Oak Park Trustee to White Colleague: 'You Shouldn't Have an Opinion... You Have Been White from Birth'
[PJ] In the most racist incident to happen in all of 2019, look to Oak Park, Ill., trustee Susan Buchanan, who was caught on tape berating her fellow board members for being white and male.

Arguing to adopt a new equity statement for the city of Oak Park, Buchanan lost her marbles and started telling the white men on the board they have no right to an opinion.

"I don't want to hear what you have to say!" she yelled. "Why do you have an opinion on equity? You have been white from birth...why are you arguing 'what is a system of oppression?' You've never experienced one. Just stop Dan. Stop Dino. You are not oppressed...You stop it. You are a white male."

Then she turned to a non-white male of Middle Eastern descent, Mayor Anan Abu-Taleb and said, "Your skin is white enough." Luckily for all of us, white woman Susan Buchanan is qualified, somehow, to decide whose skin color is light enough to make their opinions void.

#1 Now if this were fiction, they'd had an African-American cop arrest her for public disturbance, an Indian-American shrink classify her as crazy, and Hispanic-American nurses take care of her in the loony-bin.

#3 I guess Susan Buchanan can have an opinion since she is white Stockholm Syndrome victim or a commie tnuc. One or the other.

#4 Susan Bitchanan received threats later, which is understandable.

#7 The proper response is to stand up and scream, "I WAS BORN A POOR BLACK CHILD!"
