Why would it affect the reputation of racism at all? Paul Pierce wasn’t stabbed by white supremacists.

This is the same as with the Jaylen Brown article. Pierce isn’t talking about racism here.

Okay so these were black people lmao. Everyone know this’d it’s was the made men/rap/wiseguyz

Also Doc Rivers had his house burned to the ground for marrying a white woman. Never mentioned again.

Lakers fan spray painted N word on LeBrons garage. Pay Beverly just spoke in Lakers fans himself…no one’s gonna link it to racism.

Dallas fans just booed Kyrie and he’s been there a week. In fact he gets booed everywhere. But Boston fans are delusional and ran him out of there… https://www.outkick.com/kyrie-irving...lotte-hornets/

It’s the knee jerk reaction that’s absolutely crazy lol.

It’s like when Jay Williams said Ime Udoka was the Celtics first black coach when IRL they’ve hired more black coaches than any team in NBA and probably pro sports history..

This is why I like Philly. Their egos dont consume their personalities.

Lol NYC bias to Boston just cropped up again in their recent tourism campaign.

For a city where people keep claiming they never think about Boston, they sure talk a lot about Boston: https://www.universalhub.com/2023/ci...ey-never-think

You may have heard about New York City's failed attempt to upgrade the I HEART NY slogan (which was meant to be for the whole state, yes, even the parts north of the Bronx) to WE HEART NYC. They've coupled that with some Boston dissing:

Point taken, but the headline was written in a way that kinda alluded to it being fans. People see that and assume 'there goes Boston fans being racist again'.

the article posted on Twitter and the comments were what you'd expect to be with that type of headline and Boston. Probably why it was left vague.... Boston + Black Athlete + Fans = clicks, views and traffic.

Click traffic.

Had absolutely nothing to do with white people or fans.

I saw the same reaction when a civil rights activist was stabbed in a park in Roxbury a few months ago.

Main suspect was black but Twitter said it must’ve been a white supremacist because it happened in Boston.

For context here’s Jaylen Brown and said civil rights activist at his gala in Boston: https://twitter.com/nbc10boston/stat...1WVkdq1xOdfo2g

My take- Bostonian people are LOUD. Including people with less-than-palatable world views.

I knew a "Mass H*le" who was nice to me but in other interactions in his lifetime, he earned a lot of hatred.

Point blank when there's a racist around, better you know sooner than later.

As a kid I remember talk about how racist Boston was after a case in the 80's where a white couple were shot. The wife and their unborn child sadly didn't survive. The husband claimed a black man did it when in fact it was he who did it and later committed suicide. A lot of black men were needlessly harassed. I know several people who are minorities (black and hispanic) that say Boston is no worse than any other large city and that they haven't had any problems. I'll be heading up there for a meet and greet next year so I'll find out for myself what the city is like.

I made a post not so bad the other day and they removed it because of "negativity." and yet they let this go?

Just went to Detroit. Never going back.

Really strikes me how in depressed areas/cities the things people consider "great" or "fantastic" seem very mediocre and average.

Like....Downtown Detroit was very average, and the Riverwalk was thoroughly mediocre- yet the people are so excited about it and have a glimmer in their eyes. It really makes you wonder what it was like"15 years ago" if this is the cats meow...... Their average neighborhood was just depressing. But the whole place is so struggling you can see how Downtown and Corktown may be a little "revitalized" only because so much of the decay is still glaringly obvious. All the folks I work with from Boston were like ????

It was a huge adjustment going from Chicago to Detroit. Everything changed on a 55-minute flght.
