Is Boston racist? Poll shows city is split — along racial lines
Boston Globe ^ | June 25, 2017 | Jim O'Sullivan

Bostonians are fairly evenly divided over whether theirs is a racist town, 42 percent saying yes and 45 percent believing it is not, according to a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll. But, perhaps unsurprisingly, views vary dramatically among the races themselves.

Fifty-seven percent of those who identify as black said the city is racist, compared with 37 percent of those who call themselves white. Hispanics fell in the middle, with 44 percent believing their hometown is racist.

There is no group in the country more racist than blacks.

Of course there are some exceptions, but as a group the level of racism is high.

Race is the first thing that is on their minds no matter what the subject or issue.

Lokk at Barack Obama as an example.

In spite of his wealth, position and power he could not and still can not get past racial resentment.
It was on display in just about everything he did and said.

I think that voter ID is a state issue.

Blacks spend too much time worrying about what white people think of them.

As long as white guilt is fueling Black inferiority complexes, the Blacks are going to whine, riot, steal and burn things down; so that they can extort more things for free.

Someone would have to define racist before I could answer the question.

There’s ALWAYS gonna be a lot of whites like that brother, so they’ll stay at 12 percent, kill each other, and then rest of us will live good lives.

It’s sad, but true.

I had a black hall director in college who laughed at me, saying, "You white girls from the country don't know a thing about black folks. Let me tell you something. Black people are the most racist people you are ever going to meet." Wow, was he right!

Certainly. Most large democrat run cities in the U.S. are the same and have been for a long, long time.

Anybody name one that isn’t?...just one?

So what you are saying is that the despicable “fishwives” were Deplorable before Deplorable was cool? What mother would want her children put into a forced busing program into failing schools under a “court” order from some black-robed, leftist tyrant? You need to review your history with a more open mind.

Hispanics aren’t going R, as a group, as long as they get affirmative action goodies from the other side and with low, let’s say, educational attainment they are majority recipients of government handouts.

They are the only immigration group whereby the third generation underperforms their earlier family members in income, intact families, etc.

“I recall seeing foulmouthed fishwives throwing rocks and debris at passing school buses filled with black children, along with school buses being overturned by mobs, something that put the purportedly racist, SPLC-derided south to shame.”

That’s South Boston. Now it’s filled with Yuppies and Fags.

I think there’s more racial tension in Boston because minorities haven’t lived here in numbers nearly as long as in other parts of the country. Blacks and whites in Alabama understand each other, they get it. In Boston, their cultures do not intersect. They live apart.

I lived in Boston for 7 years, running community programs. This is by far the most racist city in the US. Hatred of blacks by whites has only worsened with the advent of (black/white) Obama. The city seeths with hatred. It is anti-American in every sense. More than any other city, Boston demonstrated the gross immorality of liberalism.

I’ve lived almost 60 years in and around Boston. I agree with those who say the city is very racist. Liberals generally do not want to mix with their “inferiors”. The racism shows itself as condescension more than anything — rarely overt contempt. But they have VERY low expectations for people with darker skin.

Bussing was immoral and a terrible thing visited upon the Close-Knit communities around Boston. They are lucky all they did was throw rocks at them.
