In Boston, Massachusetts, opposition to court-ordered school “busing” turns violent on the opening day of classes. School buses carrying African American children were pelted with eggs, bricks, and bottles, and police in combat gear fought to control angry white protesters besieging the schools.
U.S. District Judge Arthur Garrity ordered the busing of African American students to predominantly white schools and white students to black schools in an effort to integrate Boston’s geographically segregated public schools. In his June 1974 ruling in Morgan v. Hennigan, Garrity stated that Boston’s de facto school segregation discriminated against black children.
The beginning of forced busing on September 12 was met with massive protests, particularly in South Boston, the city’s main Irish-Catholic neighborhood. Protests continued unabated for months, and many parents, white and black, kept their children at home. In October, the National Guard was mobilized to enforce the federal desegregation order.

I grew up outside of Boston and while I get/agree with parents who do not want their kids shipped around to different schools for “social justice”(just fix the schools that need fixing)throwing rocks/bottles ect. at buses full of kids on the same level as blm/antifi protestors,these are children/not targets!
They threw rocks/bottles ect. at the legislators/city council folks/judges ect. who approved this bullshit am then all for it!
I grew up inside Boston, in a 100% white neighborhood. But in my junior HS year my parents sold the house to take a business opportunity in another state. Wanting to finish and graduate from my highly regarded Catholic HS I moved in with my grandmother in a white neighborhood in a section of the city that was in the early stages of white flight. This was 1969.
Today that area is almost 100% non white.
From 1978 to 2009 I operated a business North of Boston where I got to know my customers. Around 1990, a black dude told me he was from that same neighborhood. He didn’t know my street so I explained that you just go down (name of main St) to the bank and turn right, then it’s the next right. He’s looking at me like I’m nuts. finally says:
Ain’t no banks in the hood man
The irony in all this is that now these dumbfuck dindus want segregated college dorms. You can’t make this shit up!!!
We just don’t fucking listen:
Segregation is like marital separation.
I want a DIVORCE, i.e. they should emigrate, post haste.
