[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does it matter? I think so as sometimes the root cause can only be “lived” or experienced from one who grew up in the area or environment. Perhaps I’m wrong.

With Kenyon as Mayor we would have JLG still on the council (fingers crossed) but if it’s the other way around, there would be  no JLG , Kenyon, White and possibly no Trayon.

Who is our next generation of leaders? Transplants who want to take over the city with no understanding. Granted they have been elected, but not sure they truly understand the optics.

The newest generation of Natives are no longer uniformly black. They are younger Millennials and Gen Z that are Latino, white, have immigrant parents, Desi, mixed race, etc.

It's no longer Chocolate City. It will quickly become Melting Pot City. The Council and Mayor's Office will reflect this within the next 10-15 years.[/quote]

This may come as a surprise to many here, but DC was a majority-white city for the vast majority of its existence. It's only been since the '60s until a few years ago that it was majority-black.[/quote]
