@Truth Hurts, but it's whites in the country will all the power and in control, not blacks. Also, it was whites that caused some blacks to be racist against them for their past and present hatred of blacks or anyone non white. I think, Jack Evans and David Catania are both racist white males. However, this isn't the same with Miss Graham. She likes her coffee black or brown.

@ Southeast Ken: I'm not going to defend the city council. Most of the CM's are pretty bad, even if they didn't start off that way.

When it comes to racism, however, it's not confined to just whites. A few black CM's are quite racist through and through.

We have 13 ignorant fools on the Council of the District of Columbia. I agree, Ward 4 DC Councilmember Jack Evans is trying to keep all the mostly white affluent neighborhoods in his Ward. Jack doesn't give a darn about poor blacks. The funny part, all are Democrats fighting on the DC Council. I been telling other blacks, there are racists within the Democratic Party.

I really dislike our DC Councilmembers.

I am in the minority here--where I understand the committee has a tough job and no one is going to be happy.

The only thing I think is disgusting is that Jack Evans tries to keep peices of neighborhood for himself--even though he should/has to let go of territory.

Is that Ward 2 keeping the Verizon Center and cutting half the Capitol?

Otherwise, I think it is simply vanity and relationships--everyone wants to be on the same school bus as their friends. And a Ward 6 parking sticker is more prized than a Ward 7 or Ward 5.

But you will get in theory the same city services in every Ward--so the ground to be upset are none.

I do see the shifts in Ward making it harder for Alexander and Barry in upcoming elections. More so for Alexander--she is not as politically astute and as love by her base as Barry. Ward 6 residents are tough and will prefer somoene who is in their "type" like a Mark Long or Cleve Mesidor. The type--that well connected, high pedigreed--I have Jim Messina on my Friend's list.

If they ran with the new demographic they would take her out.

What's really sad is the ignorance of the committee to think that it was all about two schools. Yvette Alexander days are numbered as a Council person and so are Micheal Brown's. As hard as the residents try to make DC a melting pot, the Council do a great job of keeping us separated. If the really wanted to help Ward 7, Why didn't they draw the line more on Penn. Ave. versus 17th Street.

I'm being edged out of Ward 6 by a couple of houses. We just moved from 13th & I to 17th & M NE. I suppose I had it coming in trying to find an affordable house. Goodbye Tommy Wells...it was good while it lasted.

@Southeast Ken and MadWard7Resident,
LOL. I thought I was in the minority with my disgust at Yvette Alex-nitwitt's performance. We need a really strong leader.

Ward 1 is smaller because it's denser -- the wards are based on population, not square miles.

@ Southeast Ken,

I hope we can meet one day! You are so funny!

I can not wait to get Yvette "Ms. Piggy" Alexander out of office! She is a nasty heffer! Wait until Hill East eat her alive! Now Kingman Park folks will have help to tag team her!

Ms. Piggy, get the zip drive out and update that resume,
your time in office is almost up! We will no longer be fooled by you!

Where was Yvette Pig Feet Alexander at when all this redistricting stuff went down? She was chilling because the deal was done way before now!

I hope you enjoyed your trip in Vegas on WALMARTS dime!
You better enjoy because those perks are coming to an end!
