Baltimore mayor says critics ‘don’t have the courage to say the N-word’
The Hill ^ | 03/28/2024 | CHEYANNE M. DANIELS

Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott (D) has accused his critics of racism after many labeled him the “DEI mayor” following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge earlier this week.

The collapse occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning after a cargo ship lost power and collided into the bridge. Six people were presumed dead after the bridge fell.

Soon after the collapse, social media users — including Utah state Rep. Phil Lyman (R) and Florida congressional candidate Anthony Sabatini (R) — attributed the tragedy to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Scott on Wednesday told MSNBC’s Joy Reid that these attacks on his identity are rooted in racism.

“I know, and we know, and you know very well that Black men, and young Black men in particular, have been the bogeyman for those who are racist and think that only straight, wealthy White men should have a say in anything,” the Baltimore mayor said.

Being labeled DEI is starting to sting. Good.

I doubt the critics were referring to the DEI mayor, or even thinking of him.

They were probably referring to possible DEI people running the ship and the port authority.

“...they don’t have the courage to say the N-word...”

Or they are being civil.

“Republicans around the nation have taken a stance against DEI, arguing it is a divisive concept that unfairly gives advantages to minorities. “

The problem is that it gives advantages to incompetents. Minorities are welcome to any job they are competent for.

Perhaps it is because some of us Lily Whites were never raised to say that word. But there are others that can also chap your backsides if we used them.

Had a Black roommate in the military. His stance was that “there are black folks, and niggers... Black folks are ok, but watch your back around niggers....”

Guess which one this little pr*ck is...

For me, this has a lot less to do with anything regarding breeding or melanin... and everything to do with CULTURE. Right now, Socialist Culture is using the Thug Life types to keep crime at a level where the rest of us just keep giving in to government expansion. This guy is a “thug” that is moving up to the “Socialists” because they want him as a figurehead.

Still friends on FB with my former roommate. Keeping in touch with my .mil friends and extended family is about all I use it for these days...

I don't care about that racist douchecanoe mayor of Baltimore. I just assumed outright he is a DEI, Affirmative Action hire due to his track record of performance.

I posted this yesterday about The Commissioner of The Port, who I am more concerned about:


You would think in all of that, a Port Commissioner might have some professional involvement in the International Longshoreman's Association, experience piloting or navigating cargo vessels, the processes involved in loading or unloading cargo, shipping processes and procedures, etc.

But no.

Her "credentials" include:
  • Founder and CEO of Professional Development Associates, LLC, a consulting firm that provides leadership and workforce training, coaching, and human resources consulting services. The firm conducts diversity, equity, and inclusion audits and consulting, which highlights Ms. Barber's commitment to promoting diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

  • Graduate of Leadership Maryland and Coach University.

  • Baltimore City Historical Society

  • Baltimore Votes

  • Maryland Democratic Party

  • Morgan State University President's Committee for the MSU Choir.

  • Chair of the Board of Trustees of Maryland Automobile Insurance Another Affirmative Action Political DEI Hack. See. Incompetence.


Notice the PRIME credential she puts at the very top.

Very good for The Democrat party, the removal of various monuments and such in Baltimore, but not so good for running a port, or driving over roads or bridges that run through areas this talentless DEI/Affirmative Action hack is responsible for.

Who knew we would hear a breath of truth out of this racist hack? Of COURSE it is all rooted in racism, but not in the way he thinks it is.

DEI is racist, as is Affirmative Action. So, he is absolutely correct that attacks on him and his administration are rooted in racism.

“critics ‘don’t have the courage to say the N-word’”

Oh so they can be labeled racists for their trouble?

Everyone knows the only people allowed to use THAT word are
(c)rappers.

How about the "I-Word" for "Idiot"?

Baltimore isn't anything to brag about.

(Also, the Captain and crew of the container ship Dali that hit the bridge were reportedly Indian, not White men.)
