I went to St. Catherine's in Charlestown for grammar school. 100% white. Probably 99% Irish American. I went to Girls' Latin in Dorchester for high school. First time I had ever met anyone Black, Irish or Jewish. Right before bussing, there was a single Black student. He didn't live in Charlestown. The high school had a really good electrical program that accepted students throughout Boston.I remember when MLK was murdered and my neighbors were relieved that the *igger was dead and they called RFK a *igger lover, which was supposed to be the worst thing you could call a white person.Thank god I got away at least for high school. I moved to a Boston suburb 4 years later. (Eventually to Minnesota). I shudder to think what kind of a person I might have become if I had attended high school and stayed in town beyond that.

If her bullet missed everyone in the crowd, I would watch that action over and over like the I-Just-Fucking-Shot-Myself guy.

I've gone to shooting ranges, where people are pretty conscious about gun safety, still thinking no one else in the whole building besides me should be allowed within fifty feet of a gun.

Henry Louis Gates, Jr., as himself, on Watchmen. A wonderful performance. No thug.
