Oak Park leaders can fund them on their own dime then. As well as cover the costs of any discrimination lawsuits that might follow.

Lots of white guilt in that picture…and the biggest racists in the world…white liberals.

But their white guilt only goes so far, and it’s consistent across EVERY lefty organization.
The guilty whites never step down and give their jobs to someone who doesn’t look like them.

A tense national moment? These people really gulp down their own koolaid. Legends in their own minds.

Saw the video. It’d be The Onion or Babylon Bee worthy satire except it’s real. A cringeworthy political reelection stunt by a leftist mayor who friends in Oak Park say has a penchant for word salad virtue signaling and pandering to the far left.

If OP is so into diversity, why don’t they dismantle all their dead end streets on Austin Avenue to let the good people of the Austin neighborhood move inclusively into OP whenever they would like to?
Seems to me those dead end streets are OP’s border wall. Lefty OP mayor, tear down that wall!

You would like them if you lived in OP close to Austin.
Even better, in the past if you drove on Austin after midnight from Lake Street down to the Eisenhower, you would see OP police cars stationed on Austin like East German border guards.

Because it is far easier to virtue signal than to act on those convictions. And that is what the “leaders” of Oak Park are all about. Virtue signaling their Leftist bona fides.
