This one tweet about a racist encounter in Boston sparked dozens of similar stories

Is Boston racist? Plenty of signs point to yes. The city has been called out many times for being home to a number of racist acts, from a Fenway crowd member calling Baltimore Orioles outfielder Adam Jones the N-word last summer to comedian Michael Che saying Boston is “the most racist city” he has ever been to. Now, another spotlight is shining on racism in Boston after a Twitter user shared her experience and received a flood of responses telling similar stories.

Four things I learned of this story:

1 Some people are surprised to learn that "progressives" can be racist.

2.Only whites do bad things.

3. Emergency responders who are white likely check in advance the people whom they are helping. After all, a white fireman for instance would never save a minority in a burning building.

4."White men are trash."

I’ve spent a lot of time in Boston. Probably the most racist city I’ve ever been. Other than that, I love going to Boston.

Chicago and LA are pretty high on the racists list too.

Most blacks in the south that lived up north will tell you they are treated much better by others.

Well, if Michael Che says so, it must be so.

 

 

Wait. Who the heck is Michael Che?

And blacks never call each other the n-word?

I am getting old so I may remember further back than you. After all the screaming and hollering about segregation subsided in the South, there was still segregation in Boston. Violent Segregation. Racism isn’t isolated to a certain geographic area, or a demographic area. Still waters run deep.

People who call other people racist as a weapon are sub-human scum.

Segregation and isolation runs in Chicago also. The leftists who run these cities know the deal and play the system to their advantage.

I have lived in the “south” with all my extended family from the north.

The only people I know who use the N word are from Chicago, New York, and Detroit.

In my years as Georgia tech in the early 90s I never once heard the word.

Interesting how quick someone is to call out a city and metro, no matter which part of the country, based on a couple of minor “name calling” etc incidents

What happened to that mantra, you know, the one that said “don’t blame the whole for the sins of the fews”?

Anyone remember that, say, from the Sixties, et seq?

I grew up in SoCal. I remember how we felt so superior to the bigots in the South. But, in my town there was one high school (We’ll call it Poly) that was 50/50 black and white. The other high schools were virtually all white. The 50/50 school oddly had two proms. One in the school gym and one a few miles away at a country club. As the black part of town expanded, the high school district’s attendance lines shifted to keep the blacks at Poly. I think there was only one or two blacks at my high school. But we didn’t have segregation, no, not at all.

90% of interracial violence is black on White.

Of course that's not racism racism, as Whoopi would.

Real racism is Paula Deen referring to the criminal that pointed a gun at her head while robbing her as a nigger.

You think LA has lots of people who hate other races, or are you saying LA has more people of various races who are bigoted against those of other groups?

I spent the summer of 1976 in Boston. I have quite a few relatives there, for the most part blue color.

They were the most racist people I had ever met.

They hated everybody: blacks, Jews, Italians, Poles.

I was about to start at MIT, changed my mind, went back to UC Berkeley (go figure). ;o)

So its been around for quite a while.

Who the hell did you spend time with?

I grew up in Boston with MANY Italians,Armenians and Jews. Fewer blacks and Poles.

You were hanging around with the wrong people.
