-I was watching yesterday on WGBH_ on a `documentary about black poor
-kids from London playing “Romeo and Juliet”`_. It was really deep
-experience for me. I was quite surprised by the fact that black kids
-(mostly guys, but of course Juliet and her friend were ladies) could
-play Shakespeare and that issues which are hard to understand for me,
-are very same (and much more understandable) for them. Suddenly I saw
-how much I am still in the grips of seeing folks from Roxbury,
-Dorchester, and Mattapan as *different from us normal people* and how
-much I see them primarily as potential criminals.
-
-It seems to me that actually this could be one of the most important
-issues of whole Boston Miracle—how “them, making trouble” became “us,
-needing help”. And then how all the petty issues of money etc. were just
-less important tools empowering a long-term process of this change, not
-direct tools to decrease crime.
-
-And of course, I see no way how to prove this. On the other hand it
-shows how much more than just bloody news (literally, news about blood)
-I need stories describing normal life in the Black community of Boston.
-Which unfortunately makes my news articles reports totally unmanageable,
-because I would need much more than what I already have. :-(
