Hard to believe this is still 21st century America, when a group of privileged white supremacists can get away with something like this:
A Detroit-area community has banned LGBTQ+ flags from publicly owned flagpoles after a tense hourslong meeting that raised questions about discrimination, religion and the city's reputation for welcoming newcomers.
In protest, a woman speaking during the public comment portion of the Hamtramck City Council meeting kissed a woman standing next to her Tuesday night.
Yeah, two ladies kissing! That'll show those bigots! Take a stand, sisters! You...
...oh, wait, where did you say this was? Hamtramck? Hamtramck, Michigan?
So you mean the city council was composed entirely of, well:
Ah. Those are all, um, well, not white people.
Well, um, I mean, even if the city council is all-Muslim, that doesn't mean the town itself isn't controlled by nefarious white supremacist forces, right? Right??
In 2015, Hamtramck became the first city to have a Muslim-majority city council in the history of the United States, with four of the six council members being Muslim. In November 2021, Hamtramck elected a completely Muslim-American city council and a Muslim mayor, becoming the first municipality in the United States to be governed entirely by Muslim-Americans.
Oh. Right.
Well, I'm sure there's some white supremacy involved in this somewhere. I mean, there's gotta be. Maybe if we, like, look under some rocks or something. Or in an alley somewhere, or like a back room.
Anybody? Anywhere?
Well, let us know if you hear of any. We'll wait.
