Boston Area White Women

[pettyofficerj]

what are the options for getting around in Boston if you don't feel like driving everywhere?

ummm....

RUN.

lmao...that boy crazy

My dad told me never to bring home an English guy, but never said anything about a black guy. Black people did nothing to deserve the treatment they get and you and I know that.

In terms of the Brits, I have been there and love London, but outside of it eh....

like i said..i know enough to know there's always been some bad blood between the English and the Irish. Shit, i remember listening to a Morrisey song called 'English Heart, Irish Blood,' on youtube, and reading the crazy comments written by Irishmen towards the English.

I've lived in Boston for 6 years now and West Palm Beach (where I grew up) is more openly racist then Boston. I remember when I was in school over there (west palm beach) they'd call me the n-word (I've also heard it in Boston) in class and certain white people wouldn't park next to me (also in Boston). But now that I think about it Boston is more segregated than West Palm Beach but so far I haven't seen any body with confederate flags (Doesn't offend me. Used to see it all the time in WPB) I remember living in a group home (Boston) and the people were very racist towards me.

see you should have moved further down to broward. Miami and Broward are where it is going on. You are going to have a hard time finding a confederate flag in a union state. Remember M.A. was on the side of the union and Lincoln.

I have seen Confederate flags in both New Hampshire and Vermont. Very scary, as there is no way anyone here can use the culture bullshit that people claim when they fly the disgusting rag down South.

u lot arent racist

u just cant stand the English



honestly tho..reminds me of a few movies like Irish Jam, and the WW2 one, where the blacks that went to Ireland, were treated like any other people. If Ireland does start treating blacks horribly, it would be because of American influence.

seriously, wtf did we ever do to deserve the way we get treated?

I've been to both Irelands, Scotland and a few others. I've lived in Europe. I still go back there every year. Out of all the places that I have been to, I felt at home in Ireland. Especially Northern Ireland. They were the most hospitable and friendliest out of all of them. It didn't matter where I went, from the big cities to the smaller ones, they were all nice. The only time I was reminded of my skin color was at this one club that I went to. The DJ took a break to announce to the crowd that I was there and to welcome me. While on the mic (mind you I was all the way at the back of the bar) he told one of the patrons at the front to move a little bit to the left cause he was standing on my dick.

I've never been to Boston, thought about visiting but with all the racism talk I'll just stay away. I remember around 13 years ago some chick was on the radio talking about how she felt the racial tension down here in Atlanta. She stated it wasn't like that back in Boston until a caller chimed in and told her "it's because Boston doesn't have a large black population like Atlanta".

If you want to visit the summer is when we get all the tourists and the city is more diverse. There are good places in town that are accepting and the black neighborhoods of course are fine. Nothing that is of any note is in the racist parts of Boston. Most of the tourist stuff the Common, Freedom Trail, etc are downtown. The entertainment areas are fine to go to. As is Little Italy aka the North End. Boston is also very walker friendly. The Fenway are, Copley and Cambridge are also fine.

Gotta remember, LIVING in a place and going to local places is way different than the tourist places.

that's what i told myself. If i ever went anywhere, id stick around the tourist areas then migrates a little outwards with caution. I think many places are like that in general. There is always some sort of segregation going on, and if you venture into the wrong area, you may be harassed because of it.

Like a white man strolling down North Philadelphia at 2 in the morning. That's a recipe for an ass whooping.

I spent spring break in Boston several years ago and walked away unimpressed with the city, but didn't feel unwelcome at any point.

The history of immigration and urban planning in the northeast explains much of the frustration that I've seen from men and women on the board living in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C. . . .

When those ships from Europe landed in New York during the late 19th/early 20th century and other ports on the East Coast, people were usually ensconced in neighborhoods that matched their ethnic persuasion. On the west coast we have degrees of ethnic enclavism, but nothing like you find in the northeast. When I hear the term Polish, Italian, or Irish neighborhood, I automatically think of the east. People are more determined keep it in the family over there.

The rate of "mixed" marriages almost never ticks above 5% the further east you are of the Mississippi river.

Interesting map. I wonder what percentage of those marriages in the west include a white & white hispanic partner.

They aren't close to being as racist as the Mexicans. I've been educated big time lately.

I know what you mean..

Mexicans are so racist they'd make a southern redneck blush.

If they were our friends and allies they'd be deporting them.

 

[flaminghetero]

Irish-Americans FH. I am FROM Ireland and was not raised to be racist. Have travelled back home with a former boyfriend and got zero harassment.

I'm sorry..

Irish Americans...

It's something about this society that turns people into scum.

Yeah its called the rich taking everything and making the poor fight over crumbs

 

[goodlove]

it is wild that everyone like to come here and shit on the blacks.

 

[Soulthinker]

The movie "Gangs of New York" mentioned the New York City Draft Riots of 1863 which lasted three days. The Irish-American workers turned on the Black-Americans beating and killing some.

One Irish immigrant...the SAME day he arrived in America...set fire to a Black orphanage.

Most come here ready to hate and be used by the rich.

America is the only place you can go and NOT be on the bottom once you arrive.

An untouchable from India can come to America knowing he won't be at the bottom anymore.

In a society stratified by race...that bottom rung is occupied by Black people...and everybody knows it.

Jews and Arabs don't blow each other up on US soil..because there is somebody below them.

Nationally that constituted the majority of inter-marital unions in 2008:

Interesting map. I wonder what percentage of those marriages in the west include a white & white hispanic partner.

For specific information concerning blacks:

Of the 3.8 million adults who married in 2008, 9% of whites, 16% of blacks, 26% of Hispanics and 31% of Asians married someone whose race or ethnicity was different from their own.

States and Regions: Intermarriage in the United States tilts West. About one-in-five (22%) of all newlyweds in Western states married someone of a different race or ethnicity in 2008, compared with 13% in the South and Northeast and 11% in the Midwest. All nine states with out-marriage rates of 20% or more in 2008 are situated west of the Mississippi River: Hawaii (48%); Nevada (28%); Oregon (24%); Oklahoma (23%); California (22%); New Mexico (22%); Colorado (21%); Arizona (21%); and Washington (20%).

. . .

Regional out-marriage patterns vary in other ways. For example, blacks who live in the West are three times as likely to out-marry as are blacks who live in the South and twice as likely as blacks in the Northeast or Midwest.
