River Street in Mattapan. Every one knew what it meant. On one side of the street you had the Belle nels, on the other side of the street the Red hats. You didn't walk up that street if you were white. Even if you were black you had to pay to walk up the side walk. But if you were white you just got mugged and maybe worse. There is a reason the name of Mattapan was changed by the locals to Murderpan. If the local police saw you walking up that street while white you'd get hauled in for being a trouble maker. Up the end of River Street there was a paper mill, one of the oldest in the country I worked there for many years.
Fortunately River street like most streets had two entrances and we learned very quickly that if you wanted to get to work without the trouble you just came in from the other side, the side that didn't see skin color. Oddly the entire area was 80% black but it was only the city side, the side toward Blue Hills that you had to worry about. If you were white, you were absolutely not going to walk through there and it didn't matter if you had a police escort. It would just start a riot. For years that was the rule until eventually the Old Jamaican gangs gave way to the next wave of rap music fueled urban bangers who had a different agenda and started to roam away from the neigborhood in search of bigger and better adventures.
To my knowldege for the ten plus years that the Walking While White rule applied to that end of River street in Mattapan, no one ever made an issue of it, no plitician ever bothered to complain about it, and no White supremacy groups ever made a big deal about it ...it was just accepted for what it was. Bald faced racial hatred that was driven by skin color...plain and simple.
To be fair, South Boston is excatly the Opposite even to this day. If you are a black person walking around Southie at night time.....well you're probably going to get your ass kicked and maybe worse than that. There are black people that live there but they know the rules and they know how to live with them. I don't defend it but I do say that there is more, much more to the phrase Walling While Black that never gets mentioned by the race pimps that love to take center stage and bang the tin cup for federal money.
So let's be real here. Given the urban demographics of inner cities like New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Boston, Newark, Los Angeles...... and without even having to do the research ( probably well scrubbed by now ) to pull up the numbers....wouldn't you say that there are a lot more areas in this country that you wouldn't dare venture into ' Walking while white " then there are the other kind..." Walking while Black "......
But you see there's no money on one of those venues while the other one produces massive amounts of Federal funds, endless sob stories to perpetuate the myth that racism is a one way street in this nation with the backdrop of slavery that in minds of some Black Leaders has never gone away and never even been diminished ( in point of fact they are correct, the democrats operate the plantations of today via EBT and Welfare ) .
Look here's a light skinned black person now making that point!
