I reported what had happened to me to the two Washington papers and the two PG County papers. The only person that showed any interest in my story was a reporter for one of the PG papers. However, when I phoned her back, she had lost all interest. I assume her editor had spoken to her.
In the end, my story was not carried. And future whites were left ignorant of the true facts, so that they too could wander into the dangerous area (which, by the way, is very near to the stadium where the Washington Redskins now play.)
The one that bothers me the most is the white family that moved into the projects. They were getting terrorized every night. A group of at least a dozen young black men chased the husband down one night and beat him until he was hospitalized, with fists, feet and sticks. They were getting rocks thrown through their windows, break-ins, racist graffiti sprayed on the outside of the apartment. We almost had to put a cruiser there around the clock.
Metro housing finally moved them out. The paper didn't print any of it. It's funny how the democrats are against segregation yet in our projects (we have several different areas throughout the city) everybody is segregated. We have projects that are mostly white, mostly hispanic and mostly black.
I say democrats because I feel it's mostly their agenda that keeps people on welfare and in the projects.
