Philadelphia newspaper editor resigns after saying ‘buildings matter too.’ The top editor of the Philadelphia Inquirer resigns after headlining an article, “Buildings Matter, Too.” The article lamented the damage to businesses during the rioting and looting after George Floyd was killed.

The snowflake staff was in an uproar.

Stan Wischnowski, 58, stepped down from the failing newspaper.

SNOWFLAKE REVOLT

The day after the headline ran Wischnowski and senior editors posted an apology on the paper’s website, calling it “offensive” and saying it never should have run.

“The headline accompanied a story on the future of Philadelphia’s buildings and civic infrastructure in the aftermath of this week’s protests,” the apology said. “The headline offensively riffed on the Black Lives Matter movement and suggested an equivalence between the loss of buildings and the lives of black Americans. That is unacceptable.”

About 30 members of the Inquirer’s 210-member editorial staff called in sick earlier this week, and black staff members angrily condemned the headline.

The Inquirer drew fresh scorn after the headline was replaced online with one that read, “Black Lives Matter. Do Buildings?” Eventually, the newspaper settled on “Damaging buildings disproportionately hurt the people protesters are trying to uplift.”

Why do these people “resign”. Doesn’t that ruin their right to sue the employer?

Maybe buildings DO matter, if a company packs up and moves. It’s beginning already.

Blacks are now the supreme master race and they shall worship them over everything in this country sounds similar to Hitler and his master race theory done with authority.
