Mayor Martin J. Walsh has launched an initiative this month targeting the city’s black and Latino boys and men, a population at risk for joblessness, poverty, and a host of health disparities, according to several studies.
Building on the lead of President Obama earlier this year, the mayor is introducing Boston’s version of “My Brother’s Keeper,’’ a network meant to bridge the gap between men of color and their potential achievements.
“There are a lot of young black and Latino men that we have here in our city that need this initiative,’’ Walsh said in an interview. “This can be helpful in changing their lives.”

Do you not understand that my initial statement was only demonstrating how ludicrous the assertions were, by agreeing with them. It’s called parody.
Interesting that you see the ludicrous in the parody but not it’s subject.

I’m sorry, but such a statement is just not ‘parody’, to me.
So you think micro aggression and white privilege are real and serious issues that shouldn’t be mocked. Got it. Now go away, you don’t belong on FR.

Well, the fact of the matter is this....your comment, the one which YOU excuse as ‘parody’, is NOT in line with what the good people of the world are trying to achieve. So, don’t get mad and resort to what you call ‘parody’...just don’t SAY mocking things. That’s all.

Look, why not just learn to accept constructive criticism, so that you can better understand my post in the first place? In your efforts to continue ‘defining yourself’, resorting to “name-calling” only helps to validate who the “real” idiot is.
Actually, the parody was 100% in line. You just don't understand it. Do you understand the purpose of writings such Swift's "A Modest Proposal", or did you think it was a monstrous call for cannibalism?

Well, I understand it perfectly fine, though don’t find “literature” purposeful, interesting reading, or even relevant to this dialog. In your efforts to continue this dialog though, I’ve become so bored. So, you may justify all the ‘satirical ridicule’ you can....do it while our country is still “free”.
