OAK PARK TRUSTEE SUSAN BUCHANAN: “YOU ARE A WHITE MALE! SHUT UP!”

Oak Park trustee Susan Buchanan told her male colleagues, “you are a white male….so shut up!” during a board meeting on racial equity.

Buchanan, who is white, even lectured a Palestinian migrant, Oak Park Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb, telling him, “Your skin is light enough. Stop it!”

The outburst prompted a round of applause from citizens who attended the meeting.

“You have been white from birth,” Buchanan told fellow trustees Dan Moroney and Deno Andrews. “Why are you arguing what is a system of oppression? You’ve never experienced one, so shut up! I don’t want to hear from you! Just stop Dan, just stop Deno. You are not oppressed and people in Oak Park and we are trying to recognize that as a community.”

If whites have no voice in the debate, "racial equality" would dictate that minorities have no voice either. The minorities are the biggest racists of all. As such, we should pay no attention to them or their demands. When "equality" is their real concern, then we should listen and find a solution.

Horrible, despicable, racist woman. She should be fired on the spot. If you don't fire her, you're approving of racism. Just admit it, you'll feel a a lot better.
