Unity Destroyed by CTU Politics and Greed
There were verbal fights over at Operation PUSH yesterday between rival supporters for the mayoral race. Inside the building that stands for unity in the city.
The building that helped build black power in Chicago.
The building that helped put current CTU leadership in power. All that work over the past 14 years wasted for political power.
We used to have 80-100 people at Operation PUSH, all working together.fighting for the common good. People from all political backgrounds, coming together for mutual support.
Then came along Robin Potter and her son who took advantage of the people's good will and trust and made a bunch of money. That is where the problems started.
People making money off others' misery.
The same is true today, who is making money from the over 4.7 million CTU has spent recently on politics? Did that money go to black contractors? Black media companies? Black political advisors? Black youth who don't have jobs?
CTU is using conflict, disruption and chaos to build its brand as a fighter for future politics locally and nationally. A brand they will sell across the Nation and across the world. A brand that could care less about poor kids on city streets. A brand built to bring in money for more political spending.
CTU busted up the black vote this time, because they were against Lightfoot for revenge for the last election where they got wiped out, yet most of the black wards still voted for Lightfoot this time around, making one wonder what side CTU is really on.
Money and politics is making enemies out of friends; it destroyed the unity of the black community.
Who is spending all that money? Who is greedy for power?
Who ... the ctu that's who
The Community was unified behind Lightfoot that is how she won all 50 wards. Who demonized Lightfoot!? Who called her names and made Scooby Doo cartoons about her ?
Who ... the ctu that's who
Look at who started this trouble, who split the community, who will profit from millions and millions of dollars in political spending.
Who ... the ctu that's who
Not you.
