Louisville mayor signs executive order declaring racism a public health crisis

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Racism is being declared a public health crisis in Louisville.

Mayor Greg Fischer signed an executive order on Tuesday outlining a plan to advance racial equity for Black residents of the city.

This comes after months of protests. Fischer says, "The protests we've seen are about people's absence of those things in their lives and for generations past. We must always strive to understand the long standing and justifiable grievances behind the protest."

The executive order outlines seven key areas for city government to address the city's racial equity challenges: public safety; children and families; Black employment; Black wealth; housing and neighborhood investment; health; and voting.

Fischer said 2020 gives Louisville an opportunity to transform after a year of challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic downturn, an increase in gun violence and the protests over racial justice and the death of Breonna Taylor.

The mayor said the "tragic death" of Taylor made Louisville a focal point for the nation's painful "reckoning on racial justice." He said the goal in declaring the crisis is to address the issue and the causes of racism, acknowledge its impact and repair the community.

"For too many Louisvillians, racism is a fact of daily life, a fact that was created and documented in our country's laws and institutional policies like segregation, redlining, and urban renewal,"

All Democrat policies - when will Mayor Fisher be resigning?

Great. So the remedy is to “quarantine” different “races” away from each other?

If you don’t let a BLM gang kick your ass and your head in, it’s racist.

The new scam.

Seize control of everyone’s lives by declaring a “public health” crisis.

Kinda like the old Soviet gig of having dissidents declared to be Insane - because only a crazy person would criticize a perfect system!

Wrongthink will now get you slammed into the nuthouse. Got it, Caspers? If you don’t think Michelle is the bestest looking beast in the land, you beez kookoo and they’re coming to take you away, ha ha!

Outside the classroom, birds of a feather, generally stick together.

Anti-white racism is a major crisis.

“Affirmative action” against whites and Asians has gone on way too long....

So let me get this straight. Instead of actually working for a living, if you riot and loot enough, the government will simply give you what you want.
We are becoming like Europe.

Carson’s Bombastic Bushkin comes to mind. He was Carson’s
fictitious attorney. Today he has a new profession. He’s
been declared president-elect, and other politicians across
the nation are volunteering to lead just like he will.

This numbskull is a case in point.

He’s right

If you are a young black male, the probability of being murdered by another young black male is very high.

Of course he would surrender to the 12%.

Hell he looks at the 1% gender confused and see how far they got and what do you expect.

And we have passed laws dealing with all of these things. So what the heck is his beef?

And what is the goal? Will Louisville be heaven on earth, once he implements whatever new government programs he seeks to implement?
