Roxbury and Dorchester residents didn't like this bussing arrangement any more than Southie did. People wanted to go to school in their own neighborhoods. As far as racism goes, it was usually pretty quiet in Boston. There's always gonna be a few ignorant morons with their big mouths. Black residents, as well as Irish, Italian, Jewish, Portuguese and Chinese, have always been an integral part of our city, and we're proud of that. Don't let this moment in history give you the wrong idea about Boston. We've always played a little rough, but Boston has always been one of the most cultured cities in America.

Real talk. But every state had problems with blacks back then and nothing hasn't changed. Everyone wants to blame Trump ,Biden ,COVID for being racist. It's how you raised and also if he or she weak minded then you'll go alone with anything. Real talk
This is EXACTLY what created racial issues when I was a kid. My neighborhood was working poor , yes, Disco disfunctional, but we were all black, white mung, ex-migrant mexicans and we had no RACIAL animus , we just did our home lives differently, but we all played outside Together, UNTIL they started busing us....
@@mercoid Break eggs , make omelet. Have the poor white kids differntiate themselves from their actual neighbors by race once bussed into white collar white kid school , then the others separate themselves by race in response. Poor neighborhoods then have "RACE" issues.
You people are really delusional if you are going to deny they poor whites particularly Irish and Italian have historically behaved extremely anti black. This is because their whiteness has been questioned in America and they believed Black people were stealing their jobs.
Some of the projects are STILL segregated. A good book to read about growing up in South Boston in the 60s, 70s, and 80s is called All Souls by Michael Patrick MacDonald. I highly recommend it.
They are not still segregated. They been integrated since early mid 80s. I always had a mix of races as neighbors and friends in my building since I was a child. So that person don’t know what they’re talking about.
They’d probably lose their LIVES to a Subhuman Simian Carjacker if they were alive and “Living” in literally ANY Dimocratic Run City in the USA, with their Combat Zone Murder rates..
The guy at 12:29 saying that if they were Hungarians imposing into the Irish neighborhoods instead of Black people, that the Irish would STILL not want them going to their schools. I SERIOUSLY FUCKING DOUBT THAT!!!!
@@jimmybonez8928 thank you...I'll tell you something I went Catholic school until 11th grade so that was the 1st time I experienced being in a classroom where it wasn't all white . Literally my first exposure to another race, except for the fact that my father was a Boston Firefighter and he black and Hispanic coworkers, so seeing him having to rely on the guy behind him in a fire and not caring what color that person was in that situation was what was able to teach me that race really doesn't matter.
I remember this. This was the only problematic area of Massachusetts. I lived in a cluster of towns that made up three quarters of a million people and we didn't have any black white problems in 75.
"...they can fish where I am, they can boat where I am..." Yep sir, and you don't like it. THAT'S the problem!!! This country doesn't just belong to people who think and look like you!!! U.S. citizens, no matter what ethnic background have a right to exist in ALL spaces, whether you like it or not. Keep that funky attitude if you want to, but we are here and we are not going anywhere. It's just that simple ✌🏽.
I used to think that part of the country was different from cities in the deep south, i was surprised to find out how similar they were, kind of the same way Jackie Robinson was treated in Philadelphia when the Dodgers played the Phillies. I used to think it was different up North
Im always shocked at the shamelessness of these attitudes. Black people were US citizens long before the Irish were yet the Irish feel an absurd amount of entitlement. They started to sweat at other people interacting with their buggered kids
@@cgrr8090 interesting data since the census did not ask for any information on nationality or religion. Black people were 18% of the population on that census
@@cgrr8090 It's kind of beyond the pale to slyly consider 1790;s as fitting the definition of 'founding stock of a nation haha. It's nearly a century beyond when the founding fathers, settlers and african/blacks set foot.
The black people were not treated well..no one should deny that. Being excluded and discriminated against doesn't make anyone feel good, it doesn't work well for humanity, your communities, your country, your schools. Just being courteous makes all the difference in the world.

so many people think that most Irish are fair haired I noticed that most of them here have dark hair. My mothers family was Irish and all the girls had dark hair except for one of the girls
"We are not racist" lmfao, my brothers in Christ. 1970s Boston was 100% racist, by any standard then or now. That being said, I don't think bussing was the greatest idea. I understand what they were trying to do, but it was a ham-fisted solution.
The girl was complaining, now that there are black students there she has to watch her back and police have to be there. The police are there because of your attitude about black students, not the actual black students, genius.
bussing took poor black and white kids and put them on buses to travel across the city, to a different neighborhood, to attend an equally shitty public school🤷♂️ When there were shitty public schools in their own neighborhoods to go to. 🥲. You would think all that time, manpower and resources that was put into bussing would’ve been better spent on improving the quality of the schools in their own communities.and in general. 0One thing it did accomplish was to show poor black and brown kids that there are poor white kids across town in living just like they do 🤷♂️ I went to Southie High in the 80s and coming from a Catholic elementary school, I was shocked. White and black kids who were reading on what would be a 3rd grade catholic school level.( if that) 🤷♂️who were freshman. Just being pushed through the system. Sad for all involved

Well said I had no idea. Media and movies always made it seem like Boston was just a lot of white people bullying and outnumbering blacks
Whata think about Boston now… ? Be honest
I don't recognize it anymore. Very few who live here are actually from Boston. No one knows how it was.

Lies, South Boston Irish have exhibited racist behavior against black people way before bussing
That explains what happened. But it doesn’t explain the “why” of what happened. Do you have any insights regarding that?

No they haven't been segregated since the early 80s I was born and raised here just moved out 3 years ago at 40 years old

'They were the N's of Boston." Mike Wallace. Couldn't say that line now. He'd lose his job.
Yea back then America wasn't so sensitive to words, too many püssíes nowadays.
It was spontaneous and funny.!🤣
I love this so much but I can't watch it with that buzz saw brrrrrrrr noise. Can you fix and reupload please?
Hezakyas Back!!!!!
Boston Southie . Close knit neighborhood .
5:55 This wild how homie said Niccas that smoothly back then. Wow…They was really strong back then.
That's exactly what i was thinking! I had to play it back to make sure that's what I heard.
They said it the same way men used the word bitch and cracker. All based on oppression rape etc
They still say it in Italian new Jersey towns.....
Great footage, and was surprised to hear Jerry Goodman and Jan Hammer's 'Full Moon Boogie' on the soundtrack - banger!
Born & raised inn East Boston!!!
East Boston was the shit when JR Russo was around
damn that southie song was going off in the beginning
What's going on with the sound man brrrrrrrrrrrr
Whitey would volunteer his Saturday afternoons serving Clam Chowder at the Bus Rally.
crazy thing about him is most of the people he killed were Irish.
These people would loose there minds if they where alive today 😅😂

Not true, Charlestown and East Boston had their own issues with bussing.
Because Massachusetts was 99 percent white otherwise lol
Could you imagine these people seeing how it is now. I'm going to say it these people were 100% right.

Yes, no blacks would ever say something so offensive about white people.
They more I watch I watch this they slung the N word more. I was shocked by the narrator tho.
Also, these people are clueless.
