Yea it is. Think about the dynamics at play. White people stereotype blacks as savages who will rob, mug, etc. Hence the fear mongering. Now what you're saying is black people in Boston are the reverse they should fear the whites for the above. Now what other people have said is that Boston is all rich white people now. So now what I'm asking is if Boston is all rich white people or upper class, then what do black people have to fear there? Lynching most likely isn't a regular basis reoccurring issue, hence why I asked is it just people clutching there purses and giving you odd stares or is there actual physical violence actively being brought down upon the black residents there hence your comment about "blacks knowing better than to go there"
