[quote=Anonymous]We are stereotypical gentrifiers in our DC neighborhood (Petworth). White, educated, young kid, etc. I love our neighborhood, including the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity, and try to be friendly, generous neighbors and haven't gotten (at least to our face) any of the gentrification backlash that you hear about. I'd like to get a Black Lives Matter sign for our front yard, but my husband thinks it is insensitive and inappropriate since we're not black. I think exactly the opposite and that line of thinking perpetuates the perception (and realit)y that white people don't care about black issues. (Yes, I know a yard sign isn't enough and we are also as politically active as possible with careers and a toddler.) What say you, DCUM? I'd love to hear what others think. Should we get the sign?[/quote]
