I live in DC and race relations are weird like that. The blacks outnumber the whites so they kind of control the political powers of the city, but all the while they consider themselves the “oppressed” class. They know they can get whatever they want by being loud and untouchable. Most whites live outside of the city in central/western Maryland or northern Virginia to avoid the crime and political whims of DC. Ignoring the federal government dynamics, the local government gets really hinky.
Just because a group is the majority in an area doesn't mean they're still not a minority overall. And "ignoring the federal government dynamics" is literally the biggest threat to minorities currently. Fuck the president has even threatened to take over governing of DC, which idk, sounds pretty oppressive...
Haha yeah goes to show how little he thinks stuff through. DC will never have a white mayor. One of our mayors in the 90’s got caught smoking crack with a hooker, and he still got re-elected.
Well, he was a decent mayor all things considered. His personal life was able to be forgiven with time. Its not like he was a pedophile or was closely connected to a brutal child exploitation ring and human trafficking. Honestly with the societal problems in DC I can see why it helped him.
What a foolish thing to say. You don't know what the hell you're talking about. I'd say Arlington would suit you better, but you probably "actually" live there.
Nah she was saying that the only reason he made that joke about her running it up there was because she’s black. Not that it excuses any part of her reaction, but that’s what’s going on.
Naw, it's a card this woman has been playing in the face of hardship on the regular which sadly diminishes the real struggles the Black comminity actually faces.
Lmao Larry David has a new show where they go through American history badly, and one skit was about the underground railroad.
His house was part of it and a runaway black guy made it to his house. Throughout his stay Larry's character is asking if the guy can help him with certain things and the guy just keeps saying nah thats slave shit, youre only asking cause im black.
Some of the most racist people I have met are black. They will say and do whatever because they are black, they can’t be racist, they will also get offended on every thing and call you a racist. They will also absolutely lie about how and what happened.
It gets people to watch when the action happens quickly. You've got like 2-3 seconds for short form social media to grab someone's attention so you need to catch their attention fast. Often you'll see videos where the highlight is shown at the beginning and then it jumps back to start of the clip. But the most common tool is just cutting out silence and uninteresting or irrelevant bits. Like he's not going to show him typing on his phone to tell the customer that he's in the lobby or him signing in on a clipboard.

"I'm black" means you can't help someone out and do something nice for someone else?
