Nice Planet 14: You People Make Me Sick

Would there be any penalty in picking up the trips, and going with the rumor of 1.5 time?

No, no penalty.

I'd imagine a lot of the pick ups were people simply picking up the trips they were originally awarded. They just now get time and a half.

Gotcha. Thanks. I know union rules get tricky sometimes.

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

Interesting series. And to say I'm shocked, SHOCKED would be lying.

Impressive, even for the Thumpers.

More impressed with the alternate choices she wants!

Do as I say, not as I ...

First time I realized they had/have a problem is when I heard Jim Rice was disparaged (for his race) by home team fans. How can anyone not like Jim Rice.

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.

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.
