The number of African Americans residing in the District plummeted by more than 11 percent during the past decade, with blacks on the verge of losing their majority status in the city for the first time in half a century.


According to census statistics released Thursday, barely 50 percent of the District’s population was African American in 2010 — a remarkable shift in a place once nicknamed “Chocolate City.”

The black population dropped by more than 39,000 over the decade, down to 301,000 of the city’s 601,700 residents. At the same time, the non-Hispanic white population skyrocketed by more than 50,000 to 209,000 residents, almost a third higher than a decade earlier.  ...
“We’re going to stop this trend — gentrification,” said D.C. Council member Marion Barry (D-Ward 8). “We can’t displace old-time Washingtonians.”

“The key to keeping this city black is jobs, jobs, jobs for black people so they can have a better quality of life in neighborhoods in the city,” he added. “I believe in integration, but I don’t believe in the apartheid we have in Ward 8. You don’t see corner stores in Ward 3. You don’t see the liquor stores.”

Barry, the four-term mayor who emerged from the civil rights movement, also faulted Congress for overturning a residency requirement for local government workers in 1988. That, he said, helped build up what he called “Ward 9,” referring to Prince George’s County.

“We can’t keep people from moving, but if we had a residency requirement, we could keep government workers from moving,” Barry said.  ...

It'll still be just as Left of center as ever of course, but without the Black racism drowning out everything else.

50,000 to 209,000 is 1/3 more growth?

white population skyrocketed by more than 50,000 to 209,000 residents, almost a third higher than a decade earlier


601,700 total pop, 209,000 white pop (35%), 301,000 black pop (50%)...so...510,000 pop of black and white (85%), leaving 91,700 pop of other. (15%)

Damn that whitey!

Math evidently isn't your strong suit. 

It said that the Cesspool on the Potomac added 50,000 crackas to their population, bringing their population of honkies to a new total of 209,000 stupid white folk waiting to be fleeced.  50,000 is 1/3 of the roughly 150,000 that the cracka population was at before, thus the population of snowballs increased by a third.

Pesky whites.  Shiftless bunch.

Unfortunately, blacks are moving back south at a higher rate than whites. ...and they bring that black thugster trash with 'em.

You say it like it's a bad thing or something. :confused:

DC has one of the country's highest abortion rates, and a higher percentage of black babies are aborted than any other race.  No wonder the population is getting whiter.

Maybe Marion thinks that the city would benefit from more crack dealers.

Wonder if the crime rate will go down.





Oh no I di'int!












Sorry, it is what it is. The most violent areas of the country are majority black. Maybe they should start working on that, but they won't. It's exactly what the Dims wanted. Subjects.
