Grandstanding Karens NOT Welcome
A Sydney Council will vote to remove anti-racism street signs after erecting them only a few years ago.
Fifty of the signs were erected in the Cumberland Shire back in 2022 amid fears that Chinese people might be blamed for the Covid virus.
Wait.
Did council members really think that people, so dumb as to blame their Chinese Sydney neighbour for a lab leak in Wuhan, would be convinced by a street sign?
Craig Foster was named Australian of the Year for his role in the campaign, so … there you go.
Anyway, now at least one Sydney council wants the signs gone.
But why?
Maybe the signs worked. Maybe a few signs affixed to telegraph poles solved the problem of racism once and for all and can now be removed.
If only we’d put up signs saying youthcrimeNOTwelcome or povertyNOTwelcome. Think of all the problems of the world that could have been solved by now if only local council’s had put up signs!
There’s another possibility. And that is that the racismNOTweclome signs are being removed because councillors have decided they don’t mind racism after all.
That was always going to be the trap with these signs, right?
If you agree to erect signs against racism, can you ever agree to their removal without being branded a racist?
Cumberland Labor councillor Suman Saha, who will vote to keep the signs said …
“Now that we have the signs in place, removing them will probably send the wrong message – people will think racism is OK or the problem has been solved.”
Yep. lefty council members are convinced that ratepayers are stupid.
Maybe they are. They keep electing lefty council members, after all.
I had to laugh at Inner West Council who, after putting up racismNOTwelcome signs in certain streets then had to reassure residents in those streets that there was no suggestion they were racist.
Lefties are annoying but they’re also funny as hell.
But back to Cumberland Shire Council. The actual reason conservatives on the council want to ditch the morality signs is because they understand the signs serve no practical purpose, beyond giving politically correct council members a chance to grandstand at ratepayers’ expense.
Councillor Saha pleaded …
“Let’s keep the signs to support diversity, inclusion and respect for everyone.’’
The signs don’t support diversity or respect. They infantize the population and beg the question, what dos and don’ts will councils be pushing on us next?
Get rid of them. Not because we approve of racism but because we disapprove of grandstanding Karens.
Perhaps "WokeNOTWelcome" might work instead?
And the Queens of all Karens are the Mayor and a few lefty councillors in the City of MItcham in SA. The Mayor pledged "to embed indigenous culture in council and community." .
Beyond wearing pretty indigenous coloured robes, and welcomes, and smoking ceremonies, and flicking some commissioned art to self-identifiers, and renaming stuff, and the libraries teaching kiddies songs in languages no-one speaks anymore.....who know what she means? But nothing real, only symbols.
This is a community where barely 400 out of 68,000 claim indigenous heritage. Where the average indigenous household income is higher than the average for the rest of the community. In other words, the only "gap" is in the Karens' heads.
