[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn’t MOCO a majority minority locale?  You obviously live in Potomac or Bethesda.  There are most definitely white “liberals” living in the wealthiest areas preaching from their sanctimonious perches about racism and equity— all the while living as far as they can from the people who need the so-called equity.

I don't think there are that many white wealthy people in Potomac who preach about equality. Not sure where you are getting that from.

As has been pointed out many times, county council is mostly made up of folks from Silver Spring/TP area, not Potomac.  Wealthy areas don't seem happy with the county council.[/quote]

Takoma Park and Silver Spring aren't wealthy? Please. [/quote]
First of all, the ^^PP only referred to Potomac and Bethesda, and secondly, it's like having whiplash.. some on here claim SS is ganglandia and now you say is not wealthy.

SS/TP has some wealthy people, but no local person would claim that area is wealthy.  You can't be local to MoCo, then.[/quote]

TP/SS are wealthy and the people who live there voted for the Council and Executive to serve them. They are rich white social justice warriors and people in Potomac and Bethesda just roll along with it.[/quote]
So, if they are wealthy, white social justice warriors, and they voted for a council who wants equity, how are those folks " preaching from sanctimonious perches"?  Seems to me they are voting for what they are preaching - equity.

I don't see your logic.

Now, Potomac IMO is a different story.  That area actually leans conservative, and although they voted blue in the last election, the margin there was much smaller than in SS/TP area.  About 40% in Potomac voted for Trump, whereas in SS/TP, about 8% did.[/quote]
