Karen, The most overtly racist place I have ever lived or worked in was Boston. It was unexpected. I was living nw of Detroit when I accepted a job in Boston and had a couple of great programmers working for me that I tried to convince to come with me. One of them was black and told me, 'not only no, but hell no'. I had lived at Hanscom as a kid and had no sense of racism and vehemently disagreed with him. Surprising me further he moved to Atlanta where he said blacks were treated better there than New England. He asked me to call him after I had been in Boston for a bit and had looked around and been to a Celtics game. Afterwards I sheepishly called him and had to admit that the largest cluster of blacks in the garden were the players. I also had to admit their was only one black professional in the company I was working with (it did over 300 million in business and had over 1,000 professionals). And most of these went to Harvard, MIT, BC, NE, Dartmouth and UMass.... His comment was Liberal racism is what he sees in Boston. To liberals racism only exists in the South or inner cities. John
