Marion's "Chocolate" City is melting away...Good.
Lol right there will be no more black people in DC cause they’re all poor.![]()
Agreed. Although demographics here may reflect wealth demographics, it is certainly not a race issue. Poor people of any race of similar socio-economic background if placed in such a wealth divided area would cause similar problems.
Ever been to any city in SE Asia? The land of extreme wealth divides? I call BS on this statement because despite the extreme poverty prevalent in these nations, the crime rates are nowhere near as high as they are in what you'll find in our inner cities. This is a cultural problem specific to Black Americans.
Ahhh the beauty of an opinion...it’s all yours.
I’ll pass got my own, thank you.
NP. I live in in NOVA. We don't lock our doors. We're happy to be boring here, and safe.
I understand why people would prefer a more exciting life, but I don't. I'd rather be safe than exciting, and my neighbors agree.

+1. DC would rarely be described as "exciting" by most big cities anyways. However it is more exciting than NOVA.
But MD really? LOL! If you think Bethesda living is "living on the edge" then good for you. I guess some will consider PG county exciting. I mean who does't enjoy 24/7 crime and police lights.

Not all AA's. Please-before you all deprecate our citizens-AA's in urban areas- tackle the issue of open defecation and peeing in other countries and cultures.
some have toilets and still drop the pants.

Maryland and DC (until recently) do not.
Other states with large cities and diverse populations, such as Texas, Georgia and Florida have similar demographics as the DC area, but less of the type of robbery crime that is typically committed in states where people aren't allowed to carry a gun for self defense.
It's really not that big of a mystery. Criminals aren't stupid. They understand things like this. Pulling a knife or gun on someone in Georgetown will get you their wallet, cel phone, or car. Pulling a gun on someone 1/2 a mile away in Roslyn might get you killed. They know this.

Wow and incredibly false. My neighborhood is predominantly black and crime free. And each household has a black male in your age range. Your statement is racist and false.
