Just wait until they hear about Fiesta DC and Gay Pride Day.

Yet I, a conservative woman, spent two days at a hotel that was almost exclusively gay men. I don't remember them throwing me out. I do remember getting lots of great business tips and some great conversation!

Maybe they thought you were transgendered?

White people are not being discriminated against in America. And no one is persecuting Christians in America. Stop tilting at windmills. Or at least take your psych meds.

...yet there are some parts of this city where whites are very unwelcome and that's often made known to them verbally and physically. Or worse.


"Are you being purposefully obtuse or should I try and type very slowly to account for your limited higher order thinking? You might want to pick up a dictionary, you know, that big dusty book on your shelf that's never been opened, and look up the meaning of the terms "rooted" and "historic.". There apparently are myriad events which have historic roots. For example, do you know that Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4 for a reason? The same for Christmas, because Santa comes down your chimney early that morning. I don't have a problem with whites and Dr. Ben Carson being barred from the Zoo on Easter Monday or the Air & Space Museum to permit the commemoration of the death of Ronald McNair on January 28. It's a form of reparations."

Making the case for reparations is a non-starter for a lot of folks both black and white who've learned to move on. I wonder how DCUM and polite society would respond if someone insisted on a "whites only" event at the Zoo or Mall or even a private venue. Talk about an idiotic double standard.

No there are parts of the city WHERE WHITES THEMSELVES feel un welcomed. Big difference. So black should apologize because we were barred from attending any white house events even at Easter and created our own event, that is now a tradition in the city? Talk about white entitlement. Its beyond annoying.

Yikes--the reference to "by them" is deeply concerning.

"Deeply" concerning? What does that even mean?

It's called reality. Let me define 'them' of you. Thug black teens wilding in the streets, firing guns, and making life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy the event.

Wow you're a regular Webster's Dictionary...
Define "them" that make life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy watching a movie in a theater for me.

Well in that case, I didn't see any white people rioting after the Holmes verdict (or any other white mass killer in recent memory) or demanding his release from prison. Or his family defending him saying "my boy's a good boy! He ain't done nothin wrong!!"

Learn to face reality. Or don't be surprised when people like Donald Trump surge ahead in popularity. Or frankly, anyone else in public life who has the balls to confront inconvenient truths and unPC racial issues in this country. It all comes down to attitude and that's something that boils down to the community and individual that handouts and programs don't fix readily. I know DC has come a long way since the Barry days but that doesn't mean decent, productive people who live and work here should have to make do with daytime shootouts and a complete lack of respect for life and property.

Sincerely,

A concerned young citizen who leans liberal but has had enough of this PC/let's stick out head in the sand nonsense.

Quite the example of cogent, persuasive writing. Residents of DC concerned with crime interested in discussing root causes and the very real impact on our lives aren't doing it on DCUM and haven't deluded themselves imto thinking it's a function of attitude or handouts.

Then what are you doing here then? Attitude and personal responsibility don't matter? Is it possible to support more accountability in our criminal justice system AND be critical of the lack of leadership and accountability in the black community? Or, does one have to side with guilty white liberals living in denial and/or parrot Black Lives Matter talking points without any regard for objectivity or first hand observation?

I challenge PP to list the specific "parts" of DC where whites are supposedly unwelcome.

Well look here concerned young citizen odds are you're more likely to get your throat slashed or your brains blown out by your spouse or your fellow fair-skinned friends than by any of the dark-skinned demons you despise so much. What you think white people are innocent angels from heaven who are incapable of committing callous, cruel, and cold-blooded acts? Lol - I watch Dateline religiously and damned if every week I don't see some pale-skinned sexually repressed sociopath murdering his whole family, killing his wife for the insurance money, molesting innocent children and basically running around wreaking havoc with a complete lack of respect for life. You're right it does all come down to attitude and that privileged pretentious self-righteous infallible and entitled attitude of yours is exactly what has you so distanced from reality. You like inconvenient truths? Look in the mirror and while you're at it tell your boy Donald Trump to do the same. Hate to break it to you but y'all shit stinks too.

Yet black-on-black violence runs rampant.

Yet white-on-white violence persists all across the country - your point?

You neglected to mention that. As most liberals do.

Oh really?
Well you're starting to come across as a sexually repressed sociopath your damn self seeing how you seem to get off blaming liberals and refuse to recognize that its not one race or one class out here committing crime in this country.
Do yourself a favor - put the vaseline down and get off the web for a while.

I'm not here to debate root causes with people who don't know the first thing about DC, urban poverty or crime. No one, with the exception of Fox viewers, gives a rat's ass about BLM or their supposed talking points. I'm a progressive and have no guilt because I worked hard and earn a wealthy paycheck, so stop projecting your bizarre preconceptions and assumptions.

Oh my! A solitary, elderly AA man with a few crazy ass signs on his properunweaned you feel unwelcome? Talk about pearl clutching. Do you feel the need to roll up yourcwindows, lock your doors and not make eye contact as you drive by? Any other "parts" of DC aside from his front lawn?

properunweaned = property makes

I know a lot about DC. I just haven't heard a cogent explanation from our Mayor about how to curb atrocities like the 23 year-old man who was gunned down in Shaw in the middle of the day by a 19 year-old thug who then threatened an Uber driver at gunpoint when he tried to flee the scene. "Safety walks" and "police your neighborhood"= pathetic empty rhetoric. I have friends who were close to Matt Shlonsky and I can't tell you how devastating his loss has been. The guy was minding his own business on a busy street near a Metro stop and he had his life cut down by losers who had beef over a damn dice game.

And what's the excuse for all the "kids" on ATVs and dirtbikes who are bound to kill a pedestrian or cause a crash? I didn't grow up with a lot of money and knew better than to act like that.

And who says I'm white?

At last, a coherent and intelligent post that raises valid concerns about real issues in DC -- even though I would rank the risk to pedestrians from Maryland commuters much higher than minibikes and ATVs. Either way, you shouldn't expect to find useful answers here, but what do you want the Mayor to say? There are no quick and simple solutions.

BTW, others seem unaware that meaningful discourse isn't initiated by prattling on about leadership, accountability, liberal guilt and denial.

Only real issues presented in this post are that blacks are violent and criminal and unrepentant and they're destroying the city...oh, and I forgot there's a new one these days, they're racist too.
So I guess the solutions have to start with getting rid of blacks, right?

Yeah. Hardly. I'm quite small. They did love my dress though.

My white cousin didn't listen to me when I told her not to take the bus to Anacostia for teaching interview. She was yelled at - for blocks - 'why is there a white girl here? Let's get the white girl'. She was terrified and cabbed it back
