Your Racism Has No Home Here

On Tuesday outside the polls, Council President Anna Guy was referred to as a half N-word by an older white male Republican because she was smoking a menthol cigarette.

When Parkside Dems Chair Kyle Palmer was handed the keys to her home in 2018, an older white male Republican neighbor pulled up in his car and offered his relief that a white family was moving in.

We've heard from several Black Parkside residents who have been subjected to racist threats and insults. Some have been spit at.

The problem here isn't Anna Guy's "offensive" tweets. If you'd rather complain about tweets than focus your energy on making everyone feel welcome and safe in Parkside, then we don't want your vote anyway. This borough is a beautiful, diverse community. Your racism has no home here. Our neighbors do.
