That was seven years after northern liberals forced integration on the state I grew up in. We were having race riots in High School by the time Boston was burning buses. That was my introduction to liberal hypocrisy, NIMBY, and a few other essential concepts.
Integration was for poor whites living in Southie, not the leafy suburbs. Howie Long, a Southie native, (for one example) illegally attended High School in the suburban town his uncle lived in, not his hometown of Boston. To this day, white suburbs accept a handful of Boston “blackies”, to assuage their consciousnesses, and round out their football and basketball teams.
The suburbs of Boston are overwhelming white, the city and the unfashionable towns and abutting cites (Sommerville, Everett, Chelsea,...) are mostly Latino (actually Latina with anchor baby) these days.
Liberals are still champs at the NIMBY game, note that illegals were to be sent East and the people there said “oh, no we cannot possibly care for them properly here” and that is all it took for feds to back off there. When it comes to the little people in the Southwest though it is a different story, if they don’t want them in their community it is time to bring out a riot squad.
