You are confusing indavidgule biases and sociatial bias on a whole. You are confusing the way it morally should be and the way it is. The question isn't how should people look at Bowie, the question is how do people look at Bowie?

Yes MoCo is starting to be judged by it's increasingly minority majority, have you not seen the snark coming out of fairfax and Arlington. Yes MoCo is experiencing a form of white flight which is partially responsible to the explosion of prices in other places. [b]As to people hating on PG and pulling up bull shit statistics that are out of context or just down right lies, so what? It is just them trying to put into words what nobody can say. The majority of people have no intrest of moving to a majority black area and never have in the entire history of the country. We are simply not there yet. [/b]And if you use DC as an example the few little inner pockets of PG that are reversing that trend it would be glossing over the reality that it is happening by using economic pressure which installs a faith that the areas will turn whiter because of low general black wealth. Bowie is the opposite with it's high level of black wealth which means it's black majority isn't going anywhere. I have never met a gentrifier that didn't give me a status of their newly beloved areas's "improvement" within 30sec of being told where they live. What do we think improvement means.  Number of new residents vs old. How are hippsters going to push out people who have more money then them?

Places turn white when a richer demographic deems it desirable and starts buying it up, the likelyhood of richer white people targeting Bowie from an already affluent black population is low. Until then it will continue to be pragmatic and open minded people here and there until race relations improve and it can be judged on it's own merits.[/quote]

So what?  If you're going to be racist, then own your bigotry.  Stop those trying to hide their bigotry behind BS statistics and taking situations out of context trying to hide their stereotypic behavior.  We should all object to those who want to mask their bigotry.  I would prefer people saying that they choose not to live in a majority minority county than trying to paint the county with false or misleading accusations.  Labeling a county that is 90% low crime as high crime because 10% of the county is high crime is disingenuous.

And it's hypocritical.  The majority of those who object to living in PG County and try to use false and misleading information to cover their own bigotry are Montgomery County democrats who pride themselves for being so egalitarian to the black minority in Montgomery County.  As long as they are the majority, they are magnanimous to the minority.  But they would never subject themselves to being the minority themselves.  As a non-black resident of PG County for nearly 25 years, I prefer the most honest attitudes that I get in PG county to the disingenous ones I've encountered in Montgomery County.
