New York City voters approved three ballot questions on Tuesday concerning race proposed by the city's Racial Justice Commission.
Former NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio established the commission in 2021 as a "temporary appointed government body that is tasked with reviewing the entire City Charter and proposing amendments," according to the commission’s 2021 final report.
One of the ballot measures approved in the Nov. 8 election creates a permanent Office of Racial Equity within the city government, along with a Racial Equity Commission to establish priorities and "review agency and citywide Racial Equity Plans."
Another ballot measure added a preamble to the city's charter stating that New York City "must strive to remedy ‘past and continuing harms and to reconstruct, revise, and reimagine our foundations, structures, institutions, and laws to promote justice and equity for all New Yorkers.’"
The third successful ballot measure proposed by the Racial Justice Commission mandates that the city draw up a yearly "True Cost of Living" measurement to look into the true cost of city living, including housing, childcare, food and other factors.
The commission promised to investigate "structural racism within NYC… to identify structural barriers facing Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian, Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern and all People of Color (BIPOC*) in NYC and, based on community input, has put forward Ballot Questions aimed at eliminating barriers and promoting racial equity."
In its "recommendations" section, it advocates for "public naming and acknowledgment of past harms and traumas" in the form of "public apologies, and reparative actions." In creating the commission, de Blasio likened the commission’s role in NYC to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission established in Apartheid South Africa. ***

Racial equity? I love it!!!! Now I can sue for having been denied a $10 million a year NBA contract.After all 70% of the population is white yet 2% of NBA players are white.Therefore we need racial equity in the NBA.
More anti-white racism enforced by government.
Doubling down on the stupid.
The Racial Equity Commission AKA The Re-assignation of Dr. Martin Luther King
assassination?
Glad that they’re finally going to do something about how bad the Irish were treated.
They will not stop until they have murdered every white person.
LOL! Never could spell!
Racial equity is illegal. Blacks can bust their asses and compete, or they can remain perpetually last place.
Great movie.
Even one Asian, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Inuit or white voter who voted for the Dems in New York is going to see how abominably stupid they were. Equity means revenge against non-blacks to hurt them, not justice.
Like the Soviet in the ending of Fail Safe who is heard on the hotline call to the White House shooting himself in the head at the Kremlin because he realized the Americans were telling the truth and he just made worldwide atomic war annihilation take place by his mistake.
This is why I’m for secession. There are too, many, different groups in the U.S. clamoring for their own interests as “minorities” and come from socialist countries. I hope I see it in my lifetime, maybe not, but it will happen. Chinese run China. Japan runs Japan. So and so forth. Only the West has the pathological Altruism.
Even one Asian, Latinx, Pacific Islander, Inuit or white voter who voted for the Dems in New York is going to see how abominably stupid they were.
No, they’re not. That isn’t going to happen. They’re tribal and vote in an egalitarian manner. If they had any sense of improving they would have done it in their own countries first.

Regards,
We pretty much already had that equity philosophy before the election, even though it wasn’t codified in the law.
Everything is about “race” these days. Such a simple concept. Everyone can understand it.
Only problem is it defeats exactly what it is trying to attain: equality.
Thank you Karen.
