“Boston has become a little bit of a target in terms of culture wars and white supremacist action,” Mayor Michelle Wu claimed. “We represent what progress looks like.”
In a municipality where Biden won 82% of the vote and the city council includes an African Muslim woman in a hijab, the first “Afro-Latina” and the first “Haitian-American,” but only a minority of white Irish politicians terrified of being canceled, where is this threat coming from?
Despite that, the Harvard Law grad who is married to a white banker has blamed all her problems on white people.
“I’m getting used to dealing with problems that are expensive, disruptive and white,” Wu had sneered at the Saint Patrick’s Day Breakfast while surrounded by the old Irish guard that used to define Boston. Sitting and smiling next to her was Senator Elizabeth Warren, a fellow “woman of color” and her old Harvard Law professor, who had given Wu her start in politics.
Wu’s racist taunts and feigned victimhood are meant to distract voters from the shift in the ‘town’ and ‘gown’ balance of power that has Maura Healey, a Harvard grad, taking over as governor, Elizabeth Warren, a former Harvard Law prof in the Senate, and now Wu, a Harvard and Harvard Law grad, running the city so far into the ground it’ll take another Big Dig to get it out.
Working-class Bostonians have been ground under the Ivy League stiletto heels of the ambitious, powerful and wealthy graduates of an elite institution. Since taking power, Mayor Wu has battled a lawsuit accusing her of racially discriminating against the Italian-American restaurateurs of the North End and convened the Reparations Task Force even though Massachusetts had abolished slavery as soon as America won its independence.
At its convening, Wu bizarrely claimed that, “for four hundred years, the brutal practice of enslavement and recent policies like redlining” denied black people the ability to “live freely.”
Massachusetts was the first state to ban slavery in its constitution. Massachusetts lawyers filed ‘Freedom Suits’ on behalf of slaves beginning in the 1770s. Boston became the national center of abolitionism and 1% of the state’s population died fighting during the Civil War.
They included many of the Irish immigrants whose descendants Wu now slurs.
Councilor Tania Fernandes Anderson, a Muslim immigrant from Cape Verde, blasted the “historical legacies of anti-black racism” and the “systemic white supremacy that are embedded and entrenched within the political and economic status quo.” Cape Verde was founded by Portuguese slave owners as a staging area and supply point for the slave trade. Fernandes is the most common last name there, likely indicating descent from slave owners.
Historical facts are of no interest to Wu, Anderson and other political extremists, many associated with Senator Elizabeth Warren, who distort them to divide us and seize power.
While Mayor Wu claimed to be a civil libertarian, once in office she assembled a list of enemies that was passed on to the police. The list of Wu’s “vocal critics” included opponents of vaccine mandates, a city council candidate, restaurant owners who had accused her of racism and “a woman with the last name of Thuy.” Wu claimed that the list was a “matter of safety”.
Every time Wu has been criticized, she and her political allies have responded by playing the victim. After vaccine mandate protests, leftist allies, including racist extremists like Rep. Ayanna Pressley, claimed that Wu was being targeted because she is a woman and a “person of color” rather than because people who were not vaccinated felt discriminated against.
“I’ve grown up my whole life knowing what it feels like to feel invisible or othered, and this is an experience that far too many Americans share,” the Harvard grad complained, in response to protests from people who genuinely feared being ‘othered’ and barred from public places.
“Unfortunately, it’s nothing that I am experiencing by myself,” Wu claimed. “A lot of women of color, a lot of people of color in leadership positions.”
In reality the protesters were a racially mixed crowd.
After Boston Children’s Hospital was caught promoting “gender affirmation” for kids as young as 2, Wu claimed that the expose, triggered in part by Libs of TikTok, an Orthodox Jewish woman, represented “white supremacist action”.
While Mayor Wu and her allies have claimed that she was targeted as an “Asian American woman” rather over her abusive policies, she’s ignored actual anti-Asian racism from within her administration. Jessicah Pierre, her chief spokeswoman, had allegedly tweeted, “chinky”.
But, Pierre was a former comms director for the Black Economic Council of Massachusetts and this was not the anti-Asian racism that Mayor Wu was looking for.
Mayor Michelle Wu doesn’t actually care about anti-Asian racism. Or about Asian people.
When District Attorney Rachael Rollins (since forced to resign in disgrace from a federal position) announced that she would not prosecute shoplifters, Asian businesses were among the hardest hit. Yet Wu not only supported Rollins then, she supports her now.
Wu sold out Asian parents on admission exams that were meant to reduce the number of white and Asian students at prestigious schools. She sold out Asians facing violence from thugs who were no longer being arrested or locked up. And on every issue that matters she has stood with leftists and pro-crime activists rather than Asian-Americans. And yet every time she’s been criticized, Wu has claimed that it’s only because her critics hate that she’s a Chinese woman.
Michelle Wu’s cynical exploitation of race is as despicable as her political track record. Her racist taunts and racial victimhood are attempts to distract the public from the fact that the city and the state’s political system are dominated by wealthy Harvard leftist elites.
Despite spending more on students than any other large school district, Boston’s test scores have catastrophically declined. Suffolk County saw an exodus of 3.3% of its population and the number of middle class households continues to drop. Despite her majority-minority cabinet, the majority-minority council and all the claims of racism, Wu’s real legacy is failure.
Every leftist policy has been an unmitigated disaster and everything that Wu and her radical allies touched has fallen apart. All the puff pieces on how historic Wu is because of her race can’t change that unhappy fact.
“I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the telephone directory,” William F. Buckley once said, “than by the Harvard University faculty.”
Massachusetts and Boston have been blessed with the opportunity to be governed by Harvard’s best and brightest. Now, record numbers of people are leaving the city and the state.
“White supremacy” didn’t wreck Boston, Mayor Wu and her Warrenite allies did.

Michelle Wu Hu Hu the RACIST. They always accuse others of what they are! I guess elections have consequences. Maybe Bostonians will wake up and realize you can’t elect marxist haters like Wu Hu Hu and expect things to turn out well.
Elections are being stolen.
As a US citizen born in Boston and now living in Australia 🇦🇺… someone whose late father owned reputable businesses in Norwood and Westwood for many years and who was even a member of the Rotary Club.., I have TWO WORDS for Mayor Michelle Wu: “You’re FIRED!”
God bless America! ❤️🇺🇸📜
“A lot of women of color, a lot of people of color in leadership positions.”
Yes, she’s right, after 250 YEARS integration of different cultures doesn’t work.
These leftist lunatics claim that climate change is going to kill the whole planet in 12 years but deny 250 years of evidence on this issue.
In the 1930s America was 90% white and Christian and yet those white Christians voted for FDR’s socialist, welfare state, policies four times. They voted for tyranny four times, why? Because of Christianity’s central and dominant moral code of altruism and self-sacrifice.
The altruism of Christianity, in conjunction with the lying and deceiving MSM of FRDs time, had primed the American culture to vote for FRD’s welfare state four times.
“America’s inner contradiction was the altruist-collectivist ethics. Altruism is incompatible with freedom, with capitalism and with individual rights. One cannot combine the pursuit of happiness with the moral status of a sacrificial animal….
From her start, America was torn by the clash of her political system with the altruist morality. Capitalism and altruism are incompatible; they are philosophical opposites; they cannot co-exist in the same man or in the same society. Today, the conflict has reached its ultimate climax; the choice is clear-cut: either a new morality of rational self-interest, with its consequences of freedom, justice, progress and man’s happiness on earth—or the primordial morality of altruism, with its consequences of slavery, brute force, stagnant terror and sacrificial furnaces.” – Ayn Rand
And atheists murdered millions in the 20th century communist countries.
Yeah, FDR bought votes because Christians are dumb. That makes sense. Everybody in America voted based on what they heard in Church.
DERP.
Yes. We Christians are dumb because we have syncretized with ideas and people who are enemies of Christ, believing their false gospels. All truth may be God’s truth, but if you cannot discern the truth or you compromise in order to be “winsome,” you become an enemy tool.
Like the Jews, Christians have been a Satanic target for thousands of years. If you want to see what your enemy fears most, watch where the attacks are concentrated.
Christian altruism requires you spend your own resources for charitable purposes. It is not stealing resources from others (under color of law) to spend on your idea of charitable purposes.
Christianity is never altruistic. Charitable, yes. But NEVER altruistic.
One scripture in context is all you need to shoot me down. We live and die by the Word of God. Use that weapon, THX.
I wonder if Ms WU is related to Mr WU the Mr WU made famous, in song, by George Formby?
So glad I bailed on Boston back in the ’70s
Yeah, whites are infamous for the White Lives Matter race riots.
Cretin. Do the human race a favor. Try to walk through a black “hood.
‘Mayor Michelle Wu claimed. “We represent what progress looks like.”’ And it is truly a cautionary tale,
Democrats are the new red coats. A reference to 1776 Boston. You’ve forgotten your own history.
Mayor Hogsett (D) of Indy is no prize either. During the BLM/Antifa riots, both he and Indiana Governor Holcomb (R, sort of) made themselves scarce as downtown violence and looting raged. The local DA is, if not a Soros guy, the next worst thing. The tried-and-failed Democratic cures for crime are failing again. Outward flight of Republicans has made the city safe for radical Democrats to be elected and reelected ’til the end of time. Farrakhan’s buddy, Andre Carson is the local Congressman. For some reason, the quality of life has suffered.
Congressman Carson’s grandmother, Julia May Carson, served the same seat her grandson now serves. She, too, was associated Louis Farrakhan.
One has to wonder when the intersectional Left will find its incessant claims of anti-almost everybody white racism fall on deaf ears and will have to actually take responsibility for their own failings.
Never, sadly it will NEVER happen.
Wu Tai Tai, Ni Fam Pe! “Mrs. Wu, your mouth is passing GAS!”
I studied Mandarin in Taiwan decades ago in Taiwan. Difficult to speak, (4 tones) impossible for me to read and write! I remember the insulting phrase, similar to English “you’re full of s—t” My spelling is taken from a laborious Yale Romanization program which made it possible to learn to speak.
As a Texas white boy I enjoyed my life in Taipei
Life in Greater Boston is far more racist then anything
So-called rednecks have seen or practiced in the last 50+ years!
It will happen when every last white person is dead. Then we will have diversity. Go figure.
Is this Machiavellianism?
It seems to fit the psychological profile. And then some.
Have you noticed that the roles of employer (we, the people) and employee (the elected, hired government) have been reversed?
Since when is a politician infallible, free of responsibility and accountability to the electorate, with an unchecked hand, free to do anything once elected, until the next election?
Unlike a business, there seem to be no viable counter measures in the government‘s justice system to remove and replace a criminally negligent elected official because the justice system has become a hermetically sealed, incestuous circle of injustice and moral rot.
So what’s the plan?
Only God knows.
To the voters of Boston I point to the definition of insanity. Racism by the proclaimed victims is now common place and acquiescence is slavery. The left offering safety through acceptance of heresy, and promotion for its elaboration. What is “white” about equality under the law or its establishment?
The irony is the Chinese and the Chinese-Americans are some of the most bigoted race of people there are on planet Earth.
I had a Peruvian-Chinese-American friend, born in Peru to Chinese parents, a China-Latina. But she spoke only Spanish and English. The poor girl was always being mistaken for a cultural Chinese by other cultural Chinese and when they found out she was culturally China-Latina they despised her as some kind of traitor. Some other species.
I have no doubt if Ms. Wu were to go live in China she would experience the same bigoted ostracism as my China-Latina friend did here in America by the cultural Chinese.
Ethnocentricity and the implications therein may warrant curiosity when one strand is a full quintile of earth’s population.
It’s a long-standing Chinese cultural norm; pre-Communist China, post-Communist China, China at all levels. And, if Mrs. Wu doesn’t speak EXCELLENT Mandarin and she goes to the PRC with the goal of melding-into the power structure, she will be treated like she has leprosy. Even if fluent, she’ll have to work her way up from the bottom in the “wolf culture”. Fifty-one (51) official minority groups (indigenous) living w/in the PRC can tell you about living with the Han Chinese. Enough said.
What a head case! Is she related to other nut job, Pocohontas Warren? On the surface, Boston is a beautiful city – but dig down and see a real mess!
IT’S ALL PART OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY’S WOKE FASCIST MOVEMENT
But if that’s the case, why haven’t federal prosecutors also gone after Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.)? She clearly lied her way into a Harvard Law School professorship and an erstwhile presidential candidacy by claiming, in part, quite falsely she was a Native American, supposedly Harvard’s first indigenous law professor. VICTOR DAVIS HANSON
The LeftTwats are the racist supremacists that always accuse everybody else of that. They are a lot like Islamofascists – always making claims that are the exact opposite of the facts
Wu was making jokes about Italian restaurant owners who had accused her of discriminating against them because they’re white and firefighters.
Here’s the context.
here’s the video
the setup for the gag is pretty obvious
You’d have to be a humorless brain dead idiot to miss it.
So your mistake is understandable
Samuel Poop, you must be from the most inbred neighborhood in Boston, not that there’s any other type of neighborhood there. Say hello to your sister on Mother’s Day.
Michelle Wuhan is a racist twat just like you.
Wu is a yellow commie supremacist, the worst.
Maybe she should stick to politics and leave comedy to the very few remaining professional comedians, if comedy is what she was trying to do. Leftists are not known for their sense of humor.
That’s weird… because I want Chicoms OUT of America. This country wasn’t founded for inferiors like YOU, Michelle Wu… so let’s start with you my little wonton scumbag.
The vile Dumb-o-crats now feel completely unabashed casually and flippantly spewing their contemptible racism.
I had a clerk who was rather outspoken and one day when she was asking employees about their preference for pizza for lunch one of the “preppy boys” told her he wanted a veggie pizza because he didn’t eat meat. She just said “ok”! And then he stepped in it! He said “you don’t like me because I’m a vegetarian”! She said “NO, I don’t like you because you’re an a55hole”!! I suspect that Wu thang is one too!
There is nothing like a Chinese American WOMAN who never went hungry or homeless a day in her life and who went to Harvard but screams victim victim and continues to do so in her current Job that pays… how much?.
If Fascism ever came to America it will come disguised as Liberalism…Ronald Reagan.
FYI.. It has arrived.
As a Chinese female I wonder when was the last time she went into a black area of Boston and had Dinner with her European American Banker Husband…
Inquiring minds want to know.
You’re a Chinese chick? I never would’ve guessed, especially considering your screen name.
I don’t know about the real guy but that TV show was funny.
This is what happens when men are no longer allowed to be men, or should I say when they no longer allow themselves to be men.
The left is dishonest and pursues political power, no matter what it takes to get it, including nullifying the First Amendment, which they don’t believe in.
Typical leftist comment. All conservatives are ignorant, empty-headed boobs who are easily “played” by dishonest, unethical writers. Of course, that never happens to leftists.
Michelle Wu is a typical “Berniecrat,” that is, a Democrat who clings to the beliefs of socialist Bernie Sanders.
“We represent what progress looks like.” NO! You represent what regressive ignorance, authoritarian repression and deep seated envy looks like. Since you hate America, consider moving to one of the many wonderful communist nations where everything is so equal and leave us alone. I’m sure they would take you. Give it a try. Don’t forget your Harvard degree. You’ll need that. I hope you share all you learned from there because whatever they taught you, it does no good here.
Every “rare” comment I’ve ever made on this site is always locked under ‘Your comment is awaiting moderation.’ I could say “the grass is green” and I still get flagged. It’s as if I’ve said something offensive. (which I haven’t)
Perhaps FP is just another one of the many “control the narrative” sites. I don’t know. But either way it sure is irritating to read an article, write something and send the link to someone asking them to read my comment only to find out they can’t find what I’ve written.
This site does that to most comments. It’s supposedly part of the program that handles the comment board. Don’t take it personally.
I notice that not ALL my comments get flagged for moderation, though.
That’s what a failed, third-world country looks like: Incompetent and corrupt bureaucrats with an agenda of advancing their own petty peeves ruling over the cities and states. That’s why the U.S.A. is nowadays practically indistinguishable from Somalia, El Salvador or Mexico. “Tell me who your immigrants are and I’ll tell you what your country is”.
There is a good reason why Boston’s Axis of Evil (Harvard, the Globe and Planned Parenthood) are never mentioned. They have a power grip on every facet of the government structure.
As long as she espouses this kind of attitude toward Caucasians – if that is indeed true – I refuse to visit Boston any longer. I used to enjoy Red Sox games when I would visit each summer, but the city is now way too “woke” for my tastes.
Regarding Sam Pope and the bussing riots in the 70’s. One of it’s biggest opponents was Joe Biden, claiming he didn’t want his kids going to school in a jungle, “no joke”!
And normal people are getting tired of dealing with intellectually challenged Communists grabbing our money hand over first. Grifter, back to whatever hole you crawled out of.
I wonder when more Americans will get angry and end this BS. Better yet, I would really like a giant sunspot to wipe out all electronics for 1 year. That would solve most of the worlds problems. EMP anyone?
There always seems to be a common thread amongst these people. They all graduated from big name colleges. Colleges nowadays are nothing but hate factories. They push CRT and other nonsense, not healthy for any society.
Useful idiots feel righteous in their social-revisionist causes only until after the revolution is completed, their usefulness is over, and they become just more human grist for the state mill like everyone else. After the Boshevik revolution, many of true-beleivers in the new utopia, who became outraged, when they discovered this truth were jailed or short. And since Mao’s Red Guard, who were instrumental in him consolidating power, became a potential destabilizing force to his new regime 1 year later, they were similarly treated and cast-aside. Let’s see how righteous Wu feels once she learns what the real ‘place at the table’ awaiting her is.
If there’s one group of people historically who have not abused or enslaved others or sought an empire it is the Celtic people, of which the Irish is the main branch. The Chinese and the African Blacks cannot make the same claim, as they have all sought empires and enslaved others.
We are not “White” people. We are Irish, Italian, French, German etc. The anti-white racisim has to stop!
Michelle Wu is an active racist and I have to wonder if she’s an agent of the Chinese Communist government that seeks to destroy this country or is she naturally destructive on her own?
I really appreciate this series of articles. Wu proves that higher education is a misnomer
What about the blatantly anti-White, racist gathering she recently conducted?
