[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GGW founder David Alpert deleted his Twitter today after firing off some apparently questionable things about the DCPS Juneteenth announcement. People saying he has been canceled.[/quote] It’s not unexpected. To be cynical enough to be a white person demagoguing on race in a majority black city indicates that there’s a lot going on. [/quote] And to be tin-eared enough to complain about schools closing when you're a absurdly wealthy White man of privilege who hasn't needed to work in more than a decade is astounding.[/quote] Once he had children he couldn't resist wading into issues that are at best peripheral to his area of expertise. His just another rich, white Ross parent totally oblivious to anything happening outside his tiny world. And, while I appreciated GGW in its early days, and David certainly subsidized it, he also profited from it to the tune of a very nice rowhouse in Dupont Circle, close ties with Jack Evans, and the list goes on. He's since left, of course, and there are a few solid folks still writing for them, but I agree with all the previous posters that it's become too much of an echo-chamber despite the fact that I'm one of those transit-loving, cycling, urban density supporting liberals. [/quote] I'm pretty sure he had the nice house before GGW started generating any money, no? [/quote] GGW doesn't generate any money and their funding has dried up in recent years. They have to have begging drives every six months or so, moreso now that Alpert and his Google riches have left the group. [/quote]
