And both candidates are Black

Much of Chicago’s African-American political establishment united around mayoral candidate Toni Preckwinkle at a raucous South Side campaign rally Saturday that aimed to convince the city’s black voters that her opponent, Lori Lightfoot, wouldn’t look out for their best interests.

The high-energy event before several hundred people at the Harold Washington Cultural Center in Bronzeville brushed aside the historic nature of the April 2 runoff between two African-American women and instead sought to cast Lightfoot, a former federal prosecutor, as an outsider who isn’t experienced enough to run Chicago.

U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush accused Lightfoot of being pro-police and suggested more black people would be killed at the hands of cops if she’s elected and suggested more black people would be killed at the hands of cops if she’s elected.

In the world of America's left, the police are to be hated and not to be supported.

Nothing will result in more Blacks being shot by police than teaching their young ones to hate the police.

You just say, "yes, sir. no, sir." no matter what race you are. You take their badge number and protest later.

Translation:

If she gets elected, the old guard that relies on political influence, payoffs, and corruption will be in trouble because she won't play their game. Those folks are afraid that if Lightfoot gets elected, she could be the same type of "outsider" that Trump is and try and drain the city's swamp.
