Mamdani Announces New Racial Equity Plan Mandated Under The “Whole Of Government”

It is unclear when officials will start working for the people of New York City, but as of writing this, the best they can do is anti-racism training. To call that pathetic would be an understatement. According to Gothamist: Under the plan, the city would aim to improve pay equity in city roles, provide anti-racism training for city staff, and improve data collection across various demographics, among other goals.“The neighborhoods hit hardest by rent and the rising nature of it, by childcare costs and the suffocating manner of it, are the same ones that have been hit for years by institutional neglect and racism,” Mamdani said at a press conference announcing the report, at Medgar Evers College in Brooklyn. “ In that way, New York City's affordability crisis and its history of racial inequity are bound together.”You don't have to be an economics or racial scholar to understand this has nothing to do with skin color. The racial equity plan is required by the city’s charter, under ballot reforms overwhelmingly passed by voters in 2022. A draft of the first racial equity plan was due in early 2024 under former Mayor Eric Adams — and a version of the plan was completed by the end of Adams' tenure — but it was never released.New York City has a lot of problems, but the last thing the mayor should be focusing on is so-called skin color “inequities.” Not only will that do nothing to make the city better off, but it is racist and bigoted to claim to help one group of people solely because of the color of their skin, or their gender, while others would also benefit from such help. It is unclear when the city will do a thing or two to actually make NYC a better place, but as of writing this, officials continue to wreak havoc on a once-great city. And the fact that none of this is surprising makes it that much more infuriating. - YouTube www.youtube.com
