Here is demographic information for the village of Menands: https://data.burlingtonfreepress.com...k/160-3646536/ (its black income and poverty rate is according to 2019 5 year census information is similar to the national black figures for that period)

Comment on the name in bold:

John O'Bryant got elected to the Boston School Committee in 1979, becoming the city school board's first Black member.

He pulled off this feat in part because a lot of white voters in Irish-American neighborhoods voted for him based on his surname.

Philadelphia has a large black population, but Boston and New York have a larger black intelligentsia and more of a middle class culture. I voted for NYC even though I'm from Boston and live here now. My mother is black and got her master's degree in Boston. There is a great black intellectual culture centered around the universities here, but generally speaking it seems like blacks feel more comfortable in NYC culture than Boston culture. Boston may be a bit too reserved and provincial, I suppose. New York as a state and the NY area in general also have a larger black population than Massachusetts as a state and the Boston area, although the city populations are both about 1/4 black. The black population of Philadelphia seems poorer and less educated generally speaking. There's a lot of crime and gang culture there.

Boston Globe endorsed a black woman, Andrea Campbell, for mayor:

https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/09/...ns-next-mayor/

For sure she is more qualified than Mayor Janey but with them doing this it's unlikely either of them wins, it will most likely be Michelle Wu.
