No $5 million reparation payments, but Boston's colored politicians did throw themselves a party paid for by taxpayers of all races.

Victory dinner

Boston’s Mayor posts picture of her Colored People’s Dinner, but promises that she’ll host another, whites-allowed party sometime in the future.

“I look forward to celebrating with everyone at all parties and hoping to once again be a city that lives its values and creates spaces for all kinds of communities to come together.”

Right after Christmas, when the season of brotherly love expires, and the reelection season begins.

UPDATE: I went looking for a Norman Rockwell parody illustration of a KKK Thanksgiving to add to this post, and although I couldn’t find one, I did run across this silly bit of propaganda created in 2022. Naive and foolish then, it’s screamingly obsolete today.
