Whites are abandoning Massachusetts cities at a rapid clip, continuing well-worn paths to the suburbs or out of state, according to new demographic data from the US census.
...The migration of whites out of communities has also left many public school districts in cities made up overwhelmingly of minority students. In Lawrence, just 6 percent of this year’s public school students are white. In Chelsea just 8 percent are, according to state Department of Education figures.
...The trend was strongest in lower-income communities plagued by violent crime and struggling schools. Yet wealthier communities like Beverly, Gloucester, Melrose, and Salem also saw declines, as did wealthy ones like Newton.

I am leaning to the space alien side myself. Valerie Jarret is a strange looking person.
OK, I think I found the right forum for this. I am U.S. military in Bahrain. I just sent my wife and four children back to the U.S. I tried to call L’Auberge hotel in Lake Charles, LA to get a reservation for them because my wife is from that area and I want a safe place for them to stay. I kept getting black people in reservations and they could not comprehend my situation. They had no idea where or what Bahrain was (or the Middle East for that matter) and would not give me a reservation for more than two days. In addition, they would not let me talk with a manager. I am very frustrated and do not want to sound racist, but there really is a difference between races.

If pushed very hard I will refer to my racial background as Caucasian, and then point out that "Caucasian" includes everyone from Iceland to India...
Somebody watched “In Living Color.”
Perhaps a FReeper from the Lake Charles area will go to the L’Auberge and explain it to them by hand...
“Somebody watched “In Living Color.”
Not me! Was it any good?
I don't live in Massachusetts but I do live in a rural county in which the only faces I see are white, no blacks, no browns. I've owned my house for 40 years and sometimes--for weeks--I'm not there and nothing in my house or premises has been as much as disturbed in those 40 years. Coincidence? I don't think so.
On a similar note, apparently the “KEN Barbie Doll” is now considered too white and they’re replacing him.
Max, you corporation lover, how ya been! :)
Completely agree! “Do as I say, not as I do.”
We both must be fuzzy on the math because I get the same result that you do.
That must have been a sweet, sweet experience.
I envy you.
As sweet as that was - I’ll just add two more words - Texas Women!!!
Me too...
Ain’t that the truth!
Well, your right on that score. Politicans in the family can cause you to open a vein especially if they are democrats. Then you open 2 veins. :O)
You animal!!! :)
Have you lost your “Bahhhstin” accent? Did you discover the letter ‘R’?
Thank you for your service. I sympathize with your plight, but be thankful it was a black person instead of an ILLEGAL.
The fast food joints hire them, and they can screw up an order for iced tea - and regularly do ! They have what seems to be a cultural characteristic - they talk way to fast (while mangling the words) and DON’T LISTEN.
I drive 4 miles out of my way at lunch so I can deal with a black person or a Chinese person.
