A Mayor Who Thinks “Diversity” Means Flying the Enemy’s Flag
Philadelphia’s mayor, Cherelle Parker, apparently thinks the best way to celebrate “Diversity Day” is by raising the flag of the Chinese Communist Party over City Hall. You read that right. The same city that gave us the Declaration of Independence is now preparing to hoist the banner of oppression and tyranny—as if that’s some kind of cultural enrichment. Someone should remind her that “diversity” doesn’t mean bowing down to Beijing.
The Birthplace of Freedom Now Bending the Knee
This is Philadelphia—the birthplace of the American experiment. The city where the Founders told a king to shove it, where liberty was printed on John Dunlap’s press, where Betsy Ross stitched the first American flag. And now? Mayor Parker wants to swap Old Glory for the red rag of the CCP. That’s not diversity—that’s disgrace. It’s like putting up a “No Freedom Allowed” sign in front of Independence Hall.
John Mulliner Gets It, Mayor Parker Doesn’t
House Select Committee on China Chairman John Mulliner called out this absurdity, demanding the mayor cancel the event. He knows what every American with half a brain knows—the CCP flag doesn’t represent tolerance or inclusion. It represents concentration camps, censorship, and a one-party dictatorship that would throw Parker in jail for her loudmouth politics if she lived in China.
Spelling “Eagles” Is Hard, but CCP Is Easy
This is the same mayor who once went viral because she couldn’t spell “Eagles.” So, of course, spelling out C-C-P is no problem. Maybe she thinks it’s a football team? The “Chinese Communists” versus the “Founding Fathers”? Spoiler: if the Fathers were still around, they’d run her out of City Hall with pitchforks and muskets. Remember this:
An Insult to Chinese Americans Who Fled Oppression
What makes this even worse is that many Chinese Americans in Philadelphia came here to escape the CCP. They didn’t risk everything to watch the same brutal regime’s flag get honored in their new home. This stunt isn’t inclusion—it’s a slap in the face. Imagine fleeing tyranny only to see the same symbol of that tyranny raised over your city government. That’s not diversity, that’s cruelty.
The CCP’s Trojan Horse in America
Let’s not pretend this is harmless. The Pennsylvania United Chinese Coalition, backing this little flag party, is openly tied to CCP talking points—like “peaceful” unification with Taiwan. Translation: they want to spread Beijing’s influence right into the heart of America, using useful idiots like Mayor Parker as their willing stagehands.
If You Want to Celebrate, Try the American Flag
Philadelphia already has real ways to celebrate its Chinese community—the Lantern Festival is one of them, and it’s actually cultural. But raising the CCP flag? That’s not cultural exchange, that’s communist propaganda. If the mayor really wants to raise a flag, she could try the one Betsy Ross made a few blocks away. It’s got stars, stripes, and it doesn’t stand for genocide.
Philadelphia Deserves Better Than This
At a time when China is America’s greatest adversary, this stunt is beyond stupid—it’s dangerous. Flying the CCP flag over City Hall spits in the face of every veteran who fought against tyranny. It insults Philadelphia’s proud legacy of liberty. And it shows just how clueless Mayor Cherelle Parker really is. If she loves communism so much, maybe she should apply for a job in Beijing.
