LOOK:
Let that sink in. An elected official is celebrating a savage, racially charged attack on innocent bystanders. If the political parties and races involved were reversed, this would be the lead story on every major news outlet. Instead, it’s being quietly swept under the rug—until now.
Cory Bowman, a mayoral candidate in Cincinnati, is one of the few local leaders willing to speak out. Bowman said he found Parks’ comments “deeply troubling” and added, “There is no room in public service for someone who applauds street violence, no matter the color of the victims or the attackers.”
So far, two suspects have been arrested in connection to the beatings. One of them, incredibly, was already out on bail for previous charges—raising more questions about the justice system’s revolving door for violent offenders.
Social media has erupted in outrage over Parks’ unapologetic endorsement of what many are calling a racially motivated attack. Americans from coast to coast are demanding answers—and accountability.
“If a white politician said something like this after a black man and woman were attacked, there would be mass protests and national media calling for their resignation within hours,” one X (formerly Twitter) user posted. “This is sick.”
Legal experts are even suggesting the Department of Justice may need to step in, as Parks’ comments could be interpreted as incitement or endorsement of racial violence—a potential civil rights violation.
Yet despite the backlash, Parks has not apologized. In fact, she has doubled down by remaining silent and refusing to comment publicly, which has only inflamed tensions further.
Residents of Cincinnati are now questioning whether their city leaders prioritize justice and public safety—or whether radical ideology has corrupted the very institutions meant to protect them.
The attack, caught on video, shows the horrifying moment the white woman is knocked out cold, her head slamming against the sidewalk. She lays motionless while her attacker walks away. No one in Parks’ camp has condemned the footage. No Democratic leaders in the city have criticized her. The silence is deafening.
The larger question remains: How did we get to a place where a city council member can gleefully endorse mob violence based on race and keep their position?
The incident isn’t just a Cincinnati issue. It’s a reflection of a larger rot seeping into American politics—where identity politics and radical narratives are used to justify hatred and violence.
The people of Cincinnati—and the country—deserve better. And it’s long past time that those who promote or excuse racial violence are held accountable, regardless of political affiliation.
