This is true up to a limit. There is very limited racism that supersedes class privilege when it’s about government institutions and public accommodation. Cops don’t target you. You are not treated like a thief when shopping. You are treated the same as any other client at a restaurant.

However, a lot of the social institutions are very much closed to Black people and are still very much racist. I would be curious if the Chevy Chase or Columbia Country Clubs have any Black members right now. You will notice that Obama preferred to join Woodmont and even then it was viciously opposed.

And a lot of the liberal politics is centered around denying privileges to an ascendant Black middle and upper middle class as a denial of historical white privilege/racism. Which means that UMC Black folk cannot win. Think you’ve earned that SFH on a quiet street in a low crime area? Sorry, that’s racist now. However, the real white power centers of privilege remain unchallenged. No one’s talking about fundamentally changing the character of Foxhall or Spring Valley. Just denying the affluent Black folk their pockets of success. Unless you live in Shepherd Park/Colonial Village.

Thank you for giving this person a wake-up call, people see black numbers in rich white neighborhoods over 2% and see high private school numbers of blacks and think, OMG "RAcism is OvEr" but the question is are you socially integrated with white society

It’s not just about integration into society. The white liberal power structures are actively and militantly hostile to Black success claiming the same privileges that they have enjoyed. What’s worse is that they cloak it in a banner of “racial justice”.

What I will say though is that you don’t need to move to trifling Atlanta necessarily, just to Ft. Washington or Mitchellville.

DC’s black middle class moved to PG County.

Can you blame them?

If you factor in Cost of Living

DC Metro Black Families= $94,000

DC White Families = $150,000

Atlanta Black Families = $104,000

Atlanta White Families = $154,000

Are you sure you’re factoring cost of living? Because Atlanta debutante cotillion costs alone would bankrupt most normal people.

I’d gladly save those costs and just stay in Ft. Washington and pay for piano lessons and AAU basketball.

I live in incredibly diverse area, if you consider race and nationality. If you consider economic diversity, not so much.

Days like this are when I know that the Brookings report conclusions about DCUM was totally fair.

But EotP houses that are bigger than WotP sell for less. There is racism in house prices.

Not a chance. The job market is terrible for black executives in Atlanta.
