Listening to NPR this morning lament that although Boston elected the first Woman of color as mayor, it is not enough. With three black candidates in the race and one of them the incumbent, they pointed to the overwhelming support of those candidates in black-majority districts at 75% but only 25% support for those black candidates in white-majority districts. Their goal conclusion? Racism, of course. And the implication that black voters should only vote for black candidates, despite Pressley, a member of the Squad, supporting the Asian candidate. So once again, to combat perceived racism, we must engage in more racism. The logic escapes me!
