NEW YORK (AP) — New York City’s Board of Health on Monday passed a resolution that names racism as a public health crisis, joining the growing list of state and local governments around the country that have done so in recent years.

The resolution calls on the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to take steps including reviewing the city’s health code to look for structural racism, and find ways to make changes as necessary.

“To build a healthier New York City, we must confront racism as a public health crisis,” Health Commissioner Dr. Dave Chokshi said in a statement.

Since 2019, when Milwaukee County in Wisconsin was the first to call out racism as a public health issue, dozens of places around the country have followed suit. Supporters have said it’s an important step in addressing problems.

I fully agree.

Demonrat policies DO actually present a public health crisis.

Great because the only actual racists in America are those always talking about race, dividing us by race and pitting us against each other by race and that is Democrats. Everything the left accused us of is always actually true about them. I saw an article of the perfect example, “Anti-Semitic DC Councilman Who Thought Jews Control the Weather Is Running for Mayor”, and you can give that a look at Townhall. This Dim wants to unseat the current Dim mayor and will make Marion Barry look normal if he does. They also need to change the name to NYC Bored of Health since they won’t stay on that actual topic.

Democrats are the existential threat America faces today. They are superspreaders of communism.

Antifa is just an idea...that buys a lot of all black clothing, eggs and water bottles that they freeze, and all show up in the same place at the same time to terrorize Americans.

Absolutely off their rockers! Dimmocommies will stretch anything and everything to any necessary configuration so they can get their “racism” in as a cause of everything.

Keep in mind that if they can make racism a public health crisis they can direct a lot of money to the BLM and CRT grift under the budgetary designation of "health".

Think about it long and hard and then ask yourself how many more dollars you want to go to "health".

Wasn’t this part of the problem with the CDC and the China Virus? The CDC was too busy worrying about racism and guns instead of deadly diseases.

I’d say virtue-signaling is a larger public health crisis

Like the pantifa virtue signalers that caused another $500K in damage to downtown Portland in one night...because capitalism

or the racist BLM virtue signalers given license to psychologically abuse children

Does this mean they are going to address CRT and racism against whites?
