I'm glad you enjoy the outrage Frank.
I've enjoyed the word salad coming out of Wu's mouth trying to explain away the unfortunate e-mail that was mistakenly sent to whitey electeds.
I've heard this segregated "holiday party" has been going on for 10 years or more, but this is the first time a mistake in invitations was made apparently.
As far as the party not being funded by taxpayer money (supposedly), I have serious doubts whenever electeds are involved. If not, who's paying?
Wu has stated there would be other nonsegregated holiday parties where city officials of all races would gather together, so clearly the so-called “electeds of color” holiday party is meant to be a non-inclusive political "club" event under the guise of a "holiday party".
This LEFTY-PROGRESSIVE mayor pretends to be a model of inclusiveness, while at the same time defends the practice of providing niches that exclude white people and even has defended her policies that discriminate against white people.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu shows off photo from ‘electeds of color’ holiday party after defending gathering: ‘A special moment’By Social Links for Nicholas McEntyre

Quote:Boston Mayor Michelle Wu proudly shared a photo of the controversial “electeds of color” holiday party she hosted on Wednesday, showcasing all the smiling government officials of minority backgrounds at the “no whites” gathering.
“Last night was my turn to host the annual holiday dinner for Boston’s elected officials of color—a special moment to appreciate that our affinity group now includes leadership across city, state, county, and federal offices,” Wu wrote in a caption alongside the photo on Instagram.
Wu, 38, came under fire earlier this week when her director of City Council Relations Denise DosSantos emailed the party’s exclusive invitation to all members of the City Council instead of only the “electeds of color.”
Boston’s City Council is comprised of six minority and seven white members, who were not the intended targets of the email.
The aide realized her mistake approximately fifteen minutes after the message and sent a follow-up email to the white council members who received the invitation by mistake.
“I wanted to apologize for my previous email regarding a Holiday Party for tomorrow,” DosSantos wrote in her follow-up. “I did send that to everyone by accident, and I apologize if my email may have offended or came across as so. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused.”
One of the councilors who was uninvited didn’t seem to mind the awkward emails, saying he doesn’t easily offend.
“I don’t really get offended too easily,” Baker, a white Democrat, told the Boston Herald. “To offend me, you’re going to have to do much more than not invite me to a party.”
“I find it unfortunate that with the temperature the way it is, that we would further that division,” he added.
