzker] took office, he has turned down seven requests from the ILBCC to meet or have him speak to our members. If he had sat down with us to discuss his agenda, he would have known our concerns. Gov. Pritzker is the first Illinois governor in our history not to meet with us,” wrote Illinois State Black Chamber of Commerce President Larry Ivory.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
Pritzker is the epitomy of White Privilege as defined by BLM , so
Why are they granting safe harbor to him and his?
Pritzker Trusts are inheritance-tax evasion mechanisms, and shouldn’t lax taxation of generational wealth preservation be at the heart of the debate about white privilege?

This is disgusting to not even listen to people. Wasn’t this the guy who was going to reach across the aisle and bring Illinois back from the dead after the “disastrous” reign of Rauner? Yeah. How is that going? Instead, Illinois is making progress on having more politicians go to prison. I hope everyone is waking up because it is very CLEAR that the governor and his Dem pals don’t care to listen to differing opinions. VOTE ALL OF HIS CRONIES OUT!
