Councillor shared ‘blatantly racist’ Facebook post
A local councillor is facing backlash after sharing a ‘blatantly racist’ post on Facebook. The post, which has since been deleted, sparked outrage among members of the community and calls for the councillor to resign.
The councillor has since issued an apology, stating that they did not intend to cause harm or offend anyone with the post. However, many are not satisfied with the apology and are demanding further action be taken.
Local community leaders have condemned the councillor’s actions and are calling for a full investigation into the matter. They are also urging the councillor to undergo cultural sensitivity training to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.
As the story continues to unfold, it serves as a reminder of the importance of holding elected officials accountable for their words and actions, and the power of social media in amplifying issues of racism and discrimination.
