Neighborhood of Boston. Over 80% of the population is black. 12.2% are hispanic. Less than 5% are white. 22.3% of the population lives in poverty. Referred to as "
Murderpan", due to the number of murders that have occured since all the Jews moved out, and all
the blacks moved in. A handful get murdered here each year. But the 1980s there was like a new one every few days. If only
Boston's founders could see what this area has become, now that would be funny.
Bitch: Are we in Mattapan at this hour of the night?
Me:
Roll up the windows and lock the doors. Don't look anybody in the eye! They think we're
the white devil. They will cuss us out or even
carjack us so lets drive fast.
