Mayor Wu: You Can’t Talk About Boston’s Achievements Without Mentioning Somalis

A brief timeline of Boston history under the new educational guidelines of Mayor Wu.

1632 – The Massachusetts Bay Colony is founded by Mohammed Bradford and other Somali Puritans looking for a place to practice Sharia law and marry their cousins.

1723 – Abdul Wahab Franklin publishes a Somali community newspaper under the name Jihad Dogood.

1773 – Somalis hold the Boston Porkpie Party, throwing pork pies into the party because they’re not Halal.

1775 – Omar Abdul Revere rides frantically through the night, relaying a signal from a mosque, that the health inspectors are coming.

1775 – At the Battle of Bunker Hill, Mohamad Omar defeats the British by getting a medical diagnosis finding that all of his 369 children suffer from autism and must be subsidized by the NHS. The British promptly flee and go back home.

What would Boston be like without Somalis? Mayor Wu, who has the dubious accomplishment of being the worst mayor in Boston history (also the only one to hide behind her baby) can’t imagine Boston without Somalis.

Mayor Wu complained that Somalis waiting to receive citizenship had been blocked by immigration officials. “We will not be quiet. Boston is the cradle of liberty and we stand with our Somali neighbors,” Wu whined. “you cannot talk about any achievement the City of Boston has had in safety, jobs and economic development, in education without mentioning the Somali community that has lifted our city up.”

That’s Wu’s view of Somalis. What’s her view of Boston’s traditional Irish and other Americans?

“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.

There’s a reason she was featured in our list of ‘Most Racist Mayors’.

Somalis built Boston. White people are just ruining it.
