[quote=Anonymous]White female here who grew up in affluent ward 3. Graduated high school mid 90s and remember the arrest etc. We did not like Barry because services were atrocious when he was mayor, at least by the mid 80s. Just dreadful. Trash pick up was random and often skipped, people who worked in government were horrifically rude, just terrible terrible stories. I very much appreciated Fenty as a result. I do remember feeling a bit uneasy about the set up. We weren't joyful about it. And I was very careful not to say anything negative about Barry around African Americans. Some of the African Americans who attended my big three were very defensive of him, citing the summer jobs program. [/quote]
