Cambridge Can't Cope With Its Own Racism

You're kidding!?

"In Cambridge, concerns that diversity is now just a word; Meetings, forums aim to break down barriers for blacks, Hispanics" by Meghan E. Irons, Globe Staff | February 10, 2010

CAMBRIDGE - Across this city - which stood apart while racial strife roiled Boston in the ’70s and long held itself up as a model of diversity and tolerance - residents shaken by the national uproar over the arrest of a black scholar nearly seven months ago are confronting what some say is a hard truth: Cambridge has slipped on race. And from barber shop gatherings to neighborhood meetings and government forums, people are searching for ways to restore the city to its ideal....

“.... people don’t expect this from Cambridge. They say we are the People’s Republic of Cambridge. We tout diversity. But we don’t live it.’’

It's called hypocrisy.

“As a white person, I’m embarrassed by racism....’’

I'm not because I don't practice it and view EVERY SINGLE PERSON as a UNIQUE INDIVIDUAL and BIOLOGICAL ENTITY that DESERVES RESPECT!!

Some people never learn.
