So, Boston mistreated and disrespected a guy who brought the city 11 championships? That's some serious bullshyt they got going on in that city.
YEAH. THOSE DEMONIC BRED MFs, DAMN SURE DID.
A Celtics fan took a dump in Bill Russell's bed once.
That's a trash ass city if they can't even appreciate Bill Russel
Exactly.
Shit son. It was just one or two assholes. Most of us Celtics fans like y’all or try to tolerate you anyway and be civil. Crybabies
I would hate my life if I sat around all day and thought about hating any other person just because the color of the skin. So simple mind and sad
Sounds exhausting
Exhausting and Disturbing but it exist
@FullyFocused 11 it’s programmed into all colors .. I’ve meet just as many people of color that are racists as any other color .. I would say if u watched the media the last 15 years you would think it’s only whites
@@dayra6425 What's your thoughts on white people playing the victim now. Can't go to a UA-cam comment section without hearing about the "media" hiding the truth about black criminality despite the news particularly CBS broadcasting every black criminal in NYC daily. Or how white people get called racist(usually while being racist) then have a meltdown claiming they're being attacked for being white. Like the comments Joe Rogan made last week. It feels like to me white people are now claiming to be the biggest oppressed people in America. Is it true that when you've been dominate for so long and in power for so long that having actual equality and a level playing field feels like oppression?
@@elijaharvinger8711 I think white are learning how much dividends playing the victim has paid for black people ..
Everytime they talk about racist sports cities I always hear Utah and Boston 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣 utah just made headlines again....... ja morant family
Yeah I'll hear boston the most when it comes to racist.
Funny...Utah was trash for 12 years after the 90s and nobody cared about the fans when the team sucked. All of a sudden they good again and now we wanna act like this is a major problem
@@freddygaulman5493 Na man, nobody just covered it back in the day cuz it was normal.
Yep!
No matter how many ppl, and I mean, countless number of ppl that says Boston is racist, there's gonna be that person that will defend it's racism no matter what
Danny Ainge
@The Unknown says the guy who’s never been to Boston
how many black pple are racist as fuck? most of them!
@@chloethackerYou have that mistaken with being prejudice. Pick a book up lil guy.
@@larrygrecko921 I live in roxbury and I can tell you boston is very racist. Sad truth. Black ppl in my community are from perfect, but we do not harass or single out the white ppl who live their. The same cannot be said about the white neighborhood.
Mark "Marky Mark" Wahlberg is from Boston and he was a full blown racist in his younger years. How he went on to become a rapper in the 90's is one of the world's great wonders.
Facts and he's always gonna be looked at as a racist to me no matter what
It's called "change".
Yep, one of his victims declined his attempt to reconcile very recently I heard. The Asian man he had hurt decades ago

@@getithowyoulive2. Oh I forgot. Only us blacks can be absolutely perfect🙄.
Hearing these stories of how a huge, rich, famous black athlete on the home team is treated, can you imagine how much abuse is directed toward a typical black citizen in this region? I was born in Boston and the only reason many poor Italian and Irish people have any self worth at all is by being taught that some people aren't people.
This is it right here! Theyre minds are so tribal they cant do high level civilization with anyone else
Nah. Not aren’t people. Not “aren’t people.” /
Kyrie was right but people don't like him so they criticize him.
He stomped on the logo and a fan throw an empty water bottle at him. Was it racist that he stomped on Boston’s logo? Or was it just racist that somebody throw an empty water bottle?
I'm glad he stomped on their logo.
@@LouieOcean2 you’re comparing a damn logo to a person lmao , how about you think why he stepped on it for a second …. Them Boston fans say wild shit (mostly racist ) all game to players and most likely happened during the series
@@yup1992 I’m not saying the throwing the bottle was right it was completely wrong that guys an asshole but it was retaliation for kyrie disrespect not out of racism
@@yup1992 there was a cause and effect it wasn’t just random because he was black
Danny ainge talking about how he’s never heard a player complain about racism I’m Boston is an absolute joke
Yeah he lyin
White protecting white
@TonyG that same dude u talkin about openly said that boston is racist😂
@TonyG why don't you look at how they treated Bill Russsll. He HATES the city of Boston because of the racist shit they did to him despite the 11 titles. You sound ignorant
@TonyG Kyrie wasn’t talking about the organization. He was talking about the fans and how the speak towards black players. Look at what Marcus smart had to say he agreed that it’s hard to play in Boston at times because of the comments fans say towards black players on the opposite team. Stay in school kid don’t get caught up in the woke culture.
I went to college in Maine in the early 1990s. I heard stories how up until the very late 1980s rap music was banned from being played on the radio after 6pm in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. If you were driving from Maine to New York, you knew you were almost home when hip hop songs started popping up on your car radio.
Liar
@@billjames1556 can you prove he's a liar?
We're waiting... 🤔
Stop playing ?
@@Mr._Moderate who are "we"? Sounds ominus.......
@@Mr._Moderate And let me tell you this (I'm late 40s), I remember when radio stations like K-Rock or Z-100 in NYC would brag about being 100% No Rap Music/No Hip Hop in the mid 1980s. Lots of radio stations put that in their marketing campaigns! Its funny how people have completely forgotten this history!! White media (radio stations, tv news programs, rock/country music DJs) hated Hip Hop culture in the 1980s. And these SAME radio stations now play Hip Hop music 24/7 because it brings in MONEY. Hell, you can't find any stations that play Heavy Metal anymore! When are we going to talk about THAT?!?!
This was in the 80's. Not even 40 years ago.
This is unfortunate. I am a die hard Celtics fan. Chuck cooper was the first black NBA player he played for Boston. The first all black starting lineup in the NBA 1964 - Celtics. Its a disgrace that racist fans attended any game anywhere or anytime
Boston didn't fully integrate school's until 1989, that's how insane those people are.
Easy..
Can you blame them? Who wants their daughters accosted daily by thugs?
But racism does not exist?!
@TCT Yea, I don't think it happened that way. You need to watch the boston bussing crisis.
@TCT Yea I don't see any black people throwing rocks at little kids and yelling racial slurs. Are you ok in the head or did your family brainwash you into believing that delusion???
Y’all know Glad got an encyclopedia of content for any situation. Shit is kinda scary

Mark wahlberg is from Boston. Makes sense
Boston has been this way for decades!!! Yet, the textbook response from someone from Boston is: “It’s racism everywhere!” Like it’s really okay to be that way as long as it exists in other places?! WTF?!
Are they far worse then in Houston ?
@@lexkanyima2195 I have friends that live in Houston. It’s not even a comparison!!!
@@thecatlingfamily367 how can you be so sure ?
@@lexkanyima2195 From what I understand Houston is a much more diverse city with a higher minority presence than Boston
@@ALsn-xz9ix and that means less racism? Let’s not split hairs here. It’s arguing how far the knife is in your back.
Kyrie wasn’t lying and John Staley ain’t lying that celtics fans will intentionally do something to a player it’s a movie called Celtic Pride
This isn’t new news.... people talk about the Boston Red Sox fans being racist all the time n have been for years.
@@debothegod3277 exactly, Boston is a racist city
Kyrie is a Drama Queen of the Highest Order but he’s No dummy ... Kyrie doesn’t like to be boo’D he knew dam well that playing the Race card would put the Boston Fans in the awkward position that if the boo’D him they would look Racist. One the hand Ya gotta Respect his chess move but one the other it’s a bitch move .

I have no desire to live or visit Boston. . My heart goes out to the minority's that have to live there
I live here and tbh it blown out of proportion and it depends on where you stay, but I can say there is racism same as in every state, but these whites here just don’t be giving af
I tell people as a black man living in the United States in the year 2021, there are only a few places in this country where I would even think of living, NYC, Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, certain lager cities in New Mexico. The rest of this country you can keep, not going there!
I won't defend racism but Boston has some things going for it.
- Abolitionism had its first stronghold in Boston
-Phyllis Wheatley wrote most of her poetry in Boston
-Frederick Douglass came to Boston after gaining his freedom and began his career here
-The 54th Regiment was from Boston
-Boston had the first thriving Black medical community in the US and the first black woman MD in the US earned her degree in Boston
- MLK and Malcolm X studied here
- The Celtics were the first NBA team to draft and start a Black player; they were the first NBA team to start 5 Black players; and Boston was the first team to have a Black coach
-the Boston Bruins had the first Black player in the NHL
- Boston has a Black woman as Mayor, an Asian woman as President of the City Council, a Black man as Police Chief, and a Latina woman as Superintendent of Schools.
So before you cast Boston as the most racist place in the US, look around you at your own city.
@@PedroMartinez-tt7lr thank you.
Most people don't know the intricacies of Boston as most people's recollection of Boston comes from decades ago. As a minority who lives in Boston and always lived in black/brown communities, it's safe to say that you'll be fine as a black/brown people. It's amazing how powerful media can be on one's perception from the outside looking in.
Not even gonna front glad has a flashback for everything 🤣😂
😂🤣It sure seems that way. He has a hoard of flashbacks.

Been a proud Celtic fan since 86. I can't defend the racism in Boston, tho.
Being a proud Celtic fan, knowing it's a racist city is an oxymoron.

Imagine giving your blood, sweat, and tears for an organization, win 11 chips for them, and in between all of that, you're called an N word and other stuff on a daily basis, then a disgruntled fan who roots for the team that you play for drops a deuce in the middle of your bed. Then you're told after experiencing all of that BS, that it's all in your head by people who would never have to experience that kind of treatment.
No hell no
When I was 12 yrs old an old man (89) that I loved, told me stay out of Boston, NJ or the South and any place where everyone has a weapon, except you...🤔
He's right. They appeased germany, downplayed what was going on, and even ignored it to some extent. And then acted as if they were shocked when they discovered what was really going on. Much like today, people find ways to excuse or downplay bigotry so they can sleep at night.
It's happening right in front of all of! The most diverse country in the history of planet Earth and some people promote America as racist! Hard to friggin believe!
Who is they? What a bizarre interpretation of history.
@@Konoronn Go look up how American outlets talked about the Germans leading up to the war. The NYT loved him, American businessmen loved their government policies on union busting, Hitler doesnt get as far as he did without the complicity of the West.
It’s too bad how divided we really are, and, will likely continue for the foreseeable future. Maybe one day, we will be one.
Nope.

Is there anything Vlad doesn’t have a flashback for at this point?
till this day, that's still Boston. even the Irish in Ireland aren't as racist.
Nor do they like American Boston Irish either
@Gurey Thats right!!!
You’re right. Ireland is very welcoming .
That I can believe, I'm a Male nurse and one of my patients was an old Irish woman in a nursing home in upstate new York and she was the nicest woman you'd ever met, after she passed away, her eldest son came from Ireland and not only wanted me to attend the funeral with the rest of his family but he offered me an opportunity to come to Ireland and open up a pub selling BBQ because myself and my brother owned a rib joint in Rochester, these comments let's me know that Bostonians are a different breed.
@Gurey Exactly.
4:28 I bet this Irish girl's dad is regretting that decision today! Lol!
those Boston fans ran Baseball player Bill Buckner out of Boston. and Buckner was a white boy. now, what do you think they would have done, and said... if Buckner was a Black Man who made that error in the 1986 WS.
@The Unknown if not for that error, Buckner was on his way to the Baseball HOF. he was my favorite Cub when he played here in Chicago. 1977-1984
Right through his legs😥
John Salley is true biz. I really enjoy his commentary.
He was great on the best damn sports show
Agreed!
Just to clarify, Paul Pierce was stabbed by a black man.
3 black men

@@awakenedmane6410 LMAO!
@@brandonrobinson4526 Hitler wasn't the focal point of that movie. It was about the passion of the Jews, and the horrors they experienced and the resilience of the human spirit, which prevails through impossible challenges, and the decency, unshakable humanity and compassion of a man who put everything on the line to remain true to his conscience, his heart, and in so doing, demonstrated acts which exemplifies the very best of the human spirit during a period when all around him his peers were succumbing to their absolute worst inclinations. If you thought the movie was about Hitler, then you missed the point. I'm just saying your statement is unfounded and doesn't equate to anything within the context of that debate.
Lived in Boston my whole life. You could feel it mostly on the perimeter outside of Boston. They wouldn't tell you but their body language did. It felt like I was invading their territory.
Exactly. Boston is all immigrants and diverse college students. If anything it's the hill towns in Western MA that are bad and it's because they're literally just wannabe southern confederate flag flying losers lol. Lived in MA almost my entire life and Boston is really not that bad compared to even CT, RI, NY... In NYC people call each other racist slurs in casual conversations
That's how I see it too. Have lived here for a few years and you quickly learn where you can and cannot be around.

I resided in the Boston area for ~3 years. Candidly, it's an okay place to VISIT. Most folks don't really fully comprehend the way the Mass. area communities are STILL segregated & the racial undercurrent until they've actually lived there for a while...
Yes, very true. I've lived here isolated in a white community the majority of my life and have never known anyone. I wonder why? They are far worse than any southern state. The mental angusih they partake throughout these white New England communtites and the way they marginalize people is the real threat to mankind. The Commonwealth is no good for mental health. They pit good blacks against each other, they isolate people of color in their communtites. The likes of these Democrats in this state is the real threat to mankind not Trumpism.

I don’t remember any riots in the early 1980’s. The 1970’s with the Bussing yes, 80’s don’t remember. Anyone know what Salley is referring to?
I thought the same thing but if you listen to what he says at the end he is talking about Canarsie where he grew up in Brooklyn. They had riots in Canarsie when they bussed blacks into all white schools. The parents attacked the school busses and had picket lines outside of the schools.
@@christophed8429 why ?
@@christophed8429 Thanks Christophe, I wasn't aware of the situation in Canarsie.
It happened in Sheepshead Bay in the 80's as well. It was insane! My friends in school were my friends in school, but when school was over and we had to get on the bus to go home, it was hell. Even the Principal of our school (who was white) was jumped..it was crazy.
@@christophed8429 you learn something new everyday. I didn't know that happened in Canarsie, but the only convenient history lesson we ever learn is about the bussing riots in Boston in the 70's.

I was born and raised in Boston and I wouldn't change any of my experiences good, bad or indifferent. Although I live in Maryland now, but I still own a home in "Da Bean" and visit regularly. I came of age in the 70-80's and experienced racism (subtle & overt) via White folks and classism via bougie Negros. The men in my family especially my dear old dad, role modeled strength, accomplishment and cultural pride. They were fearless an thus so became I, "iron sharpens iron." Boston has one of this nations most profound and notable historical firsts for Black folk by way of esteemed accomplishments. Those accomplishments are from every walk of life and are too numerous to mention (do your research).
When, where, and how I grew up, anyone could catch hands. My kids have never had a fist fight in their lives, I threw hands from elementary school into undergrad :-). I knew and witnessed the exploits of real tough guys and some where Black and some were White.
"Boston Strong!"
some place has to be "the most racist place" and it just happens to be Boston. Just like someone has to be the dumbest in the room.
One time, 2 crazy celtic fans threatened to kidnap Salley when the pistons came in their town just so they didn't win a game 💯
Tk with the rare statement that doesn’t have to do with him advising someone lol
Isn’t that movie
John Salley you're the man bro. I hate that this shit happens in this world.
I’m just gonna throw out there that the reason why us fans in Boston do not like Kyrie Irving has nothing to do with his fucking race, it has everything to do with the fact that he played a horrible when he was with us and stomped on our logo. Why does everything have to become a fucking race thing when has nothing to do with it more then likely.
That's got nothing to do with Boston fans being racist. Real or perceived, that's the legacy. Philadelphia and Oakland fans have always been hateful as hell to other teams, but it's never been about race.
He probably played horrible because of the racism he had to deal with. What goes on off the court affects how you play. He seems to be playing just fine in Brooklyn.
I always get a bad vibe when I have to travel to that city...it’s just off. Now I know why
To this day Alot of people WONT ADMIT HOW RACIST BOSTON WAS. You walk through SOUTH BOSTON THATS IT !!!!!!
Didn't Gina Carano basically say all this?
Bad example.. she’s as racist as they come

sounds like the Irish in my hometown of Chicago "if you are not white and visit Chicago, do not go to Bridgeport Area"
So how racist Boston is, which is what I imagined lol
I'm from Boston and this is very true I've experienced racism in my city a lot especially since my family is Haitian. But overall Boston is very diverse just be careful where you go
But why did you live then ?
So sad this narrative is still being pushed
Is it still like that in Boston today?
Remember Yawkee and the Red Sox didn't want Willie Mays playing on their team after a try out. Ted Williams didn't tip his cap to the fans anymore. Those people up there traded Babe Ruth. Something's wrong with those people up there.
You're not very bright

You're talking about a time when tube TVs required an antenna to watch games days after they were played.
Ngl I stopped paying attention to the Sox after they traded Mookie Betts. Not saying it was racially motivated at all but WTF? Im all set
Yo go ask Pk Subban about the Boston Bruins fans
Lebron was right saying that Boston was racist as fuck
as a young black kid watching the celtics-lakers early 80's, i could not help but notice that there were sometimes 5 white guys on the court for boston and 5 black guys on the floor for l.a. That l.a had diane keaton and jack nicholson in the audience and the people looked "cool" & everyone in boston looked like the racist white family who lived down the street from me. it was all very tribal back in the day.
He's telling the truth
3:00 Salley (translated): "Boston was so racist that there was, for example, a restaurant that intentionally served me an overstuffed chicken or pork dinner, because they knew a. I'd be helpless to resist eating the whole thing, b. having overeaten, my level of play would suffer the next day, and c. I'd get arthritis twenty or thirty years later because of eating this way."
i thought you were joking LMAO
Click bait at its finest he didn't say shit and referenced Paul pierce who got stabbed by hood dudes this was a joke 😒
It is very true. And the way they treat other teams is disgusting considering. Booing throwing things. They don’t do that to hockey teams
Yea but it was a black dude who stabbed paul pierce, so I dont know why he brought that up........
Now we know why Lebron delivered down 2-3 in Boston
LeBron just spoke on this. You have to have Salley back!
The sad thing is they will get mad now that they've been called out on it.

Jemele Hill was talking about the racial makeup of the Celtics team at the time in that clip and their position vs the Lakers. Find a more appropriate clip to make a point. This sounds more like ‘we didn’t like the Celtics cause they had white players
Yeah that clip seemed like a reach in addition to the click bait of this video.
But look at most of all those Boston Celtics team of the 60
She never said that though;she just didn’t like the Celtics cause they were the pistons rivals.Yea there was a racial dynamic to it but you’re acting like the Celtics had an all white staring 5.Two of their starters were black and they had many black bench players.Also Laimneer wasn’t the only white pistons starter.
Crazy how so many blacks don't know how racist certain northern cities are smh
Exactly. They try to blame it all on the south when blacks in the South live much better with whites than people think. The white people down there when I went to school had to sing the negro national anthem right alongside of us and this was in the 80s. Moving to the Northeast / New England I've experienced so much racism not only from police but from employees, coworkers and just regular everyday people
@@dewayneperry8395 live much better with whites lol??? Why does that matter??
Damn JB Smoove got old asl
I always think about Bad Boys when I see John Salley
This is all very misguided for lack of a better word. Racism is everywhere. I lived in NY for 26 yrs and experienced plenty of it. As a latino I experienced it from whites and blacks. I worked in a black community where the lighter blacks would treat darker black coworkers like crap and let me not even mention how they treated Africans. Kyrie talks about Boston but go check how many black people do you see in the crowds at MSG, Yankee stadium etc? Brooklyn and Manhattan are THE perfect example of gentrification. Go check harlem out. Yet Kyrie plays there, the dude is a hypocrite. The point is, dont throw dirt on a city and organization. The Celtics organization is class act and racism is found EVERYWHERE. It is all a matter of feeling superior one way or another. It is unfortunate, sad, can cause terrible traumas and change is needed. Just do not pin point a city that based on statistics, it is not even one of the top most racist states in the nation. Actually, NY ranks worst in their inequality. Even California is super racist. I understand that people can have different experiences. I speak of my own AND the facts.
@Mr Shooter angry much? dont recall saying that "it makes it right" It is clearly stated on my response. The problem here is that when people have a national forum and they use it to trash a city or people it is not proper either. If Kyrie or whoever wants to talk about racism, do as Jaylen Brown said. Be more objective and go to the real problems that may help ease racial divides.
@Mr Shooter in addition, using your own term. It sounds dumb when you dont read carefully and then make a dumb statement. I clearly mentioned the effects on the victims of racism. I endured it so I know. I also mentioned that CHANGE is needed. So....yeah.
@Mr Shooter I wonder what is going on with READING COMPREHENSION. I CLEARLY stated that HE (Kyrie) is being irresponsible for calling city racist or that there is a lot of racism in Boston. I based my objection on FACTS and my experience. I never said that my experience is more valid that his. Also, be a little more mature and dont bring politics into this. In addition, you dont know how old I am so your point has ZERO weight. Furthermore, racism is EVERYWHERE and in EVERY COUNTRY. States like NY, CAL, FL, NJ, VA, IL, etc all have a lot of racism so pointing out a city with the intent of damaging its image because he is a passive aggressive dude is childish. Just as an example. Kendrik Perkins won a championship in Boston, was there for at least 7 yrs (dont remember) he said he never experienced racism in Boston. I'm not saying and never said that there is none. But it is a city that doesnt need to be nationally targeted as a racist city because NOT EVERY minority experiences it. At least not directly.
@Mr Shooter also, if u understand what a stereotype is, that is EXACTLY my problem with his comments. He is stereotyping. He couldve said "I experienced racism in several places but I know those are isolated incidents. I have received a lot of love as well" which is a fact. Boston embraced him. There are idiots and ignorants everywhere so he shouldnt come out and call Boston racist. People hear that and will say "damn, Boston is a racist city" which IS A STEREOTYPE
@Mr Shooter I agree with you and I am sorry for you experienced as a person of color. I just think that Mr. Irving made those comments as other incendiary comments as a way to make people look at Boston through that lens. It may sound obvious that there is racism everywhere but, I emphasize the point because he is now playing in Brooklyn NY which is the mother of gentrification. Black communities and the poor have been removed to pave the way for the high class and upper middle class people which I'm sure I do not need to tell you what color most of them are. What has happened to Harlem, to the upper west and east side of Manhattan. He didnt want it to be about basketball. It was in NY where Young got spit. There are many stories of nba players experiencing racism all over the place. Indiana, Houston, NY, Ohio, etc. I understand that these things should be brought to light. ABSOLUTELY.!! I just dont trust Kyrie's intentions. Why wait until gm 3 to say that? It was not his first trip to Boston. Actually, he couldve said it long ago when we left. As Jaylen Brown said , yes there is racism in Boston, but this is beyond basketball. Jaylen Brown and Tatum are taking the issue where it matters and use the correct forums. It is NOT in a pregame interview. There are many ways to tackle the issue without damning many who arent racist. Again, I'm not dismissing his experience nor those of other players. I salute you.
Paul Pierce being stabbed was a piss poor example. We are talking about racism.
People are so quick to forget

Facts in certain parts of Brooklyn was very racist I went to xavierian high school in bay ridge in the early 90s and there was a handful of blacks in my school that got abused verbally and physically, only reason I survived I was on the basketball team
Classic story is that dude who got killed in Howard Beach
Really ? Why there is no real life story to tell ?
@@lexkanyima2195 what are you talking about yusef hawkins?
@@je9212 yes
I didn't know that. It's amazing that the more I learn about Philadelphia and New York, the more it reminds me of what Boston went through. But I believe that because sports has a large spotlight on it, Boston gets more of the flack for being racist then other Northeast cities.
So how were they racist ? Because they disrespected opposing fouls? I'm.sure they did that to all the team not just the black players
Well this has been a topic since the 70s and will always be, a shame that people are that way but this is America let's get along people.,🙏
