I'm a white dude with a lot of white friends and out of other races I have more black friends than anything. As a white guy I think you get a pretty good idea about who is racist and over time you will tend to hear some screwed up stuff when it's an all white group of friends acquaintances as opposed to a racially mixed group. People are pretty damn good about not saying that stuff in mixed company.
I've heard it from blue collar guys but some of the most racist vile things I've heard are from highly educated guys who make a ton of money, Wall Street types. When they feel they are in the company of their own you hear some messed up stuff. Most of the things I've heard are in the presence of alcohol where people's true colors come out.
Glad you admit that it's at best a within-class issue, not some specific Bostonian racial issue.
Sucks, doesn't it
I think he's mid 30's but I agree he's a part of the terrible new school of rap. It's sad that all the best rappers now are still the guys we listened to in the mid 90's and they are all approaching their mid 40's.
Pretty sure Ern's around the same age as me, I love being this age. My 20's were fun but at that age you really don't know s__t.Sucks, doesn't it
Cute how the guy who uses two anecdotes regarding trash he's met from s__tty parts of a city is implying I don't know what I'm talking about.
And would you say the city as a whole is more white or blue collar? Where do you need to go to find these racist blue collars (is it at any old bar in the city proper, or do you need to strap on a vest and find it deep in C-town)?
I was making a general statement about people not knowing much at a young age. I thought I knew a lot but with life experiences comes knowledge. I have way more experiences now than I did in my early 20's. Anyways, what does my two stories about Boston people have to do with knowing s__t and having life experiences? I also don't consider South Boston a sh___ty place.
And you've lived in Boston from 22 to what age, having lived where, and what has all that experience taught you?
Okay so you concede Boston is on as an upward trajectory as is the rest of the country, rendering your entire original point invalid
And in which post was I proclaiming "I've figured it out"?
That was exactly my original point and then you got offended that I told stories about some of my racist experiences with people from Boston and you twisted my words and claimed I said everyone in Boston is racist, I naturally attract trash, I watch Matt Damon movies and some other cr@p. . . . . . . . . . . I'm not conceding anything, my whole original point is that Boston has gotten better about race as has the rest of the country. When Patrick Ewing was the best schoolboy basketball player Boston had ever seen, people were throwing bananas and making monkey noises at him When Bill Russell was winning championships for the city of Boston racists were decorating the interior of his house with feces. Yes, things have gotten better. . . . . . . . . . .My only advice to you would be to grow up. Here is the first thing in the thread I said about Boston and race- "I've met some really racist people from Boston but I have to imagine the whole Boston is a racist town stuff is more a relic of the past."
