Boston Mayor Martin Walsh announced this morning he is declaring racism a public health crisis and will transfer $3 million from the police overtime budget to help put his order in motion immediately.

Walsh said there is a “new urgency” to erase racism in the city and added Boston’s budget for the coming year will reallocate a total of $12 million to programs for youth and more. That will start with the $3 million for the declaration.

Another libtard mayor throwing $12 million in taxpayer money into the toilet. Those “youth programs” only benefit the people taking home a paycheck from them.

What about black racism against whites, which is ten times more common?

They should have solved that problem half a century ago. Do people realize many Bostonians HATE black people despite Bostonians claiming to be "progressive"?

Black people are unhealthy...

Gotcha.

This is Orwellian for power taking and money taking to give to blacks because they’re obviously too dumb and stupid to thrive (I like whites, Asians, Hispanics, Indians, etc)

This is tyranny and will not stand

I just read the other day that black baseball players hate to play in Boston.

That’s not news. Bill Russell felt underappreciated when he led the Celtics to all those championships in the 1960’s.

The all-white Bruins were still more popular than the Celtics in Boston at that time.

Hence the reason why Boston has a serious racial divide problem.

“$12 million to programs for youth..”


I know! Establish midnight basketball to divert urban youth from committing crimes at night.
