The Feds are investigating the racists in Worcester:

And racism is nothing new in Massachusetts.

When the South was desegregated in the 1960’s by Northern politicians and activist lawyers there were some protests.

But when those same “good ideas” were applied in Massachusetts?

https://bostonresearchcenter.org/projects_files/eob/single-entry-busing.html

“In response to decades of racial segregation, in 1974, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts required the Boston Public Schools to integrate the city’s schools through busing. Court-mandated busing, which continued until 1988, provoked enormous outrage among many white Bostonians, and helped to catalyze racist violence and class tensions across the city throughout the 1970s and 1980s. Anti-busing protests and iconography became national news in these years, and cemented Boston’s reputation as a city plagued by racial and socioeconomic strife.”

See, when you want to see REAL racism you don’t go to the South, nope, you go look for Northern Democrats.

Absolutely true.

That’s exactly right. I remember the northern school integration even though I was pretty much a kid. I was surprised by the reaction because, despite what the 1619 Project says, I was taught in the south that we were the racists. Biden is a perfect example of a real, old time racist, as much or more than I’ve ever seen in the south. People don’t see it, though.

I used to work for a company in South Carolina that eventually got bought out by a New York company. They came down telling us in meetings how racist we are. When I went to New York for some meetings, I was shocked how racist the people were up there.

Dick Gregory famously said that in the north, they don’t care about how big you get as long as you don’t get too close. In the south, they don’t care about how close you get as long as you don’t get too big.

You’re exactly right. I lived in communist Massachusetts for about 15 years and they love to cast dispersions on the South like the Democrats like to cast dispersions on Republicans. They are far more racists and wannabe fascists there than in Georgia/Tennessee where I grew up and now live again.

Boston is still fairly well racially segregated and surrounding suburbs too. In the 70’s they were the most racially segregated city in the USA. You just took your safety in your own hands going into some neighborhoods after dark if you weren’t the right ethnicity, be it Italian, Portuguese, Black, etc.

I know a few black people in MA as friends and they come to visit and are afraid because of the hype they’ve been raised with in lying Massachusetts’ culture about Georgia and Tennessee.

I tell them to relax, this is the birthplace of civil rights and you’ll be more at home here than in most places in Massachusetts. Half our neighbors are minorities and we all thrive like good neighbors should. Enjoy the hospitality.
