Cambridge Gets Another Award

Cambridge keeps winning awards. On Monday March 17, 2008 Roy Bercaw,
Chairman of the Awards Committee of The North American Coalition of
Human Rights Committees, presented a Certificate of Appreciation to
the City of Cambridge. Donna Lopez accepted the award for the city
during public comment of the City Council meeting. See the award ceremony at
this link.

The certificate recognized that the City prohibits white racism,
encourages black racism, and denies to persons with disabilities
access to city programs and government services.
For nine years Cambridge got a Triple A Bond Rating. The New York
State Attorney General investigates the three rating agencies for
fraud.
Cambridge Community Television got an award for being the best cable
access station in the USA for three years in a row. The management
took credit for the work of volunteers.
"This is to recognize the hard work of Cambridge City Councilors and
the City Manager to create an atmosphere in the city," Bercaw said.
"It is not easy to have a policy which prohibits white racism and
encourages black racism," he added.
"Some people are able to see the hypocrisy. But most don't. That's why
the city can do this. The three elements of this award give credit
where credit is due."
Denying persons with disabilities equal rights is accomplished by a
joint effort of complicit journalists and a some straw men appointed
by the City Manager to pretend to protect the rights of persons with
disabilities. Nudge, nudge. Wink, wink.
The City Manager did not answer the question, "Can Cambridge get too
many awards?"
