|A macabre scene with racist undertones took place on Saturday when Swedish minister of culture Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth attended a tax funded party for the powerful Stockholm cultural elite. The self proclaimed “anti-racist” Liljeroth, who is currently in the process of removing press subsidy for the only nationalist newspaper in Sweden, declared the party officially started by slicing a piece of a cake depicting a stereotypical African woman. Photos from the party at World Art Day have already been released on Facebook and are now going viral in social media. The shocking photos show how several established left-wing members of the Stockholm cultural elite celebrate together with Cultural Minister Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth when she slices and eats a cake depicting a black African woman with minstrel- esque face. According to sources Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth was invited to declare festivities open by performing a “clitoridectomy” on the cake, which is visible in the above photo. The events that unfolded at the party stand in stark contrast to Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth’s official political positions. Publicly she advocates a strict hard-line approach against racism and when the nationalist newspaper Nationell Idag recently had enough subscribers to be granted tax funded press subsidy she immediately took action to change the country’s press subsidy laws. “It is distasteful to support extreme newspapers,” Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth said according to the government publication Riksdag & Departement, and she promised to ensure that newspapers with ”racist” content would not receive any press subsidy in the future. “Although this is a question of freedom of expression, we don’t want taxpayers’s money to support this form of media,” she further noted.| - DjBobbytrends.com
