If you have read anything I have written you can tell that I grew up in Boston so I know what I am talking about.

Spare me the MSM comments and the denial about some of Southie's less glamorous aspects.

Lots of Bostonians don't know what they're talking about.

And I think you have more growing up to do -- until you can stop thinking about people (black, white, rich, poor, address, social status, whatever) as faceless masses and globs and start knowing them and thinking about them as individuals. I was brought up to, but that's me.
