Tucker: Equity is racism

>> Tucker: GOOD EVENING. WELCOME TO "TUCKER CARLSON TONIGHT." FOR MONTHS NOW PRIVATELY, WE'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR A MEANINGFUL DEFINITION OF THE WORD "EQUITY." WE'VE TALK TO LINGUISTS, SCOURED THE FOURTH CORNERS OF GOD'S OWN INTERNET TO SEE WHAT EQUITY IS. WE'VE DONE THIS NOT FOR PLEASURE. WE HAVE HOBBIES BUT BECAUSE WE FEEL IT'S OUR DUTY AS A NEWS PROGRAM. EQUITY IS THE ORGANIZING PRINCIPLE OF THE UNITED STATES. ON THE DAY HE WAS INAUGURATED, JOE BIDEN SIGNED EXECUTIVE ORDER 1395 THAT MAKES EQUITY MANDATED ACROSS THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. STRANGELY NEITHER JOE BIDEN OR ANYBODY ELSE IN THE ADMINISTRATION HAS EVER DEFINED THE WORD. SO WHAT IS EQUITY? TONIGHT FINALLY WE KNOW WHAT IT IS. EQUITY TURNS OUT IS RACISM. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT. EQUITY IS RACISM. TO BE CLEAR, WE DON'T MEAN RACISM IN THE SINCE THAT ICE CREAM AND SHAKESPEARE AND MATH ARE SUPPOSEDLY RACIST OR THAT DR. SUESS IS NOW CONSIDERED A CYCLOPS IN THE KU KLUX KLAN, WE'RE NOT TALKING AND THE ILHAN OMAR DEFINITION OF RACISM. NO. WE MEAN RACISM IN THE LITERAL SENSE, IN THE WAY THAT MARTIN LUTHER KING DEFINED THE TERM, WHICH IS THE ACT OF HURTING SOME PEOPLE AND HELPING OTHERS ON THEIR RACE. BIGOTRY, PREJUDICE, HATRED. THAT'S WHAT EQUITY IS. WE KNOW THIS THANKS TO LORI LIGHTFOOT, MAYOR OF CHICAGO. SHE SAID EQUITY AND INCLUSION ARE THE NORTH STARS OF THIS ADMINISTRATION, LIGHTFOOT EXPLAINED. THEN SHE GOT SPECIFIC "ON THE OCCASION OF THE TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MY INAUGURATION OF THIS GREAT CITY,LY PROVIDE EXCLUSIVELY ONE-ON-ONE INTERVIEWS WITH JOURNALISTS OF COLOR. SO IN EQUITY, SHE'S REFUSING TO GRANT INTERVIEWS TO LIGHTFOOT TO WHITE PEOPLE. SHE SAID MANY PEOPLE ARE TALENTAND HARD WORKING BUT UNFORTUNATELY AS SHE SAID "WHITE NONETHELESS." SO THERE IT IS. PLAINLY AS ANYONE HAS EVER SAID IT OUT LOUD. WHITE PEOPLE ARE DISQUALIFIED BECAUSE THEY'RE WHITE. NOT BECAUSE OF ANYTHING THEY DONE OR SAID OR THINK. LORI LIGHTFOOT DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THAT. SHE'S NOT INTERESTED IN WHAT THESE WHITE PEOPLE MIGHT BE LIKE AS INDIVIDUALS OR PEOPLE. SHE DOESN'T CARE WHAT KIND OF WHITE THEY ARE. ANCESTORS COULD BE FROM ITALY OR FINLAND OR SPAIN. THEY COULD BE MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH ROYAL FAMILY. COULD BE PENNILESS IMMIGRANTS ON A BOX ON A SIDEWALK ON MICHIGAN AVENUE. RICH OR POOR, DOESN'T MATTER TO LORI LIGHTFOOT. ALL THAT MATTERS IS THEY'RE WHITE. ALL WHITE PEOPLE ARE THE SAME. THEY'RE DEFINED BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN. YOU CAN SEE HOW THIS MAKES LIFE EASIER FOR LORI LIGHTFOOT. SHE KNOW WHOSE TO HATE BY LOOKING AT THEM. IF SOME DAY THE CHICAGO POLICE ROUND UP THE ENTIRE POPULATION OF THE CITY, LORI LIGHTFOOT WOULD HAVE NO TROUBLE PULLING THE RIGHT ONES OUT OF LINE FOR PUNISHMENT. IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING, THAT WAS A NAZI REFERENCE. IT WAS DESERVED. LORI LIGHTFOOT IS A MONSTER. ANY SOCIETY THAT ALLOWS POLITICIANS TO TALK LIKE THIS HAS AN UGLY FUTURE AHEAD. VERY UGLY. OF COURSE, NOBODY SAID ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT SHE SAID IN HER MANIFESTO. EVEN CHICAGO REPORTERS, SOME OF WHOM CAN NO LONGER DO THEIR JOBS BECAUSE OF HOW THEY WERE BORN AROUND UP TEPID COMPLAINTS. LISTEN TO THIS PERSON FROM NBC. >> ANOTHER REPORTER CALLED AND SAID, I'M HEARING THEY'RE ONLY TALKING TO BLACK OR BROWN JOURNALISTS. WHAT? THIS DOESN'T SOUND REAL. SO I REACHED OUT TO THE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR. SHE TEXTED ME BACK AND SAID YEAH, THAT'S TRUE. SHE SAID NO, WHITE REPORTERS HAVE BEEN IN THE ROOM FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE YEAR. IT'S TIME TO HEAR FROM OTHER PEOPLE. >> Tucker: WHAT? IS THIS REAL? WHAT YOU HEARD IS CONFUSION AND NOT OUTRIDGE. LORI LIGHTFOOT IS A DANGEROUS BIGOT. LORI LIGHTFOOT IS HURTING OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE. THAT'S THE CRIME. IT'S THE ONE THING THAT NOBODY WANTS TO SAY OUT LOUD. HERE'S THE RESPONSE FROM A REPORTER AT THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE. "I'M A LATINO REPORTER WHOSE PRESENCE WAS REQUESTED TODAY. SHE SAID WE RESPECTFULLY CANCELLED." POLITICIANS DON'T GET TO CHOOSE WHO COVER THEM. TALK ABOUT MISSING POINT COMPLETELY. OF COURSE POLITICIANS CAN CHOOSE WHO THEY TALK TO. ALL OF US HAVE THAT RIGHT, THANK GOD. WHAT POLITICIANS CANNOT DO UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE IS ATTACK AN ENTIRE GROUP OF CITIZENS ON THE BASIS OF THEIR SKIN COLOR. THAT IS RACISM. IT IS IMMORAL, IT IS ILLEGAL UNDER COUNTLESS STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS. WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO ALLOW BEHAVIOR LIKE THAT FROM OUR GOVERNMENT. WE'RE ALL EQUAL IN THE EYES OF THE LAW. WE'RE ALL CITIZENS. WE'VE GOT AN ENTIRE GRANITE MONUMENT ON THE NATIONAL MALL IN WASHINGTON PROMISES THAT WE WON'T BEHAVE THAT WAY AGAIN. WE WILL NEVER ALLOW IT. BECAUSE WE'VE EMBRACED EQUITY, WE'RE NOT ALLOWING IT, WE'RE ENCOURAGING IT. MEANWHILE, HOW IS CHICAGO? THE CITY OF CHICAGO IS CRUMBLING UNDER LORI LIGHTFOOT. MURDERS JUMPED TO 50%. HUNDREDS MORE DEAD, MANY YOUNG PEOPLE, CHILDREN, MOST OF THEM BLACK. IS THAT SOCIAL JUSTICE? NO, IT'S NOT. IT'S NO ONE'S DEFINITION OF SOCIAL JUSTICE. LORI LIGHTFOOT DOESN'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT. THERE'S 50 MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL IN CHICAGO. THEY'RE CALLED ALDERMEN. ONE HAS PRESSED LORI LIGHTFOOT TO EXPLAIN WHAT SHE'S DOING TO THE CITY. RAYMOND LOPEZ IS A DEMOCRAT. HE REPRESENTS THE 15th WORD, WHICH IS OVERWHELMINGLY NONWHITE. RAYMOND LOPEZ CARES ABOUT HIS CONSTITUENTS SO IN JANUARY HE RAISED AN OBVIOUS POINT WITH THE MAYOR. MAYBE CRIME IS SHOOTING UP IN CHICAGO BECAUSE CHICAGO IS A SANCTUARY CITY, NOT ENFORCING FEDERAL LAW. HOW DID LORI LIGHTFOOT RESPOND TO THIS? SHE'S CALLED HIM A RACIST. >> BEING AN IMMIGRANT OR REFUGEE IS NOT A CRIME. ALDERMAN LOPEZ AND NAPOLITANO, SHANE ON YOU. SPIRITED DEBATE AT THE HEART OF OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT THE SAME AS USING RACIST TROPES AND XENOPHOBIC RHETORIC TO PROMOTE YOURSELF ON THE BACKS OF OTHERS AND DEMONIZE THEM.

This is what happens when you elect a ghoul as your mayor.

The real issue isn't black youth being gunned down at exponentially higher rates than non blacks, no. The real issue here, yet again, is wHiTe sUpReMaCy. We need more forced diversity. Never mind the fact that black youth tend to trend more toward careers in sports and entertainment. The political landscape in this country is a fucking joke.

Destroyed the city's economy by locking it down.

Had some of the worst covid numbers in the country anyway.

Skyrocketing crime and shootings thanks to her policies.

I guess the woke shit is the last card she has to play, because her tenure has been a disaster for Chicago by any metric.

She’s doing a terrible job and a Martian, none the less.

[u/Ilikechicken777]

Right, lets kill all white people and create a cult of black people. /s

[u/belil569]

Out right racist bullshit. Shocking...

Lori Lightfoot!

Lori Lightfoot!

Lori Lightfoot!

“It’s showtime...”

POOF!
