Maryland City Appoints ‘Racial Equity’ Leader Advocating for Violence and Black Liberation Through Revolution

In recent news, the City of College Park, Maryland, has hired a “racial equity” leader who has made controversial statements advocating for violence and promoting a revolution against the United States. Kayla Aliese Carter, the newly appointed “Racial Equity Officer,” has expressed her support for “Black liberation” through revolutionary means and has even stated that she is working with activists to plan for life after “burning it all down.”

Carter’s appointment comes after former Mayor Patrick L. Wojahn resigned from office following his arrest for child pornography. The city’s website states that Carter has assembled a team to implement a “racial equity” agenda across all city departments, aiming to address systemic racism in policies, practices, programs, and budgets. However, the city clarified that Carter does not oversee an entire team and primarily works with the City’s Restorative Justice Commission.

The hiring of Carter was a result of a resolution signed into law by former Mayor Wojahn, which renounced systemic racism and declared support for Black lives after the death of George Floyd in 2020. The law mandated a review of all current policies and programs for evidence of bias and disparate impact on Black people, a task currently being performed by Carter.

However, Carter’s controversial statements and beliefs have raised concerns about her suitability for the position. She believes that it is not enough to be not racist; one must actively be anti-racist and work to dismantle the system. Some of her social media posts defend violence and express anger towards oppression. She has even referred to colleagues using racial slurs.

Despite these controversies, Carter continues to hold her position as a “racial equity” leader in the city government. She receives a salary of $75,600, slightly above the state’s average salary. However, her social media posts indicate that she is not enthusiastic about her role and blames capitalism for forcing her to be part of the workforce. She expresses a desire to be a “collage artist” or a “lady of leisure” instead.

The hiring of Carter and her controversial statements have sparked outrage and concern among residents and community members. Critics argue that someone with such radical views and support for violence should not hold a position of influence in the government. It raises questions about the city’s vetting process and the values they prioritize in their hiring decisions.

Fox News Digital reached out to Carter for comment, but no response has been received at the time of writing. It remains to be seen how the city will respond to the public backlash and whether any action will be taken regarding Carter’s position.

The controversy surrounding Kayla Aliese Carter’s appointment as a “racial equity” leader in College Park, Maryland, highlights the challenges of addressing systemic racism while also ensuring that those tasked with leading such efforts uphold values of inclusivity, non-violence, and equality. The situation serves as a reminder of the importance of thorough vetting processes and the need for open dialogue when it comes to addressing racial equity in our communities.
