Black moderates fear losing power in D.C. with younger, Whiter electorate
Washington Post ^ | October 23, 2020 | Fenit Nirappil, Michael Brice-Saddler, Julie Zauzmer, and John D. Harden

A crowded D.C. Council race is again exposing the racial undercurrents of city politics, sparking a battle over who should wield power in a gentrifying place once known as Chocolate City.

Washington, D.C., went from majority to plurality Black a decade ago, and the electorate has since grown younger and Whiter. Black moderates worry they are in danger of being sidelined by a new generation of politicians intent on pushing a national liberal agenda.

FOUR authors. Can’t any reporters write on their own? Blacks should’ve thought about their political power when they were aborting 40% of their children

“FOUR authors. Can’t any reporters write on their own?”

Not without fear of individual failure.

Group projects have been the thing in schools for decades. Teachers have fewer papers to grade, the weak are carried by the strong, all get a passing grade/blue ribbon and all learn not to strive individually.

Another cultural Marxist indoctrination tool.

It is inbred in Millennials, as we see in more and more articles.

“Blacks should’ve thought about their political power when they were aborting 40% of their children.”

So true.

But, critical thinking skills have purposely not been taught to blacks by our pubic school system, which has been steered by progressives & union D’rats for many decades.

And easy abortion has been made available to blacks by progressives and D’rats.

Will blacks get really pissed if they figure that out?

Younger and whiter electorate in DC? That’s interesting.

With this in mind, maybe the RATs will decide to NOT give statehood to DC as they’re planning to do.

BS post.

Thanks to folkjs like the lovely Candace Owens and BLEXIT, more blacks are coming into the Conservative/Republican tent and welcoming, open arms.

No "blacks are nervous about whites"

THAT is all misdirection.

Fixed headline: “Black Marxists fear losing power in D.C. with younger, Whiter ultra-Stalinazi electorate.”

If you can believe it, Marion Barry opposed the ultra-radical gay “marriage” vote in D.C. when he spent his last term on the D.C. Council.

That’s the only thing that remotely came close to being “moderate.”

Just what do they think will happen if 25 million illegal immigrants are given amnesty?

Blacks have always been a small minority of the population. What helped them was the ENORMOUS supply of good will from the white population that they had.

Contrary to what the racial agitators say, most white people cared about the plight of blacks, and wanted them to do well and become prosperous fellow Americans.

This good will has been seriously eroded lately.

“Black moderates worry they are in danger of being sidelined by a new generation of politicians intent on pushing a national liberal agenda.”

So DC is experiencing the same thing that states like Texas and Florida are going through. A bunch of damn White liberals moving in to their area and bringing their leftist politics with them to change things there. White liberals are the human equivalent of an “invasive species”!

My son has lived in DC for years. I asked him about the changes. He said that there are a lot of young people who are transient. They are living in DC but are not part of the the politics. They have there jobs live in DC for awhile and then move on.

He lived on Flagler PL. in 2016.

“Moderate” is the buzzword of the day. Don’t trust it.

It’s on TV, too, in children’s programming. Clifford, the Big Red Dog should be renamed Comrade Clifford, the Commie Cur. Smurfs? Don’t get me started.
