The NFL New England Patriots are so bad this year that they spend little to no time in the end zone from game to game.

It’s unfortunate for a couple of reasons.  One, it’s why they stink.  But, more importantly, two, they rarely get a chance to read their own “writing” at the back of the end zone.

“END RACISM” is the message and it’s screamed in all caps to ensure you get it loud and clear.

They didn’t listen to Morgan Freeman many years ago.  He proclaimed that if you want to stop racism, stop talking about it.

Joe Biden didn’t listen.  He promised and delivered on a campaign promise to nominate the first black woman justice to the Supreme Court if he were elected.  He made sure you heard it loud and clear.  Keep telling the people they’re being held back, but you’re the solution.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu must not have Patriots season tickets.  She drew criticism Wednesday after her aide sent a holiday party invite to all members of the Boston City Council for an “Electeds of Color Holiday Party,” even though seven of the officials are white.

“We had individual conversations with everyone so people understand that it was truly just an honest mistake that went out in typing the email field,” Wu claimed.  What’s amazing is she isn’t apologizing for being exclusive, she’s apologizing that you were mistakenly invited to an event that you weren’t invited to.

“It is my intention that we can, again, be a city that lives our values and create space for all kinds of communities to come together,” she added.  There’s nothing like a noninclusive event to create space for all kinds of communities to come together.

They must have had a lot of word salad at the event.  Per Freeman, when will it not be all kinds of communities, but one community of Americans?

Why do we seemingly talk about racism as it applies to blacks disproportionately?  Never forget, Black Lives Matter.  Is it because the other races get Freeman’s message and don’t want to talk about it?

Black City Councilor Brian Worrell held a different opinion and defended the invitation, suggesting the holiday party was merely a way to represent “all kinds of special groups” in the Boston government.

Most kinds maybe.  Some kinds for sure.  But all kinds?  Nope.

“I don’t get offended too easily,” outgoing Councilman Frank 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.”

Outgoing Baker wants us to stop talking about it, it seems.  Would a similar sentiment exist if the dinner tables were turned?

We wonder if Wu promised to nominate someone to replace him(assuming Frank identifies as such) with the first half-black, half-brown, illegal, disabled, binary, or nonbinary Ukrainian alien.

END RACISM.
