Seriously just stop. This has gotten way off topic. If you don’t think Boston has an racist image that needs to be addressed you live under a rock. If you would like to see the difference..take a walk around downtown Boston - a very diverse city. Then take a walk around Manhattan, San Fran, chicago..tell me which downtowns actually feel diverse...Boston is more than dropkick Murphy’s and sweet Caroline

I’m not the one who brought up the $6 meme, friendo! Now stop trying to tug on those heartstrings and do some math for me!

As for racist image you do not address it by paying some friend or relative of yours many millions of taxpayer dollars to throw together a quick iMovie blurb sending tourists to neighborhoods where one can easily get shot for wearing a wrong hat while black.

I think Boston maybe had a racist image that some people don't want to let go of. That is sick.

Those responsible for Boston’s old racist image got broomed out several decades ago, current breed of racists lives in Roxbury and hangs out at 10 Washington St.

If you want to generate wealth forget about your parents and your grandparents unless they are truly wealthy. Marry rich.

Seems like it should be just as easy for a man these days to find a rich woman.

Let's be honest, Boston is not really in the League of NYC or Chicago. It's a quarter of NY and half Chicago MSA. And while Greater Boston and Bay-area are about the same size (population-wise) Greater Boston is 70% non-Hispanic white Bay area is 40% (NY 45, Chicago 50). It is to be expected that there are many more white than others downtown.
As soon as you leave the city of Boston most places are quite white even in the core of the metro, Quincy and Cambridge 60% white, Brookline 70%

Easily get shot? You don’t travel much clearly. Try leaving your street. The campaign is to demonstrate what and who Boston is as a city. Boston is about the freedom trail, newbury st, north end, mlk, Frederick Douglass, the dropkick Murphy’s, cask n flagon. Wallys, yo yo ma, slades, new edition, Aerosmith, Cape Verde...it’s all Boston..market it all...I suggest you try leaving your neighborhood every once and awhile

Ultimately, you have to accept some people are just racist and would rather not promote things that are not white. For obvious reasons.

The more you deny to yourself BFD and others aren't fundamentally racist... the more you drive yourself up a wall.
