A Democratic Boston city councilor who wants to ‘dismantle America’s white backdrop’ has been seen cursing at her colleagues in a resurfaced outburst.

Tania Fernandes Anderson has been a controversial presence in city hall since she was elected in 2021 and pledged to ‘create a revolution’ for ‘equity.’

But now even her liberal colleagues have become concerned that she has created an ‘unhealthy’ environment, with one anonymous source telling Fox News Anderson often swears, yells and screams at public city hall meetings, deeming her colleagues racist.

Per Twitter she’s even worse.

BLM revolutionaries squandered their opportunity

Leonard, the hero of Christopher Nolan’s Memento, cannot form new memories. This poses something of a problem when you’re trying to find the guy who killed your wife. Her brutal murder is the last thing Leonard remembers, and he has been hunting for the perpetrator ever since. To survive in the present, he has a stack of Polaroids that he uses to identify friends and a carpeting of tattoos on his body, including the words JOHN G RAPED AND MURDERED MY WIFE draped across his collarbones. This is written backwards, so that he can read it every time he looks in the mirror. It is his purpose. It tells him who he is.

Everyone wanted to do something to join in and support the protest movement that emerged after the killing of George Floyd in May 2020. Everyone wanted to help. Everyone wanted to give. Maybe it was just posting a black square on Instagram to show solidarity, but often it was more. Friends started sending money and organising others to do the same. I started giving to a few new groups myself.

Organisations that already existed in places such as Minneapolis — where Floyd was killed — and the new organisations that sprang up to capture this energy were flooded with volunteers and, most importantly, cash. People marched and people gave. Corporate America did too. And they all kept giving.

On March 21, a 26-year-old black man named Dexter Reed was pulled over for a seatbelt violation by four plainclothes Chicago police officers. When Reed refused to comply with orders to roll down his window, the officers surrounded the vehicle and instructed Reed to unlock the doors; in response, Reed pulled out a gun and began shooting, hitting one officer in the forearm. The police returned fire, and Reed was killed. The entire interaction was captured on police body cameras, the footage from which was released to the public last week. The Chicago Office of Police Accountability, a law-enforcement civilian oversight board, confirmed after a review of the footage that Reed “fired first,” and that a handgun was recovered from the front passenger seat of his car.

All a casual consumer of news would know about the death of Dexter Reed is that Chicago police shot a black man. But that’s hardly a complete picture.

If one didn’t know better, one might think that certain journalists are intentionally stoking racial tensions, burying critical information in their coverage of certain officer-involved shootings.

And just in time for a presidential election.

The Washington Post published a story Wednesday about a 26-year-old black man in Chicago killed following a shootout with police last month. Readers have to scan eight paragraphs under the headline, “Police fire 96 shots in 41 seconds, killing Black man during traffic stop,” before learning bodycam footage indicates Dexter Reed fired first, wounding an officer.

“Dexter Reed’s mother remembers the last time she saw her son alive. ‘Mom, I’m going for a ride,’ he told her, before heading out in the car that he had purchased just three days earlier,” the Post’s story began. “Reed, 26, was killed that same day, when tactical-unit police officers fired 96 bullets at him within 41 seconds, according to Chicago’s Civilian Office of Police Accountability, or COPA, which investigates allegations of police misconduct and police shootings.”

The University of Alberta and other Canadian universities are awarding hundreds of substantial graduate and undergraduate scholarships for scientific research just now, but white and Asian students need not apply.

Whites and Asians are ineligible for these particular government grants in the health and humanities that pay out $6,000 for the school year. These students might well have attained the highest level of academic achievement, but the Trudeau Liberals have ruled that one class of scholarships are reserved only for students who identify as Black.

It’s “black history month.” So what? I’m not black; I don’t care. In fairness, I’ve never cared about any of these ethnocentric “celebrate diversity” kinds of garbage divisions Democrats try to cram down our throats, mostly because I celebrate accomplishments, not irrelevant characteristics over which no one has any control. I’m old school; I prefer to judge people based on who they are as people, not their melanin levels. It’s why I would’ve made a horrible Democrat at any time in their history.
