I meant that. The “silly” part. It’s
almost like left-wingers sit around all day trying to outdo one another by coming up with
something else to call “racist” the fault, of course, of “White supremacy.” But now, the mayor of Salt Lake City and seven members of the city council have kicked it up a notch adopting a joint resolution that takes the silliness a step further by declaring “racism” itself a “public health crisis.”

SALT LAKE CITY Salt Lake City Council and Mayor Erin Mendenhall adopted a joint resolution on Tuesday declaring racism a public health crisis.
The resolution acknowledged that racism both interpersonal and structural has harmful effects on the mental and physical health of communities of color resulting in significant health disparities. Racism is a key driver of the determinants of health, shaping access to these resources such as education, housing, employment, and health care that creates opportunities for health, the resolution stated.
