Some in the Georgetown area started using the app service in February, 2014 after the business organization - Georgetown Business Improvement District - worked with police in the District to launch it. The service called "Operation GroupMe" was meant, some in the area said, as a tool to try to reduce shoplifting in the area. Georgetown is one of the nation's poshest shopping districts.

But a look at the bulk of the correspondence over a nine-month period of those using the service had some people expressing suspicions about African Americans. About 90 percent of the photographs that were put up showed blacks. And there were descriptions in offensive language.

Gee, WaComPost, do you think the BEHAVIOR of the blacks might have had something to do with the attitude towards them?
