[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] People in Bethesda tend to be highly educated, and choose to live there for a reason (to live among other highly educated people). They would likely be welcoming to any new neighbor, so long as the new neighbor makes an effort to take care of their house and doesn't create a lot of noise or problems.[/quote]

Stop digging -- you're embarrassing yourself.    Telling Blacks "we'd welcome you in our neighborhood as long as you [b]take care of your house and don't create noise or problems" isn't as welcoming as you think. [/b] If you lived in a neighborhood with Black residents maybe they could explain to you. 
 
According to 2020 census data, the Black population share in Potomac (6.2%) and Chevy Chase (5.9%) is almost 50% higher than that of Bethesda (4.2%).  At some point the residents of Bethesda might stop congratulating themselves on their highly educated attitudes and wonder why that is.    [/quote]

No matter where you live, this is a basic expectation - take care of the exterior of the house and don't create problems.  We feel obliged to do this, regardless of our race.[/quote]

In our neighborhood, because of how the history has played out, the houses with poor exterior maintenance tend to be the homes of older black homeowners who can no longer keep up with it and can’t afford to outsource. So it can be a sticky issue that, like everything else, gets tied up in our ongoing racial history.[/quote]

Yes, and when my elderly white parents could no longer keep up their house they sold it and moved into a place they could afford.  Skin color has nothing to do with this, my parents were/are working lc and have been all their lives.  They scrimped and saved for every repair, every single item they own.  Are you saying I should pay for black elderly residents to improve their homes?  No one offered to help my parents with the roof they could not afford, or the painting that badly needed to be done.  And I surely couldn't afford to improve their home since I have a family and home to support.  But hey, wtf, they're not POC so who gives two f s?[/quote]

You are clearly a crazy person with a paper tiger fetish. [/quote]
