De Blasio blames US racism for Puerto Rico’s money problems
NY Post ^ | May 8, 2016 | Mary Kay Linge

Posted on 05/08/2016 2:04:30 AM PDT by EinNYC

Racism is to blame for Puerto Rico’s dire fiscal situation, Mayor de Blasio charged Saturday.

“The backs of the United States government turned on them, while a health-care crisis grows, a humanitarian crisis grows, the Zika crisis grows,” he said in a speech at the National Action Network in Harlem.

DumblASSio strikes again. Every time he opens his incredibly stupid mouth, he further convinces any rational being within hearing distance that he is dumber than a bag of rocks. Why would the U.S. be at fault for Puerto Rico's problems? They have their own government and do what they want to do. If they make problems for themselves, how can that be blamed on us? Bad enough that the president of the NYC Council, Ms. Mark-Viverito, is much more an advocate for her darling Puerto Rico than for her supposed NYC constituents.

The mayor is only concerned with blacks, criminals, and illegals. The rest of NYC can go to hell as far as this anal orifice is concerned. His masters, the real estate developers who financed his campaign, know he is their utter puppet. He is doing his best to ensure that they can develop every last square inch of NYC, without regard for the corresponding necessary infrastructure (I'm sure everyone likes to spend their morning commute going 5-10 mph and riding the brake the entire way) or leaving any green space. And he wants Albany to grant him permanent mayoral control of the school system! Hahahahaha!

If obamacare was forced on Puerto Rico I can see why it's having money problems, but Racism?

I deem that these word, racist, racism, no longer have power over “We the people......”

The entire world’s problems are because of white people and white people must pay. In fact, white people and especially conservatives should pay recompense and then kill themselves or hide away somewhere. That is the true meaning of globalism - make no mistake. The useful (white) idiots on the left will be brushing the dust of their hands gleefully when this has been accomplished and then find out they’re not welcome at the victory parade.

I’m hoping that some of the courageous people around Trump like Sessions and others really take anti-globalism to heart and spread it around. One man can’t do it alone. We know Sarah Palin will be on our side as well. I never thought the left would actually become this dangerous. It’s war.

They need to call the nice young men with their clean white coats for this one I’m afraid.

Puerto Rico was already going down a path toward financial chaos back in the 1990s, with the municipal bonds and expected growth of capital being pursued by the people interested in the bonds. None of this current problem has anything to deal with Obamacare, and it’s bogus for any political figure to suggest that.

Of course he blames their failures on racism. That’s the communist playbook and he’s a true believer.

Of course, it goes without saying, DeBlasio is an ass. The problem with Puerto Rico is Puerto Ricans. Ask yourself, why isn’t Puerto Rico, which has been a US territory for a hundred years, achieving great things, like Hong Kong has done for the British and, now, the Chinese? Because Puerto Ricans are cut from the same cloth as all the other “Hispanic” manana shiftless layabouts that populate every other south of the border failed state, like Mexico, Venezuela, Argentina, and Brazil.

It should be because of: racism AND man made global warming. All problems, according to the worldwide left, are because of racism and man made global warming.

If those running Puerto Rico had half a brain, they’d have secure over-55 communities for middle class US retirees. Not just the elite, but ordinary folks who need to stretch their dollars.

He's truly sincere when he first removes his teeth for their oratorical pleasure.

Young Warren Wilhelm has such nuanced insights and subtle means of expression. He must model himself on Chuck Schumer. Either of them would use a five pound sledge hammer to fix a Swiss watch.

DeBlasio, the same guy who flamed race relations between cops and blacks that led to two NY cops getting assassinated and now here he is at it again. To call this guy scum is an insult to scum everywhere.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2014_killings_of_NYPD_officers

And get this: The case of Eric Garner that Duh-Blasio used as an excuse to flame relations was completely supervised by a BLACK female Sergeant, something the MSM put on page 89 once and brushed under the rug.

Hey! My father-in-law’s people are originally from Puerto Rico. Of course, they recognized what you said back in 1914, took a boat to New York and built a life where working would actually get you ahead.
