[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say one would have had plenty of positive and negative interactions with people of all shades, creeds, races in this region.

Honest question, how can someone still have such views when the area is so diverse?

Unfortunate realization: virtually 99% of all crime in DC is committed by youngish black males. I returned here after college fully woke  and somewhat strident about it, but over the last many years, I've reached the point where I can't reconcile the progressive dogma with the realty of DC's crime statistics. And I really have no patience left for street criminals and shooters.

I don't think noticing this makes me racist, but I'm sure others disagree.[/quote]

Similar experience here. I took many hours of critical race theory and civil rights law in college, but living in DC has led me to some uncomfortable realizations. [b]There honestly are some differences between urban Black culture and the predominant culture that make it hard for the two to coexist. I’m not saying either is right or wrong, just that they’re different and they sometimes clash.[/b] [/quote]

Similar view here as well.   I[/quote]

Anyone care to elaborate on the bolded above? I suspect the answer isn't very PC.[/quote]

Here’s the difference: money. Socioeconomics. Class.

The lawyer pp who took critical race theory classes, etc. isn’t a racist. She has no bias against the black lawyers at work, the black family in her nice neighborhood, or the black kids at school.

She does, however, take issue with the low class subcultural black norm of single parents, drugs, violence, crime, etc.

Again, the distinguishing factor is socioeconomics, not race. [/quote]
