what is the deal with this continuing racist behavior of whites

43. Southie was truly horrible

I knew so many people from Ireland who went there first because they'd all heard it was some marvelous Irish enclave. Most fled screaming within a month. When people try to tell me I'd escaped rednecks in Boston, I tell them about Southie.

I lived in a lot of godawful places there but I did have enough sense to avoid Southie. In 76, when they were pelting buses full of little kids with rocks, I wasn't surprised. Furious and disgusted, yes. Surprised, no.

Its well deserved reputation as a hellhole has caused a few landlords to rent to the non Scots Irish and I suppose the brave souls there with a little melanin in their skin have started to change it. I doubt they're welcome in the pubs.

So we were both there at the same time. Maybe we even snubbed each other on the street. I was the scrawny gal who walked twice as fast as everybody else did.
