Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

Do as I say, not as I ...

That's actually New York.

New York is a city of liberals who won't live near black people because they're scary and they drop home values.

Boston is a city of about 50% liberals who come from other places and are completely fine, and about 50% redneck f-ckwits who are local. They have Boston accents but otherwise follow the same Mississippi script: racist, sexist, stupid, uneducated, violent, insanely proud of themselves.

There's no hope for ever getting rid of racism in New York City -- the next people who move in will replicate it for economic purposes. But in Boston you could annihilate racism instantly by just towing the entire locally-born white working class to the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and then bombing it from the air.

Or you could just overturn a glass jar on top of Southie and suck all the oxygen out.

The most racist city in America. If you've ever lived there it won't take you a second to guess.

Interestingly, I've always had this perception that Boston is the whitest major city in America, despite all the Colombian and Asian food I've had there. In actuality, it barely cracks the Top 20.

Portland, Seattle, Colorado Springs, Nashville, Oklahoma City, San Francisco - all substantially whiter.

Perhaps it is fairer to say that Boston is the most racist towards blacks?

Nice quote-and frightening

The median net worth for non-immigrant African-American households in the Greater Boston region is $8, according to “The Color of Wealth in Boston.”

Why would percentage have anything to do with racism? Birmingham, AL was probably a majority black city in the 1960s.

Boston (and Providence, the Boston mini-me) is particularly striking because unless you know you don't expect it. If you're in Florida or Texas you assume the locals are going to be racist f-ckwits, but in Boston it's a big surprise that the mouth breathers are so aggressively moronic.

From my experience in Colorado Springs it's probably a really good thing that blacks are scarce. The megachurch capital has great potential to be virulently racist.

The only time I've run into a bit of the "angry white Bostonian" stereotype, I was staying at a Hilton Garden Inn in Eastie a couple miles from Logan that was across the road from a neighborhood of single family homes. There was one house, just a bit down from the hotel (I could see it at an angle from my room's window), that had one of the biggest "Trump/Pence 2016" campaign signs I've ever seen right out front, setup on stilts - you couldn't miss it. I later walked past it on my way to get Vietnamese food.

FWIW, I've also talked to natives of Masshole-istan (your term, not mine) who don't have the accent, and insist that only natives from certain neighborhoods/towns have it.

The Springs might be whiter than Duluth MN. This includes the Indian population in Duluth.

You clearly haven't been to the Springs lately, at least not south of Briargate. While it's still predominantly white, there are more and more minorities living further north in the city. Previously, there was a bit of a line at Platte Avenue and other than the central part of the city, there weren't a lot of minorities living north of that. Now, that line is about five miles north at Garden of the Gods/Austin Bluffs (don't get me started on the streets here).

I wouldn't be surprised if the area encompassing Circle/Las Vegas on the West, Hancock on the south, Airport to the north and Powers to the East is over 50% minorities. It's just that the rest of the city (everything west of I-25 and north of GoG) is super white. Not surprisingly, that's where you'll find the Mega Churches.

It's been a couple years, so yeah, probably changed.

The streets here are fantastic, nothing like one street that has 4 different names. Or streets that run east-west, until they run north-south, and then maybe switch to east-west again.

I chuckled at this. In MN, 494 runs N/S and E/W.

And 35W and 35E run N/S, never E/W.

My favorite is a particular interchage in Anoka, MN. Commonly known as Highway 10 and Ferry St. On the east side of the interchange is a combined highway that contains US 10 (which is east/west) and MN 47 (which is north/south) The southern side is Ferry Street and also US 169. (both north/south) The north side is still Ferry Street but now also MN 47. West of the interchange is US 10 (east/west) and US 169. (north/south)

Another fun one is Hennepin County 24/Rockford Road/Hennepin County 9/42nd Ave/Lake Drive/45th Ave.

That Anoka interchange can go straight to hell. I hate that whole area with a passion.

Where is that last one?

Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

It runs through Plymouth, New Hope, Robbinsdale for sure. To make things even MORE fun, just a couple blocks away is Old Rockford Road.

Where is that last one?

Stretches from Loretto to North MPLS.

Edit: A bit closer to Maple Plain than Loretto.

Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

Before they fixed it the 169, 81 and Brookdale Blvd intersection was a hoot.

[edit] Holy s**t. I've been away so long now I am not 100% those are the 3 that cross each other at the spot to which I refer.

 

[Handyman]

Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

As far as I know they dont cross each other but I do know where you are talking about. 169 and 36th was no fun either...

Re: Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

85th Ave not Brookdale.
