Boston Mayor Michelle Wu responded to Gov. Maura Healey’s potential plan to use the Melnea A. Cass Recreational Complex in Roxbury as an overflow shelter site for migrants. Wu said she is working closely with the state to find solutions amid the ongoing migrant crisis, but expressed some frustration around the idea of using the Cass complex.
“For the first community where this is being proposed to be Roxbury, a community that over so many decades has faced disinvestment, redlining, disproportionate outcomes, it’s very painful,” Wu said during an appearance on WBUR’s “Radio Boston” Monday morning.
Amid historic levels of migrations, the emergency shelter system in Massachusetts has been under stress for months. Healey declared a state of emergency last year, and instituted a 7,500-family cap on the system. For months she has been pressuring federal officials and lawmakers to give Massachusetts more funding to deal with the crisis and make it easier for migrants to obtain work permits.
But the flow of migrants into the state shows no signs of slowing. More than 600 families were on a waitlist for emergency shelter as of Friday, and dozens of families have been forced to sleep at Logan Airport.
When I arrived at MIT in 1979, Roxbury was a Black neighborhood. This history describes what a hater might call a population replacement:
By the early 1970s, a combination of declining property values in Roxbury and rising values in the South End and discriminatory home lending practices had conspired to push Boston’s black community into Roxbury. As Latinos moved into Boston in greater numbers in the 1970s and ’80s, Roxbury became more heterogeneous. In 1990, the neighborhood was 79 percent African American, 14 percent Latino and 3 percent white.
[in 2019], Roxbury is 53 percent black, 28 percent Latino and 12 percent white.
It seems that there is no room for migrants in Weston, Wellesley, Dover, Concord (a sanctuary city), Lincoln, Newton (a sanctuary city), or other nearly-all-white towns with 1-2-acre zoning minimums. Maybe Newton doesn’t make sense because the teachers are on strike and migrants are entitled to a U.S. taxpayer-funded education (teacher strikes are illegal in Massachusetts, but 98 percent of the Newton teachers voted to break the law; apparently, they can’t be fired from their union job even when they violate the law).

Replacement theory:
They aren’t replacing WHITES….
I think this would be a wonderful opportunity to pause for a moment and give thanks for the many great contributions of the black community and their culture to our society.
Their peaceful and generous nature makes them ideal neighbors, lending testimony to their exceptional family values and parenting skills unrivaled by any other culture.
Their commitment to academic excellence enriches our schools and serves as an example to all who hope to achieve prominence as a people.
Real estate values are fueled by the influx of African Americans into an area due to their caring and respectful nurturing of these communities, as an example of all they have achieved by their enthusiasm for self-improvement through hard work and a self-reliant can-do nature.
African American international reputation for self restraint, boundless patience and superior non-violent conflict resolution skills is legendary across the globe.
Without their industrious and creative drive, we would be poorer as a nation.

In 1919, Roxbury was 100% German and Jewish.
Wikipedia – “…Roxbury was one of the first towns founded in the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630, and became a city in 1846 before being annexed to Boston on January 5, 1868…Many German immigrants also immigrated to the US in the early 1900s, quite possibly to escape the effects of the first World War. German immigrants also settled in the Mission Hill area (at that time part of Roxbury) and were instrumental in developing the many breweries that prospered along the Stony Brook until prohibition. In the early 20th century, a Jewish community was also established. Responding to the need for increased municipal services, the citizens of Roxbury voted to incorporate as a city in 1846, and later to become annexed to Boston in 1868. During the 1940s and 1950s, a major migration from the south to the northern cities led Roxbury towards becoming the center of the African American community in Boston. They were joined by immigrants from the Caribbean, especially Jamaica and Barbados and after World War II by southern blacks migrating north.”
“Maskachusetts dumping migrants into a Black neighborhood”
My Fl city is doing the same thing, though not with migrants (immigrants?), but rather with vagrants. After several months of study, a local “Homelessness Task Force” comprised of several churches and other non-profits settled on a temporary housing solutions for vagrants. When the overnight temperature is forecast to drop below 40 degrees, the City will open up one rec center, that just so happens to be in the part of town that is 100% populated by blacks. Prior to the task force, a couple of the tax-exempt churches performed this service. They’ve now successfully off-loaded the job to the City.
“Empowering Communities, Changing Lives”
Is the slogan of Democrats and Liberals. Clearly, by dumping illegal migrant in Roxbury serves this slogan.
Go ahead Mayor Wu, and destroy the residents, community and lives of the people of Roxbury to give the illusion of helping illegal migrant.
Btw, if one Roxbury legal resident breaks the law, s/he will be punished, but *illegal* migrant are welcome.
You all are incredebly jerks. Imaagrants like me are the future of this cuntry, which was founded by invaders and coloneezers just like me! Get wit the program and start appresiating us. And, i need a bigger stipend and a newer ifone!
