[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think until real estate agents stop thinking that AA neighborhoods are automatically low income, nothing will change. There are places with predom AA communities like Largo and Laurel which have a high AA middle class population, in really nice homes, but because they are AA communities, their values are much lower. Until that stigma changes, it will lead to further eradication of the black middle class in the region. [/quote] People simply value safe areas with strong schools. Due to poverty and racism, African Americans tend to be more involved in criminal activity and they either don’t value education or don’t know how to prioritize it due to structural racism. This is why white people don’t gravitate to black neighborhoods. Send me one SAFE area with strong public schools that is mostly black and I will consider moving there. There are safe and well educated black communities in other states but I’m unaware of any in dmv. [/quote]
