Patriots with a massive, massive faux-pas on twitter

[rahji]

I have only set foot in Boston once in my life and it was on a connection flight to the UK. What a black dude at a bar in the airport told me about Boston was all i needed to know. See highlighted part below of when i told the story back in July of last year

Black people can't sit next to white folks in Boston? At the airport?

Child please, that's complete and utter nonsense.

That's mighty generous of that stranger... hope he pointed you in the direction of the colored water fountains and restrooms as well.

"I didn't play for Boston, I played for the Celtics and Red Auerbach.
Boston is a flea market of racism. It had all varieties, old and new, and in their most virulent form. The city had corrupt, city hall-crony racists, brick-throwing, send-’em-back-to-Africa racists, and in the university areas phony radical-chic racists... Other than that, I liked the city."
- Bill Russell

Dude won 11 NBA titles but Boston folks didn't care. They actually hated him since he was very active in the Civil Rights Movement. Fans broke into his house, put racist graffiti on the walls and defecated on his bed... They wanted him out of their neighborhood.
shyt was so bad, he didn't even show up when they retired his jersey and also when he was inducted into the Hall of Fame.
In 1999, the Boston Globe did a citywide poll on who was the greatest athlete of the 20th century in Boston... Ted Williams won in a landslide despite bringing zero championship to the city

Breh... at first I was thinking that it was a sign of the times. But then I decided to do a little research and I started reading this article. I'm reading this shyt and I stopped dead at "However, in my opinion the most interesting statue in Boston is the one in Park Square that commemorates the Emancipation Proclamation. The statue features Abraham Lincoln extending his hand over a crouched Negro slave, who is shirtless, shackled, and has a zombie-like gaze" and realized you're right.

Word? Damn I need to go to the mirror and face
Does it make it that much weirder that white supremacists are calling out Boston as a questionable ass city?

 

[R.E.N. Spells Ren]

WHy? YOu feel im passing judgnement on your beloved city without knowing anything about it? Dont you mofos do that every damn day about other cities and countries?

I made it a point to state how long i was there instead of just saying "ive been to Boston blah blah blah" so people would have the full story so spare me you perpetuating bullshyt

Always funny to my how black people will come to the defense of their turf no matter how racist against them said turf can be

My beloved city?

nikka, stfu. You're perpetuating bullshyt, and I'm gonna call you on it every single time.

I know it was a while ago but I can't forget those images of white people throwing rocks at school buses full of terrified black kids.
Boston has always been racist as fukk (especially the South side) but it took the busing controversy to blow it wide open. Their reputation as liberal, tolerant city ended right there.
People had no problem that the Red Sox were the last team to integrate (1959) or sign a black free agent (1993)

They'd criticize any award given to a nonwhite person

My beloved city?

YEp. You are 'ing for Boston

"I didn't play for Boston, I played for the Celtics and Red Auerbach.

This is what people need to understand when it comes to their alliances and teams they cheer on. fukk them turf wars and pledging allegiance to states and cities. Boston doesnt cut you a check. I understand you can be from somewhere and love it. But some mofos be out defending cities and states tooth and nail despite then the truth is staring them in the face.

 

[BlackStarLine]

I hope this sh!t was a fake

Yo @vbamz and @SuperCoolP_Cal . Come defend your boys on this one.

I can't. shyt like this makes the franchise look bad.

 

[Black Magisterialness]

fukk Boston with a burning dikk.

to be fair tho, we are talking about a top 5 offensive player of all time(possibly the greatest hitter of all time) in a city that was always twice as passionate about baseball than any other sport, esp before they won in '04. Add that to the fact Pedro was on fire in 99 and the All Star game was in Boston in 99, its very easy to see why he won, in a landslide...

as far as the city being racist, I really cant say too much as in the 10 years I lived there, I never witnessed it first hand. I have just heard the storys like everyone else.

Grew up in Boston my entire life. Got friends of all races, nationalities, walks of life, not one of em is racist. Maybe in the 70s and 80s, but I don't get that vibe from anyone I have crossed paths with in the city of Boston.

That being said, I am a Jets fan, so to see the Pats take this kind of L is
Fukk that racist Patriots organization brehs!
