[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t know why people are so offended about being compared to Pasadena, you should be flattered. [b]Half of Pasadena is wealthier than Severna Park.[/b] Ever heard of Gibson Island, Compass Pointe, Pinehurst Harbor? Chesapeake schools? All areas you could never afford. Stay in your rat infested townhomes in Annapolis or your $1M shoebox in Two Rivers. Chesapeake area of Pasadena also has no public housing or section 8.[/quote]

Might be true, but how about the other half of Pasadena?[/quote]

What about the part of Annapolis with public housing?[/quote]

No issue with public housing, my issue with Pasadena is that a large section of it is racist AF[/quote]

Is Annapolis not super racist and segregated? It’s the only place in the DMV where I’ve seen both white and black people are actively advocating for segregation, even those that claim to be democrats. The whole redistricting between Annapolis and South River High School brought out a lot of ugly racial tensions on both sides. The school board and politicians here actively advocate to keep these areas segregate, hostile, and racist. [/quote]

I’m not from AA County and wasn’t aware of race issues in Annapolis.  If this is true, it’s unfortunate.  I had heard many times in the past about race issues around Pasadena.  Not sure if this is still prevalent?  [/quote]

Oh yeah, big time. Anne Arundel County as a whole struggles with racism, and Annapolis is no exception. Annapolis is easily one of the most segregated areas in the DMV. White people and people of color in Annapolis don’t mix the same way oil and water don’t mix. White flight out of public schools in Annapolis was/is really bad, private school usage is the highest in Anne Arundel County, and any time anyone tries to change anything in Annapolis or in the immediate surrounding areas like Edgewater, Arnold, or Severna Park, people who might as well be affiliated with the KKK come out of the woodworks, politicians literally get death threats, and the ugliness comes out. People say Annapolis High is “diverse,” but it’s majority Hispanic and Black kids living in public housing and then 1/4 white kids who got into a magnet program. Asians and wealthier immigrant families don’t move to Annapolis because of the poor quality public schools and because there is nothing there that appeals to them. They go to Crofton, Odenton, Gambrills, or bypass AA County altogether for Howard County where they get better schools and more diversity. [/quote]
