Easily blacks fled up north during slavery and settled not nw.1. Black athletes are not representative of black people
2. That article is dated; the main point of the article (as Wilbon stated) was that some black athletes are apprehensive about Boston based on events decades ago...that doesn't mean Boston is a bad place for blacks
3. Throwing dirt on Boston doesn't prove that Seattle is better for blacks than Boston; prove that Seattle is better.
If Seattle is so good for blacks, why are they so few there?
