I suggest that we focus on getting full congressional representation (as decent state services) by trying to rejoin Maryland. It doesn’t help to blame every perceived slight on racism. Sometimes, as here, it’s due to the incompetence and inattention of DC’s mayor and congressional delegate and their immediate teams.

You can define it however you want. And they view DC as whiny, entitled, somewhat corrupt and not very competent. Good luck with your statehood!
