Silver Spring

I live in Caucasia, so you're barking up the wrong tree.

I'll be even blunter: I don't want to live near you. Period. If my presence displaces you from the street, I think it your movement away is an improvement among all dimensions.

I think of you as no better than some hill-billy racist yokel.

Fuck off, you smug yuppie. The hillbillies didn't end up in the hills because restrictive covenants and Jim Crow laws kept them from living anywhere else for decades. You ought to learn some history.

Nice ability to converse in a reasoned manner.

That black people have historically been oppressed is beyond debate. That the lingering effects, along with continued racism, plague progress also goes without saying.

But none of this should be used to justify your casual racism. You're a bigot, plain-and-simple. You don't like being called a bigot? Well then, don't speak and think like a bigot.

It only goes without saying by folks like you, because you don't like hearing it. You like it much better when we're shuttled off to Prince George's and Prince William where we are out of sight and you can prattle on about some new food truck or brewery.

Hey, even bigots have friends!

Just Uber your ass to Doi Moi, order a nice stiff drink, and keep patting yourself on the back for your "diverse, urban" lifestyle.

WHY? I am wondering what people really think, and if it is accurate.

Big lots, great schools, easy drive to everywhere, pretty houses, nice neighbors, good community.

Wait for the haters, they'll be here soon.

I see the thread first went off-track when someone took a gratuitous shot at McLean when recommending AU Park. I wonder how tough it would it have been simply to explain why that poster liked AU Park.

In case you cannot tell, I'm just trolling you now.

I think you're beneath me, not because of the color of your skin but, rather, because of the color of your heart.

Huey Newton called. He wants his political militancy back.

The juxtaposition between leaders like Mandela and MLK and the loose, ill-formed tenets underlying your philosophy is stark.

There will be no pictures of pigs shooting down
brothers in the instant replay.

There will be no pictures of Whitney Young being
run out of Harlem on a rail with a brand new process.
There will be no slow motion or still life of Roy
Wilkens strolling through Watts in a Red, Black and
Green liberation jumpsuit that he had been saving
For just the proper occasion.
