Shielding yourself from it only leads to ignorance. But if you truly can't handle it, I would suggest Amherst, MA for you. There you would really see how "tolerant" those "progressives" are.


I find it absolutely hilarious how all the butt sore Hillary lovers are already getting their panties up in a wad over a man who has not even taken office yet! After living with the likes of Holder and Perez, this past 8 years we have survived the most racist administration since LBJ. It would be very tough for Trump to match that. Bannon a white supremacist??? Stay off that Daily Kos. stuff, it is hazardous to your health.

Well said.

OP and liberals: You know, something like 1 in 3 in MA voted Trump...we're EVERYWHERE, so you might as well accept it! Learn to have a little tolerance!

The poster mentioned South Natick in particular. That area is more rural, more like Sherborn.

I hate to have to close threads but if some people continue to take it off topic, what choice do I have?

Not as racist as it is for black people.

Not quite a true hate crime in my book. Read and you will find out the Lexington loon has a mental health condition and a long history with the law, including violence within their own family.

IMO there is no reason to be afraid to live in the red areas of these maps. I'm Chinese-American, and I've never ever had any problems on my road trips all over the country. And I have noticed that red areas=rural and blue=urban. And whether you are trying to live in a red or blue area, as a new member of the community, the best tactic is to be polite and considerate towards all of your neighbors. I think that the correct attitude is to first try to fit in, rather that expect or even demand to be accepted with open arms.

So in Newton, a block away from my parents house, a black couple moved into a two-family apartment last summer. And they are accepted in the neighborhood, but honestly the longtime neighbors are not happy when these people have their occasional weekend party. The street gets clogged up with their friends; cars and loud music goes long into the night. But at least, they are the only ones having these parties. For whatever reason, no one else living there just doesn't have parties like they do. And no one is blaming their race, it's just the lifestyle they have. And everyone has the right to life they way they want to. But we all have our fingers crossed that no more party people move there.

Perhaps if your primary concern is racism, you will always find it wherever you go, or be able to construct it.

Out of curiosity are they West Indian or "native" African-American? They're livening up a stuffy neighborhood.
