Chicago Dark as a Piece of Coal Ald. David Moore, 17th, Drops the "NIGGER" BOMB - Ald. Moore uses racial slur to decry ouster of principal who ripped Emanuel - I gots to rile up mys peoples!

A first-term South Side Colored alderman used a racial slur as he waded into the debate over the ouster of a Lakeview school administrator who's been highly critical of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's handling of Chicago Public Schools.

"All I hear is, stay in your place NIGGER, and don't you dare challenge the DICTATORIAL AUTHORITY designed to put corporate profits over effective public education," African-American Ald. David Moore, 17th, wrote in a Thursday morning Facebook post that said he was "appalled" by the dismissal of Blaine Elementary Principal Troy LaRaviere. The message included the full epithet.

"Not one elected official, who cares about the education of our children, should remain silent about this DICTATORIAL move!" the alderman wrote in an entry that garnered several supportive responses.

LaRaviere frequently has joined Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis in slamming Emanuel, and the principal appeared in a TV ad backing Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders ahead of Illinois' March presidential primary election. In the commercial, LaRaviere proclaimed, "In Chicago, we have endured a corrupt political system, and the chief politician standing in the way of us getting good schools is our mayor."
