It doesn't matter where you are from, if you are a racist....you are a racist, and they come in all colors.
Irish people from Boston do get a bad rep about racism though, and it should be noted that Boston was the last major city in American to allow African Americans into their public schools. An East Coast City, not a Southern ir Midwestern City, pretty surprising.
But, there are racists everywhere. East Coast, Midwest, South, West Coast, Northwest, Southwest, it doesn't matter.
He can be who ever he wants to be, and maybe those were stupid tat's he had from his teenage days, and he may regret them now.
I dont mind it. We all have our things and people we don't like so i dont see why it's any different with him. Let him be he is a cool guy. I respect him.
IDK what Pepper was like back in the day but I dont think he's a racist now or in his later years. Ive seen him speak highly of alot of black people and is overall very friendly
tis is true, pepper is a little rough around the edges but hes much more ppl friendly than his brother.

I've lived here in Boston for 20 years. There used to be a lot of racists here but not in the city.
Mark Was a punk kid and was not a thug.
Whats the difference ?
massachusetts is the most highly educated and one of the most liberal states in america
and you've clearly never even been there
there are more world class colleges in the city of boston than in any other city on the planet
nobody even comes close
MIT
Harvard
tufts
BC
BU
the list goes on.
you'd be hard pressed to find a state that's less receptive to racism.
i imagine that pepper leaving drastically improved things.
again, that's perhaps the dumbest thing i've ever heard
i've lived in massachusetts for 21 years total.
the two other states i lived in (new york and california,) were far more receptive to racist attitudes.
hell, upstate/central NY makes massachusetts look like heaven in those terms.
i live in ny, and i know how racist upstate new york is. it is no suprise to me, i went to college in plattsburgh and im from nyc.
but once again, boston was a hotbed of racial tension in the 60s and 70s. u denying it doesnt make it not true, because it is.
I agree with what you said about the redsox and celtics
But don't forget the pats...there fans just as bad as the celtics fans
most pats fans were there before the good days, though.
alll we did was complain for decades, and it was because we cared
robert kraft is the best owner in all of sports
i grew to respect yankee fans when i lived in new york
by default i knew the entire yankee line up in order because of how knowledgable my yankee fan roomates were
just because ppl care about sports doesnt mean that massachusetts (boston) wasnt one of the most segregated cities on the eastern seaboard. it was, and in some ways it remains so today. i dont speak out of ignorance, i speak because i educate myself on these things.

LOL!
the only possible explanation for how you came to that conclusion is that you learned about massachusetts by reading about its sports teams
two of them do not have a sterling history of being equitable in matters of race;
the celtics and the red sox
is that what you're referring to?
which if you know ANYTHING about the city, are the pink hat sports
the red sox are for kids, women, and old people
the celtics are for straight up losers. you should see their fans

why tho? Massachusetts is quite a racist state. its true. would it have been better if they were from somewhere in the south? it may be stereotyping but theres a big basis in truth. esp in the era pepper and freddy grew up in.

Doesn't really surprise me. The Roach's did grow up in Massachusetts.
