Yes, because immigrants didn't experience American slavery and oppression for 400 years. They didn't experience Jim Crow, lynching, red lining, and the civil rights era. Their history is very different than Black American people.
A large amount of immigrants to Boston/New York are from the West Indies whose major difference in heritage is the crop they were forced to harvest.

Wait, are you trying to compare American slavery and post-slavery to 2022 with the West Indian Black experience in their countries? Bro...that topic would be 100 pages on here easy..
"On 1 August 1834, 750,000 slaves in the British West Indies formally became free. The apprenticeship system was unpopular among former slaves and their masters, and it was not implemented in in Trinidad: Antigua and Bermuda freed their slaves immediately."
Montreal at it again, 2 murders today after 2 shot in broad daylight, which is a very rare occurrence. That brings it up to 21 for the year and it's only August.
Citizens are rightfully pissed off and scared, and our political leaders as always doing all talk and no action.

Though keep in mind Montreal is nearly 3x the population of Boston, so its homicide rate is still quite a bit lower.
The cities north of Boston minus Lynn (e.g. Cambridge, Chelsea, Somerville, Everett, Revere, etc) are all still 0 for the year afaik. You could add them all up to get about MTL’s pop.
