“We know what these folks really want to say when they say DEI mayor,” Scott told The Banner. “They really want to say the N-word.”

Mayor Brandon Scott has come to expect overt and not-so-overt racism.

The latest example came in the aftermath of Tuesday night’s Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. Within hours, Scott said he started to notice social media posts labeling him as a “DEI Mayor.”

Scott immediately bristled at the dog whistle.

“We know what these folks really want to say when they say DEI mayor,” he told The Banner. “Whether it is DEI or clown. They really want to say the N-word. But there is nothing they can do and say to me that is worse than the treatment of my ancestors. I am proud of who I am and where I come from.”

    OK, so you are saying that it is possible it can be one way or another. He can either be hired or not hired. This is a mayoral spot, so there is no possible way he was hired.

    Or are you saying it is possible he was hired either as a diversity hire or not as a diversity hire? Again, nobody was hired. It was an election. In no interpretation of “if” can you be correct.
