In his latest piece, GBH News Senior Investigative Reporter Phillip Martin spoke to several such individuals to gain insight into why they decided to move. He joined Jim Braude along with George “Chip” Greenidge, Founder and Director of Greatest MINDS Boston, to discuss.

As a Black woman that once lived in Atlanta and looking at Boston this is good information to know.

Nothing changes in the city I love and I left 32 years ago. Good luck to all Bostonians, I guess change is real slow back in my birth town 😥

Went to a concert at an Ampitheatre in ATL. No cops barking orders, no rushing out the venue, no show of force and no reminding you of your place.

Nice lie buddy. All of the violence in Boston is committed by blacks and I mean like 95 percent of it.

@@xcel007what this woman said is fine in theory but don’t get upset at whites for feeling the same way about themselves. If a white person says I want to live in a white neighborhood or keep my neighborhood white and successful, then that person is labeled a racist and shunned by society. It’s absurd. Humans naturally prefer their own kind and there isn’t anything wrong with that. But whites are demonized for thinking the same thing.
