Protesters chant outside Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's home: 'It's not enough to be Black'

[The Purge]

More than 300 protesters crowded outside Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot's home Thursday, saying she has disappointed the city, according to local reports.

Demonstrators posted photos and videos of the protest on social media, using the hashtag #2Years2Much as the mayor marked two years in office.

Photos show protesters carrying signs that gave Lightfoot "F" marks in education, COVID-19 recovery, police reform, housing and so on, photos posted to social media show.

"It’s not enough to be Black, it’s not enough to be female, you gotta be right," Tara Stamps, a veteran Chicago Public Schools teacher, said, according to Fox 32 Chicago.

Forty community organizers sponsored the event, including the Chicago Teachers Union, Black Lives Matter Chicago, Illinois Raise Your Hand, GoodKids MadCity and others, according to a Facebook event page.

"For the past 2 years, Lightfoot's [a]dministration has continued to ignore the demands of its people," the event page reads. "This administration has failed on multiple issues — from environmental justice to education to policing to housing and COVID recovery. Join over 30 organizations in calling out Mayor Lightfoot on her [two-]year anniversary and demand that she fulfill her broken promises."

The Chicago Teachers Union said its members are "just grateful and honored to be standing alongside" protesters in a Thursday tweet.

Lightfoot's office did not immediately respond to an inquiry from Fox News. The mayor on Thursday boasted 150 accomplishments since she took office, according to Fox 32.

Lightfoot's head is twisted enough that she dressed her son to look like her
for Halloween despite his initial objections.

It's a photo finish for Groot and Wilhelm as the shittiest Mayors in all the nation....And that's a damn crowded field to start with.

Her position on media is textbook racism. Why do you allow filthy racists to remain in power?

This is good to see. So many think they only have to say the right thing, not actually do the right thing. Unfortunately for too long that has been true.

It's positive to see people saying that is not OK.

Larry Lootfoot has neither said nor done the right thing since she announced her candidacy for Mayor.....She's an ongoing train wreck.

Actually calling the media to hire more people of color is not racist. But I think that as mayor of a major city, she could have used a better and more effective tactic.

I think that trump supporters who never held him to account for anything don't really have any credibility on this issue.

It's not enough to be black and female?

I thought she was gay as well?

That should be enough, right?

I detest that duplicitous lizard-bitch. But in this case she is being attacked because she is making some practical decisions.... you simply cannot embrace the radical Bullshit without having it bite you in the ass.....
