[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is mostly a segregated city in and of itself.

And I've seen people on here hope it becomes more so. [/quote]

What do you mean?  In what context?[/quote]

I think the racial demographics of schools/areas speaks for itself.

^ that is a very clear picture of segregation.

And I've seen people on here hoping their area gentrifies (spelling?) quicker than it is. People on here are literally posting that they hope poor black people move to other areas quicker than it's happening. [/quote]

You are being disingenuous in how you describe gentrification. Most white people saying they want their neighborhood to gentrify faster aren't saying they want zero black people in their neighborhood; they're saying they want it to flip to a more diverse mix (so 50-50 rather than 90 black-10 white). If there are white people saying they want essentially zero black people in their neighborhood, then I'll agree with you that sounds really racist. Please link to those posts.

I have seen plenty of black people say they want white gentrifiers to get out; so would you accuse them of racism too? Or do your accusations only target one race?[/quote]

Not PP but poster is right. I've seen people say that on here. I'm message board dumb so don't know how to search for it but she isn't making it up. [/quote]
