Boston reminds us why we should hate them...it's a racist city

The irony is that Montreal are the ones that through bananas on the ice to welcome Wayne Simmonds when they played the Flyers.

colorado sounds like it is full of assholes

Sure Boston has a history for being a racist city. Comes with the territory when the city is one the oldest in the country to coincide with the history of the US.

Love the cherry picking by the OP, hilarious.

Let's see that article about the 17,000 tweets, he forgot to quote this:

While Ève Couture, a director for Influence Communication, acknowledged that there were numerous examples of shockingly racist comments featuring the Canadiens’ defenceman, she noted that when given closer analysis, the social media reaction was not as xenophobic as it would first seem.

Although many, like the one with Subban’s face photoshopped onto a piece of feces, shared by a Twitter account with a man in blackface as a profile photo with just 30 followers, were possibly meant for a limited audience, the nature of social media saw the trend amplified as more people shared and commented on tweets.

“Many of the tweets were denouncing the racism,” she said, suggesting that context was very important.

Go to the gawker article and the article seemed to miss:

MA having a two term black governor, huge majority voting for a black president, Bill Russell's Statue in front of City Hall, athletes like David Ortiz, KG, Vince Wilfork, etc being loved here.

Then read the comments in the gawker article, the vast majority disagree with the article but the OP had to list the one comment that backed the article.

Crap. My white gf lives in Boston, I'm going to ask her if she's a racist. And those two areas that minorities shouldn't have visited many years ago(South Boston and Charlestown) have been going thru gentrification and now you have yuppies of all ethnicities living there.

Oh, remember Obama's Aunt who lived in Boston for many many years, she lived in South Boston.

Eventually, the racists will die off but until then, you're always going to have morons making racist comments. And guess, what they live everywhere. From all of the racists on this forum, I don't think any are from Boston.

well good for boston then

i retract my previous statement

 

[Blackjack200]

As if there aren't places white people are afraid to enter. When a black man is afraid of a neighborhood, the neighborhood is racist; when I white man is afraid of a neighborhood, the white man is racist!

That's not what I was laughing at.

Do you think a bunch of drunk, angry hockey fans represent the entire city? while I find those tweets disgusting, in the last presidential election Obama won Massachusetts 60.7%/ Romney 37.5% and Romney was once Governor of Mass, 2003-2007. Having been born in Boston and spent my first 22years living there I can say sadly that we are among the worst when it comes to losing in a big sports game of any kind..

 

[rh71]

These people live EVERYWHERE in our country. It's remarkably sad that it still exists today.

 

[shortylickens]

no

minnesotan ja?

YOU BETCHA!

:awe:

Perhaps I'm a camel farmer, in which case I shall farm you.

My profession is filling camel toe till it can take no more. I remember shorty, could barely fit it in.

My toe is too small?
Or I am too big to be stuffed into a toe?

...I can say sadly that we are among the worst when it comes to losing in a big sports game of any kind..

massive fair weather and pink hat fanbases since 2001, as if they won all those titles themselves. besides that, there are plenty of assholes that "forgave" bill buckner, after 2 decades of hatred and death threats. i'd put boston sports fans just behind the notorious oakland and philly douchebags.

Seriously, what the does that prove? I can think of a few things it does prove.... from someone who detests our current two-party system.

I hate Boston as well. When I went to my then gf's graduation, I went into the bathroom. In the adjacent stall was a gay guy who stood on the toilet and watched me taking a leak. He said "Hmmm, I like what I see." I said "Oh yeah?" then went into his stall and punched him in the face. He went out cold and I skipped whatever ceremony I'd come to see and returned to New York. I hate that fucking city.

Do you honestly think anyone believes any of the non-sense stories you spew?

I've heard 4 year olds in line at the grocery store tugging on their mom's shirt blather more coherent, likely more truthful stories, before being distracted by candy bars.

 

[videogames101]

how mad are you that boston is going to win the series and the cup

fuck the habs

You can blame them but also blame mainstream media who LOVE a goat, Buckner's miss-played grounder was shown all over the sporting world for ages but any real Red Sox fan knew that dude was $$ with men on base, drove in 102 RBI's, 168 hits and 18 HR's with a gimped up ankle no less, most of today's players would just go on the DL and everyone conveniently forgot that was game 6 and Clemens should have never been taken out in the 8th anyway, he was still throwing fire, had only given up 2 runs in 7 innings and had already struck out 8 batters.

 

[suse920]

Is there racism in Boston? Sure
Was this story blown out of proportion? Absolutely

Jarome Iginla is half black and scored two goals for the bruins during that game. Subban's younger brother was drafted by the bruins and plays for their minor league affiliate in providence.

Unfortunately twitter gives a small group of racist a-hole fans a global platform to spread their hate. The vast majority of Bruins fans hate Subban simply because he is an extremely talented player who happens to play for the Canadiens.

I don't see how any sports fan could truly be racist unless they limit themselves to only watching hockey.

 

[BoomerD]

meh, don't really care.

Nope...me either. Doesn't affect me in the slightest.

FWIW, there are actual racist people living all over the world. It's not just an American thing...nor a Boston thing...and a few people making racist remarks on the internet? pfft..not even a blip on the "racist radar."

my ideas did not concern the whole populace

also the fact that this happened last time with boston also influenced my musings
