in World News No Racism Here: Senior Bill de Blasio Aide Poses Beside Sister’s ‘F–ck Whiteness’ Poster
“No doubt the message was inartful.”

A senior aide to New York City mayor Bill de Blasio has taken heavy fire from both the right and the left for posting on Facebook a photo froma pro-immigration rally next to his sister holding a sign with the words “f**** whiteness” brandished loud and proud.
Lincoln Restler, 32, posted the photo captioned with: “To celebrate my mama’s birthday we took to the streets to stand in solidarity with immigrant New Yorkers.”
Both his sister, Victoria, and his parents Susan and Peter were seen in the picture smiling next to a sign expressing obvious racism.
According to New York Daily News, a City Hall spokesman said the sign was meant to hate on white supremacy, not “whiteness.”
“No doubt the message was inartful and not clear enough in its intent and that’s why Lincoln took it off his page,” said the spokesman.
Inartful? It’s not like she expressed a clichéd message like “check your privilege.” She placed a vulgar curse word next to the word “whiteness.” Considering how often the left cries “microaggression!” over any little thing, this seems rather bluntly racist. Would she say “F–ck blackness” to protest the black supremacy in the New Black Panther Party?
The message here: Donald Trump gets accused of “textbook racism” for questioning whether a Mexican judge associated with pro-illegal immigrant groups will show impartiality presiding over a civil lawsuit because of his anti-illegal immigration stance, but a senior aide to Blasio posing next to message of “f–ck whiteness” gets written off as simply “inartful.”
De Blasio’s office has stated that it does not approve of the photo and a spokesman said the incident has been addressed, thought not disciplined. In other words, Restler will not be fired like a conservative would if the roles were reversed.
Get a clue, snowflakes. This kind of antic is exactly pat of the reason Trump just won the White House.
