Maybe they thought you were transgendered?

Either way, you shouldn't expect to find useful answers here, but what do you want the Mayor to say? There are no quick and simple solutions.
BTW, others seem unaware that meaningful discourse isn't initiated by prattling on about leadership, accountability, liberal guilt and denial.

Yikes--the reference to "by them" is deeply concerning.
"Deeply" concerning? What does that even mean?
It's called reality. Let me define 'them' of you. Thug black teens wilding in the streets, firing guns, and making life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy the event.
Wow you're a regular Webster's Dictionary...
Define "them" that make life hell for decent folk trying to enjoy watching a movie in a theater for me.
Well in that case, I didn't see any white people rioting after the Holmes verdict (or any other white mass killer in recent memory) or demanding his release from prison. Or his family defending him saying "my boy's a good boy! He ain't done nothin wrong!!"
Learn to face reality. Or don't be surprised when people like Donald Trump surge ahead in popularity. Or frankly, anyone else in public life who has the balls to confront inconvenient truths and unPC racial issues in this country. It all comes down to attitude and that's something that boils down to the community and individual that handouts and programs don't fix readily. I know DC has come a long way since the Barry days but that doesn't mean decent, productive people who live and work here should have to make do with daytime shootouts and a complete lack of respect for life and property.
Sincerely,
A concerned young citizen who leans liberal but has had enough of this PC/let's stick out head in the sand nonsense.
Quite the example of cogent, persuasive writing. Residents of DC concerned with crime interested in discussing root causes and the very real impact on our lives aren't doing it on DCUM and haven't deluded themselves imto thinking it's a function of attitude or handouts.
Then what are you doing here then? Attitude and personal responsibility don't matter? Is it possible to support more accountability in our criminal justice system AND be critical of the lack of leadership and accountability in the black community? Or, does one have to side with guilty white liberals living in denial and/or parrot Black Lives Matter talking points without any regard for objectivity or first hand observation?
I'm not here to debate root causes with people who don't know the first thing about DC, urban poverty or crime. No one, with the exception of Fox viewers, gives a rat's ass about BLM or their supposed talking points. I'm a progressive and have no guilt because I worked hard and earn a wealthy paycheck, so stop projecting your bizarre preconceptions and assumptions.

Well look here concerned young citizen odds are you're more likely to get your throat slashed or your brains blown out by your spouse or your fellow fair-skinned friends than by any of the dark-skinned demons you despise so much. What you think white people are innocent angels from heaven who are incapable of committing callous, cruel, and cold-blooded acts? Lol - I watch Dateline religiously and damned if every week I don't see some pale-skinned sexually repressed sociopath murdering his whole family, killing his wife for the insurance money, molesting innocent children and basically running around wreaking havoc with a complete lack of respect for life. You're right it does all come down to attitude and that privileged pretentious self-righteous infallible and entitled attitude of yours is exactly what has you so distanced from reality. You like inconvenient truths? Look in the mirror and while you're at it tell your boy Donald Trump to do the same. Hate to break it to you but y'all shit stinks too.
Yet black-on-black violence runs rampant.
Yet white-on-white violence persists all across the country - your point?
You neglected to mention that. As most liberals do.

White people are not being discriminated against in America. And no one is persecuting Christians in America. Stop tilting at windmills. Or at least take your psych meds.
...yet there are some parts of this city where whites are very unwelcome and that's often made known to them verbally and physically. Or worse.
"Are you being purposefully obtuse or should I try and type very slowly to account for your limited higher order thinking? You might want to pick up a dictionary, you know, that big dusty book on your shelf that's never been opened, and look up the meaning of the terms "rooted" and "historic.". There apparently are myriad events which have historic roots. For example, do you know that Americans celebrate Independence Day on July 4 for a reason? The same for Christmas, because Santa comes down your chimney early that morning. I don't have a problem with whites and Dr. Ben Carson being barred from the Zoo on Easter Monday or the Air & Space Museum to permit the commemoration of the death of Ronald McNair on January 28. It's a form of reparations."
Making the case for reparations is a non-starter for a lot of folks both black and white who've learned to move on. I wonder how DCUM and polite society would respond if someone insisted on a "whites only" event at the Zoo or Mall or even a private venue. Talk about an idiotic double standard.
