Reply #9: Boston is probably the most racist city in the country

[theboss]

At least the most racist northern city.

Just because it sends liberals to Congress and the Senate doesn't mean it's progressive on race relations.

It fought bussing more than any city. When a judge finally ordered students to be bussed from Roxbury to South Boston, the residents pelted the bus with rocks and bottles.

More recently, the President of a rowing club in South Boston said it probably wasn't safe for black rowers to compete there.

This is the place that didn't want Boston Celtics living in certain neighborhoods (Dee Brown) or trashed their homes (Bill Russel).

The Boston Red Sox were among the last teams to sign black players.
