Eric Adams Issues Apology for Video of Him Bragging About Being a Better Cop Than "Cracker" Co-Workers
On February 4, 2022, New York City Mayor Eric Adams apologized after an old video clip emerged where the mayor was caught saying he was a better cop than his “cracker” co-workers while he served as a police officer in the New York City Police Department.
“Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ ass,” Adams said in the video at a private Harlem Business Alliance event back in 2019.
“Man, I was unbelievable in the police department with 100 Blacks in Law Enforcement,” Adams said in the video alluding to the group he helped found.
“[I] became a sergeant, a lieutenant and a captain. You know the story, some people all of a sudden trying to reinvent me, but the reality is what I was then is who I am now.”
“I’m called again,” Adams also said in the clip talking about his highly-anticipated run for mayor. Adams jokingly stated that he would rather “grow a beard, smoke some weed and leave this stuff alone.”
“You hear me? These negroes that wake every day and don’t like themselves, they are going to beat me up. The people who say, ‘Where’s our real Black leaders?’ They’re going to say, ‘Who’s Eric? Why does Eric think he should be mayor?’ Well, negro, you run, you run. Go raise the $7 million dollars,” Adams added.
During a press conference on the afternoon of February 4, Adams apologized for his previous comments. The New York City Mayor claimed the question he responded to had used that slur.
“But clearly, it’s a comment that should not be used and I apologize not only to those who heard it but to New Yorkers because they should expect more from me and that was inappropriate,” Adams continued.
Although Adams campaigned on a strong law and order platform, there are many question marks about how he will govern as mayor.
In many respects, Adams is a pacifying figure the political establishment has put forth in order to slow the rate of radicalism engulfing American cities nationwide. Indeed, there are figures within the establishment who understand the necessity of not going too fast with radical measures.
However, there’s reason to believe that Adams could be a closeted radical due to his dubious connections with the Nation of Islam in the past, as Nicholas Stix highlighted at VDARE.
There’s also no reason to believe that Adams will work to slow down the excesses of the Civil Rights Revolution or roll back America’s leftward drift.
If anything, Adams is just the moderate face for a corrupt managerial regime that has seen its latest Great Leap Forward go too far, thereby requiring somewhat of a slowdown.
Even in thoroughly leftist cities like NYC, a major crime wave could provoke a citizen backlash. Which is why people like Adamas are being put forward as a way to quell any form of populist reaction.
That is alright because you are Black you can call us White folks anything you want, we won't be offended!
I apologize, but I still mean what I said! RACIST!
