[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These threads are so amusing. DC is a crime-ridden tent city and people here are like b-b-b-b-ut crime isn't really up! Happy to read and laugh from a nice, leafy suburb where carjackings and shootings are not part of my morning digest anymore. [/quote]

Remember, the HOA meeting is at Applebees this week![/quote]

Lol we don't have an HOA or an Applebees. Just multimillion dollar homes without gun violence. [/quote]

And black people probably. Just admit they scare you and that's why you left DC to be around white people.

DP. You have made an explicit stereotype of Black people as violent criminals. This is an astonishingly racist statement which is par for the course in DCUM.

DP...  "Black people" is a definite stereotype, and is racist.  The overwhelming majority of blacks are decent, kind, law abiding people.  But there is a specific and narrow subset of young, low income males that has been committing a hugely disproportionate share of the violent crime in DC.  It's fine to push back hard on the broad stereotypes, and in fact, we all should be doing that.  But I also don't think we should be tiptoeing around that much narrower subset that is committing violent crime.[/quote]
