Racism is to blame for Puerto Ricos dire fiscal situation, Mayor de Blasio charged Saturday.
The backs of the United States government turned on them, while a health-care crisis grows, a humanitarian crisis grows, the Zika crisis grows, he said in a speech at the National Action Network in Harlem.

Another excuse to take money from those who earn it and give it to slackers.
Mayor de Blasio, former Dinkins acolyte, is well on the way to Dinkinizing the city again. He really is a demagogic race mongering pig.
If we confine the discussion to patronizing, white racist DemocRats and socialists, what he says makes a lot of sense.
Retires don't like needing bars on their windows.
Puerto Rico, my heart’s devotion. Let it sink back in the ocean.
The sooner the better as far as I am concerned.
That's my point. Can you imagine the revenue and jobs Puerto Rico would generate if they had totally secure beachfront retirement communities with all the amenities in a secure area? Those living on pensions of $25,000 or more would still be in US territory and get the benefits they have with their special status. That retirement money being spent in PR would be game-changing.
Puerto Rico needs to clean up the rampant crime on their island. Then, they might get more tourism, ex-pats, and businesses.
Deblasio sees racism in everything to appease his black wife-girlfriend.
To ignore PR’s real problems and give them the convenient excuse of “racism” is a travesty. They’ll continue to ignore the real problems - like Obama - and let the country go to hell, taking no blame for crappy, socialist leadership.
We need to tell them to get their $h/+ together before we send them another dime.
