But thanks to Biden and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, the primarily Black community lost The facility was once the center of the community. According to city data, Roxbury’s population is about 57 percent black, 30 percent Latino, and just 6 percent white, and its median income is much lower than Boston as a whole ($30,654 for Roxbury; All of Boston is $52,433).
Black community activist Clifton Braithwaite was disgusted by the city’s actions.
Braithwaite said his neighbors are being disrespected as the city supports Biden’s mass influx of illegal aliens.
“We care about our immigrant brothers and sisters, but there needs to be a fair balance. Why don’t we ask people who have been depressed for over 10 years in the mass market, who didn’t have money, now they have money? Can we say we found it?” Braithwaite told WBZ.
The city’s action in taking Roxbury’s community center away from the Black community also prompted a shocking post from Elon Musk, the head of X and the president of Tesla.

Boston isn’t the only big city led by Democrats to close community centers, schools and parks and hand them over to Biden’s influx of illegal aliens.
Chicago also sparked local outrage late last year when radical leftist Mayor Brandon Johnson moved undocumented Biden immigrants into Amundsen Park Fieldhouse in the Galewood neighborhood.
The closure plan quickly sparked a massive outcry from Galewood and other Chicago residents.
Similar shutdowns occurred in New York City when Mayor Eric Adams began shutting down resources for residents and turning them over to illegal aliens.
