With all due respect you have no clue the depth of what goes on in Philly. I dont know Bosotn well but NYC does not come close in what attytoods exist in Philly. It happens at every level. If you want an education, read a little about the former Police Chief and Mayor Frank Rizzo. He used to carry around a billy club for cracking heads and keeping the blacks in line. There is a famous picture of him in a Tux at a formal event and the club can be seen peaking out from inside his jacket. The prejudices are not simply being hung onto, they are being passed on from generation to generation. When I go back to visit friends many of whom are very very successful/high profile people in that city I see it. I couldnt stand anymore and that is probably the biggest reason I left.
