2323388, I'm black and madder than anyone and like Boston as a city overall Posted by Orbit_Established, Sun May-04-14 08:51 AM
Its deeply flawed
But I'm the victim of police brutality/harassment several times over in New York, so I'm not with the "New York is so much more tolerant" shit
Nah
In America, white people do not like black people
That's the way it is, jack
There are *pockets* where its okay, but very few
And anywhere you have white wealth you are going to have structures in place to keep black people away, denigrate, make us feel unwelcome
Its as American as pie
Interesting thing about Boston is that it has WHITE poverty and so poor white kids get treated just like we do...it doesn't make it EASIER to be black, but it does take the race angle out of it to a degree....unlike New York City where it is ALLLLLL race
