These types of comments are what causes distrust of gentrifying whites. My parent was an accountant for a ton of blackowned businesses that opened after the riots. Contrary to your thinking many of the businesses at the time of the riots, excluding U Street, were not black-owned. When the Koreans came in they brought with them their community financing method rather than borrow from banks to finance the businesses as most of the black owned businesses had done. Once they got one business in a neighborhood, they would charge less than cost for a can of soda or a bag of chips which they could afford to do because they did not employ anyone from the neighborhood or have a bank loan for their business. They bankrupted these businesses one by one and would have a Korean friend/family member buy the business at a reduced cost because it was becoming known that you would not be able to compete without the commuity financing method that they used in addition to other tactics. Once they owned the businesses they then jacked back up the costs of the items and still continued not to employ the community residents. They generally did not pay sales tax to DC either because they did not ring up the sales. They would use lack of language skills with the regulators which black-owned businesses could not use. The few black owners that were able to hold-out eventually sold their businesses because the crime went up towards the businesses due to the lack of community employment. The community for the most part does not rob a business when a couple of their childhood friend's jobs are on the line. They were the ones that were generally cleaning up and stocking the stores.

Wow.

So, the horrible horrible Koreans have been oppressing the poor blacks for decades.

PP, truly you have no shame.

Why should PP be ashamed for explaining how many Korean immigrants financed small businesses? The post is interesting.

Why? It's biased, racist, and likely wrong.

"They generally did not pay sales tax to DC either because they did not ring up the sales."

Really?

There was a rash of robberies, with several thugs jumping out of a car to mug someone in a quiet WOTP residential neighborhood, or in another case coming up on a porch to rob friends who were gathered there. Something drastic needs to be done.

Indeed. The Post could help by publishing accurate information about the perps. When the mainstream media cowers away from listing the race of suspects I just assume they aren't white.and they wonder why no one reads newspapers anyone. From the article's comments section:

"Not once but twice this article described the color of the tool used by the criminal but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the criminal's wardrobe but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the telephone the criminal stole but not the color of the criminal. They described the color of the cups the victims were drinking from but not the color of the criminal.

I wonder why they do that."

I would think the reason why the Post didn't go into details about the race/color of the suspects in this particular article is because it is a recap of the events not in-depth accounts of the crimes themselves.
The article is about the continued rash of brazen crimes in what is usually a placid part of the District. If you want details about those specific robberies and the suspects involved try this link also from the Post.

In it this article clearly states that in the robbery reported about 1:30 a.m. in the 3700 block of Harrison Street NW police were told that at least one of the robbers wore a ski mask. It also clearly states that in the second robbery which was in the 4100 block of Albemarle Street NW, which is near Wisconsin Avenue and the Tenleytown Metro station, police were told that the robbers wore black bandannas, presumably over their faces.

I know you're eager and anxious to expose some prejudicial conspiracy by the Post to deliberately leave out important facts about the race/color of perps to appease the PC police but you might want to look refrain from relying on anything commenters say as fact. Do your own inquiries/investigations and come to your own conclusions don't piggyback on the perception of others.

Other sources have perp descriptions. PP acts like the perps were in hazmat suits with shaded googles-no flesh showing. WP could have done a full description.

Links?

How nice of the "community" to refrain from robbing sometimes.

heres the latest

Police are searching for suspects after an armed gang of 8 to 10 teens tried to rob a resident who was walking along a street in northwest D.C.

The attack happened around 8:50 p.m. Sunday in the 4400 block of Davenport Street.

The suspects, who are believed to be males between the ages of 14 and 18-years-old, were wearing ski-masks and hoodies and were armed with knives when they approached the resident, police say.

Metro Transit police are trying to find the group of teenagers police say assaulted another teen and a Maryland couple aboard a train, taking electronics and the teen’s shoes.

One of the victims was a 43-year-old man who was left with injuries to his back and ribs, and the mark of a footprint on his face. The man, who suffered a stroke more than a decade ago, has disabilities.

The men were trying to help a child being beaten by the group. They were also called a racial slut, I hope they prosecute these horrible children with a hate crime.

Are we posting info about every violent crime inDC or just those few where there happens to be a victim who is white?

Race of the victim is negligible. Race of the perpetrator is what matters to those who want to legitimize their fear/hatred of minorities.

Two women's in their 60s outran a group of eight teenagers with masks and hoodies a couple of blocks from Georgetown Day? Sure.
