NYC mayor Eric Adams cries racism, claims white journalists misrepresent him
4 min read
On February 15, 2022, NYC Mayor Eric Adams ended up going on an unexpected rant. “My tale has been read by people who do not look resemble me”. The New York Mayor remarked during a media briefing, referring to the journalists. Many pundits have compared him to the notably thin-skinned Bill de Blasio as a result of his viral rant. Adams, who is really just the city’s second black mayor, faces a monumental task in regaining control of the region. Not only is New York dealing with a tremendous spike in crime. However, NYPD cops are fleeing in massive numbers in protest of the city’s vaccine mandate. And inaction after numerous cops were hurt or died in the line of service.
Right now, crime appears to be Adams’ main consideration. But based now seeing his reaction, he appears to be thinking about something else. Adams’ outburst was apparently prompted by media attention of his unsuccessful attempt. To persuade state legislators to support his anti-crime strategy. The Mayor visited with legislators in Albany. But it was of no use, as they failed to approve his plan. To utilize “dangerous nature” as an element in deciding bail.
Eric Adams Cries Racism
Eric Adams was supposed to talk to the media on summer employability plans on February 15. But instead opted to talk regarding something completely else. “Whether you want to admit this or not, I’ve done a pretty very excellent job,” he said.
Further adding, “I’m simply going to step in and make my speeches and bounce” if his covering doesn’t get better.
He then brought up the subject of race, saying. “I’m a black mayor, yet my narrative is being reinterpreted. By people who don’t resemble me.” How many African-Americans serve on editorial pages? How many black people have a say with how such texts are written?”
“How many Asians?” Adams added. How many East Asians are there? How many South Asians are there? “Everybody speaks about how diverse my administration is, but how diverse are the news organizations?” That didn’t end there, though. “Diversify your media companies so I can go around and see individuals who look like me”. He urged those in attendance.
“Do you people actually write the tales when I do anything and just publish out whatever you’ve written?” Adams continued. “I’m planning to quit doing off-topics since you already have your impression of me. And you’re going to have to live to what you believe you’re about to do. So why am I doing something like this?” he concluded.
Eric Adams Twitter & Media Backlash
“Crime management will indeed be Eric Adam’s sole focus during his mayoralty… “Talking about race isn’t going to assist him,” political operative Hank Sheinkopf told The Publication. “If that’s what makes him furious. Wait till it’s six times greater and slapped across the front of both tabs and then he’ll start understanding”.
Bill Neidhardt, a longtime ex-press secretary for Mayor de Blasio, remarked. It’s not possible to tell every narrative regarding your smoothies”. Adams seemed to be “moving further away out of Bill de Blasio’s playbook”. According to another individual, who added, “It didn’t seem to work for him”

Curtis Silwa, Adams’ electoral opponent, tweeted, “Whenever #EricAdams is confronted, he always brings up the racial game. The white media and review boards that crowned him now are openly racist. You made Frankenstein, and then it was up to us to cope with him!” “
He should have delayed a little longer to play the racial card,” one reporter remarked. “We’re not really even 7 weeks into Eric Adams’ NYC Mayor government. However, he’s already using the ‘race card,” one person said. Another individual slammed the brakes “Stop using the racial card, @NYCMayor. The race has nothing to do about reporting. This problem was caused by your predecessors (and already by you). Stop complaining and solve it.”

"You guys kill me. What part of Albany were you covering?.. If this is how it's going to be, then I’m just gonna come in and do my announcements and bounce." pic.twitter.com/9YJx6LsbWX
@NYCMayor FFS stop playing the race card. Reporting has nothing to do with race. Your predecessor (and now you) created this mess. Fix it and quit whining.
