So. This is disgusting. But also not terribly surprising.

There's some history to this guys refrain of "not my neighborhood" that I'm going to thread about a bit, because it's important to know and it's rearing its head in new and ugly ways lately. Boston is a very diverse city. It's also a very segregated one. The roots of that are tied into the second wave of the Great Migration. Lots of northern cities saw a large influx of black Americans relocating from the south, trying to escape Jim Crow oppression after WWI & II.
