Its been discussed multiple times ITT and youre pretending it didnt happen. Its fucking stupid. 1. never pretended it didnt happen. I pointed out Hunter made those comments almost 20 years ago 2. I said if your biggest point of evidence to Bostons racism is its idiots racist sports fans, then that's pretty low on the racism ladder in comparison to other major cities --- nothing is a greater tell of an awful human than using "social justice warrior" as a pejorative. without exception.- Bomani Jones <cite>BeantownHero posted [p:940527267] in The Red So...

Confederate flags on state building? Cops Killing unarmed black people?"
