The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
A rookie alderman said Friday he “neither regrets nor apologizes for” his use of the N-word to condemn the ouster of popular Blaine Elementary School principal Troy LaRaviere.The struggles of the one party Democrat town.
“In this context, the word ‘n—er’ was purposely used as an evocative metaphor that highlights the pejorative reality that black people, our community and our voice has been and continues to be perceived as less than and irrelevant at the table of power,” said Ald. David Moore (17th).
“Furthermore, that affirmation is perceived to be an implicit and, at times, explicit response from the racist status quo when black people audaciously challenge it.”
He added, “Neither I regret, nor apologize. Yes, I used the word n—er to highlight what myself and many people in this city of all races believe to be a dictatorial authority engineering Troy LaRaviere’s ouster.”
