And the klan

[@OnsceneDC]

It used to be as soon as people had kids, they moved to the suburbs. Not anymore! Families are moving into the District, which is driving demand and pushing up home prices. Fortunately the DC government is taking this newly generated tax money and pumping it into schools, libraries, etc. Many of the public schools in DC are pretty good, and excellent for early education. It will take a while to see the payoff- as many of the high schools aren't great (and rampant youth violence).

[@ryanyoung9202]

☝️- 🎯 EXACTLY THE 94 CRIME BILL WAS MUCH NEEDED

[@SuburbanDMV]

You don't know jack. The 94 crime bill made it 10x worse for Black drug offenders than Whites. This has been studied & proven in many studies. It also had writing in the bill that made "Crack" cocaine 10x more of a jailable offense than when White users just used cocaine. That same bill also had a provision called T.I.S Truth in Sentencing. Basically the more people you locked up , the more Federal money you would get. So you have drug laws that are 10x more harsh on Blacks than whites which enables you to jail more Black offenders for more Federal money. They also , took away most GED programs to rehibilitate criminals. You know where the majority of those cuts to GED programs took place?? 84% in prisons with a majority BLack population. There is even more racist provisions in that bill. You fools elected the same idiot to do it to you again. FJB

No matter what his trial’s or tribulations were, I will always have nothing but love and respect for Marion Barry. I remember back when I was 6 years old and it was the first weekend of summer in uptown DC 1994. At 8am I was the only person on Rudolph Elementary playground basketball court shooting around. A man in a suit walks up and he began shooting hoops with me while asking me questions about what I wanted to do when I grew up and also giving me advice and reassurance that anything I wanted to do was possible, etc. We shot around on the court for only 30 - 45 minutes but at that time I had no clue who he was or that he was Marion Barry. His staff I’m assuming ended up coming over and told him it was time to go but I did not realize that was Marion Barry until seeing him on the news at the school later that day. There were go-go bands performing free shows on the playground of the school that day which is why he was there but looking back at that moment today I could tell that Marion Barry was getting tired of the negativity and stress surrounding his position at the time. He appeared to just want a sense of normalcy in his life and in that moment I could tell that he wanted to embrace what’s really important in life, the little things. RIP Marion Barry
