  • An invitation issue has sparked some tension in Boston City Hall after an email went out to all city councilors about a holiday party when it was only meant for councilors of color. Mayor Michelle Wu has since apologized.

    Nothing says Merry Christmas more than discrimination. Good Job, Michelle.

    She’s apologizing that you know about it.
    Better question that “journalists” should be asking: are public funds or facilities being used for racially segregated events? Because that could likely be unlawful.

    Only a year ago she was caught making an anti-white joke about Boston's public employee unions. Now she's excluding ONLY the people she derided from an event; I wonder if the event is in a public or private facility. Has she wished away the 14th amendment? And what about her white husband? Is he also persona non grata? Can he at least eat under the table, or maybe with the kitchen help?

    How there is a Mayor who doesn’t know advocates against racism and discrimination like MLK was against segregation and died longing for that day their dream became a reality, and here we have a Mayor like this promoting segregation based on race. She needs to ask how she would feel if she accidentally got an invitation that was meant for whites or men only. Don’t tell me this is different, or that folks would say it’s no big deal.

    Mayor Wu said they are plenty of other parties/events over the holidays where all members will celebrate together. Just curious...parties and events are expensive, do they have MANY parties for the holiday season? Are all these parties funded by public taxpayer money? Corporations have only one holiday party. The city of Boston office should have only one holiday party that is funded by city's budget. Rest of the holiday parties should be at the expense of those attending and not be from the city's budget aka taxpayers dollars!

    Boston City should remove this mayor immediately she is a racist. She is living proof that it doesn't matter what color you are you can be racist. This woman and every one of the city officials that went to that racist party should be held accountable and there should be calls for their removal from office. This is not some business group these are government officials that have literally called out for racial divide, segregation at its finest in Boston in 2023
