Black man injured after 100 white supremacist ‘cowards’ wearing masks march through Boston

About 100 members of a White supremacy group marched through the streets of Boston wearing masks, and injured a Black man they attacked.

Police said the Black man injured was knocked to the ground and attacked by multiple White supremacists. He suffered multiple lacerations and was transported to a local hospital.

The March happened on Saturday, drawing swift condemnation from Democratic and Republican elected officials in the state.

On Saturday, a candidate running for state Attorney General called the men wearing masks “cowards” for their actions and concealing their identities.

The White supremacists who overtook the streets on Independence weekend were a sort of the same White supremacy group that tried to disrupt an LGBT pride event in Idaho last month.

Opinion: No one was arrested, and that’s problematic. They are allowed to roam the streets and stir up hate on a peaceful weekend and there were no repercussions for their actions. It’s also disheartening that no one stepped in and helped the lone Black man who had the courage to stand up to them. Boston, like much of America, has a lot of work to do.
