An unearthed video of newly-minted New York City Mayor Eric Adams shows him using a racial slur in a talk on policing.
The 2019 video shows Adams speaking to a crowd at the Harlem Business Alliance about his rise through the ranks of the New York Police Department (NYPD).
While speaking to the crowd, Adams uses a racial slur to refer to the White officers he outperformed as he grew his career as a police officer.
“Every day in the police department, I kicked those crackers’ a–, man,” Adams said in the video reviewed by Fox News Digital. “I was unbelievable in the police department.”
“I became a sergeant, a lieutenant, and a captain, you know the story,” Adams also said. “Some people oversell it trying to reinvent me, but the reality is: what I was then is who I am now.”
The mayor’s office did not respond to Fox News Digitals’ request for comment.
The video’s unearthing comes a month after Adams was sworn in as mayor of the Big Apple, replacing widely-panned former Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Adams took a hard stance against his party’s “demonizing” of law enforcement in July, pointing out that few of his fellow Democrats “have ever been part of law enforcement.”
Crime has spiked across America since Adams’ inauguration in January, and New York City has been anything but spared.
Two NYPD officers were killed in the line of duty last month amid the crime spike.
Your just a Racist AAP , It’s obvious, some like you, only got your job by Being Black, not by qualifications, Skin is the number “1” New QUALIFICATION in B-LIDEN AMERICA to Be handed A JOB , The SKIN-YOUR-IN – AMERICAN JOB SECURITY !! NO QUALIFICATIONS NEEDED ‽‽
Your right Lynn, everyone else is not qualified to wipe dirt off your shoes, but you’re not racist – biased or prejudice just because you somehow have personal knowledge that all minorities are inferior, regardless of rather they graduate from the finest school’s at the top of their class or are consistently number one in class or accelerated positions or programs, rather they accel in skilled professional positions of authority education political affiliation, science medicine or any skill that can be easily measured for value. They are just plain unqualified, and no minority deserves to have a job that would elevate them over the status of someone like you. We get it!!
PS. Adams using that term to identify those of another culture if true, would be equally as wrong. His frustrations, justified or unjustified, are not an excuse to denigrate any culture using blanketed insults.
