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.

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

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.

So much crap, where do I begin. In 1960, I attend a city wide exam school in Boston. It included black students mixed in with whites. Most blacks attended a local school in their black neighborhood just like whites attended schools in their neighborhoods.

Boston's problems with race really began with Judge Garrity forcing busing on the City. His reasoning was that Blacks in the Roxbury got short changed on education because they were black. So he made blacks get on buses and go to other neighborhoods in Boston. This coupled with a mass migration of angry blacks from the south turned Boston upside down. In no time Blacks were rioting and burning buildings. The Jews fled Blue Hill Avenue in Dorchester as the blacks burned the family store front businesses. As usual, the liberals managed to make a mess and refused to take responsibility for it.
