We’ve been getting some incredible reactions to our long-awaited Hoods & Services issue. The highlight so far: a certain Anonymous (A. Payton) posted the following (and so much more!) below Cherkis’s profile of the Dissed-Trict:
I enjoyed your June 20th series of articles on DC neghborhoods…..and I HATED IT!!!
To be fair, the series was educational and humorous. But I do wonder if the City Paper is consciously working to assist the careless real estate and population upheavals in DC. No I’m not talking conspiracies. Just a quiet, journalist stirring of the hornets nest .
You know this issue will become the Cliff Notes/cheat sheet for whites and newcomers looking to bone up on the territories they plan to envade and conquer. With this (and Google) they can pretend to be knowledable about these areas.

Because, obviously, the only way to protect certain neighborhoods is to emphasize race and class difference even more than the general population already does. Amazing idea! Instead of blurring lines, let’s make more!

Would that misguided and racist rant by Anonymous (A. Payton) still be a “highlight” if it was some ignorant white guy saying how he wants blacks or Jews to stop moving into his Springfield neighborhood?
One of his complaints about white people is that they sometimes smile at him?
What a load of fucking rubbish.
