      Always quick to defend the white woman. She shouldn’t start anything and then hide her hands. It’s not Boston’s job to protect fragile white ego.

      That’s not the USVI FLAG it’s a MAP of the Virgin Islands. Every time she plays in those shoes she will make a mark on the Virgin Islands with pride! Stop hating and show support!
