Town Hall (in Glover, across from Whole Foods) seems to be a popular bar for the younger, waspy crowd but they actually have great food and their brunch is DELICIOUS. Best pancakes in DC.
I mean I don't mind being around young or old.I like sports bars first & foremost ..appreciate the feedback@townhall

You really are falling for this troll? He is not a young black dude but some bored mom who wants to get responses. She knows that the spelling and grammar thing is a pet topic on DCUM and has deliberately adopted it because most DCUMers will not challenged a "young black dude's" poor command of language.
I believe this as well
Signed old black woman

Lolol ...right ! ...computer + anonymous =got some of these characters on here feeling real brave
To comment on this debate that the 2 posters who are going at it about black going threw more to get into positions of power then a white person....
From my point of view ..to be dead-honest that's the way its viewed in our communities....it was always if you wanna be real successful you gotta work your ass off (either that or kiss ass ) .nothing was handed on a silver platter. Do I think every single black person in middle class or upper class worked crazy hard to get there? No I'm sure its a few exceptions but 95% of the time you have to slave to live good being black in america..(not saying its not whites who have to/had to work just as hard I'm sure its some whites who had to work harder then some blacks in the corporate world)..again that's just me saying from how we are schooled in life

I don't even know what to say to that statement of there is no racism....to each his/her own if they really believe that
I don't see what the biggie is ?....just bluntly ask to take pics .piece of cake

Your thinking to hard my friend@"a bored mom playing troll"..I ain't a lame in real life so no need to be corny on the internet & make up fake names & try to get attention....I'm black & everything I say or ask is truth(you continuing to respond in my topics with b.s is the real "trolling")..your coming off as a lame who for whatever reason have online animosity towards me so you feel the rest of this forum should also feel that way....relax buddy
I mean as an outsider in my opinion Maryland is cool.when I first started coming to the state in early 2000's I wasn't a fan of it or the people but it slowly got on my good side.better opportunities here then in ny(affordable housing depending on where you live..etc etc).I like the suburban areas most ( Columbia in howard county...silver spring in Montgomery county).but the people being from the state I can understand if they wanted to experience something different

I'm also German and can't count the times I've been called a nazi here (I kinda count that as racism).
See im sure that can feel odd@ being only white person...when I go to areas(restaurants/sports bars)where it might be 98% whites & I might be 1 of maybe 3 Black's in there.yet still feel odd until I talk to people & see they alright (at least in public..behind closed doors they maybe calling me all types of dumb "n" ..who knows)

I have lived all over the world (currently in the Middle East) and, while it have experienced some anti-Americanism or sexism, I can't say that I have been directly affected by racism.
I don't consider myself a racist, so I was a little taken aback a few years ago when I disagreed with a friend on Facebook who believed that toddlers who say their African-American friends are "brown" are being racist.
I mean the snow comment can be taken either way .I've heard different types of nicknames for whites that wasn't derogative. Snowflake..white boy...white girl...white chocolate(specifically for whites who act naturally black....before any 1 ask what acting black is..I'm speaking on the way we speak ..dress....I've seen Hispanics in ny being called white also due to some of there complexions.so its not really an attack on Caucasians
Anonymous wrote:White male here. Moved here in late sixties in 7th grade. Didn't know anything about racism. Never heard a racial comment or epithet. First day of class was picked on and challenged to fight by a black kid. Finally agreed to meet him in parking lot after school. I showed up and what seemed like every black kid in the school. I was called racial slurs, pushed and taunted. A group of them followed me halfway home. Push turned to shove and I was beaten up. Parents called school. No action was taken. Was told by my peers I was stupid to meet a black kid after school (like this was common knowledge)
In 8th grade I had a crush on a sweet AA girl. We both liked each other. It was all innocent. Then Roots came out and she told me we couldn't be friends bc white people were slave owners.
As an adult, living in DC I occasionally encountered what I assumed were people (AA) who were mentally ill because they'd murmur or out right call me "honky" or "cracker as*".
several times walking in urban area at night with girlfriend AA men (young) would say derogatory things to my girlfriend and make similar comments towards me I.e. "What you doing with that white boy?". girlfriend would want to cross street when we wer walking alone or in urban areas when blacks were approaching on same side of street. Sometimes called chastised or called racist when we crossed to avoid being in their path (no win situation).
Worked in white collar jobs during 70s and 80s when companies went through necessary hiring changes to promote and hire minorities and women. I think many people in my generation uncertain industries lost a promotion or hiring opportunity due to affirmative action - though not an example like others directed personally at me, the result was personal for crimes committed by past generations.
During OJ trial. Was at best buy in electronics section. Every TV was tuned to verdict "not guilty" every black person in store roared and applauded. AA near me turned to me and said "we won mother f*cker". That moment more than any other thing I experienced was the single most glaring example of racial divide in American culture at that time of the unity of blacks from the playground to the workplace and national events.
Everything I learned about racism I learned from AAs.
Good story bro .real specific in details... I mean what you said about "walking threw mainly black neighborhoods at night " was what I was saying to another dude on here a few pages earlier.gentrification changed that in some hoods because you have middle class whites living amongst some poorer blacks but not every black hood is gentrified.& those are the areas where you might catch some static.specifically from the younger brothers
