Black dc, you think gentrification is bad,
Once they get statehood this city taxes will be higher than California and New York combined. You know what that means? Redistricting back to md/va.
This will be a disaster for black DC and the mayor will not care.

Ps the only thing mayor bowser wants is to be governor. She will sweep the homeless out to md/va faster than she does now. Oh ps she also dumps her problems in va when it comes to vaccines and gave under age children the right to inoculations w/o parents consent.

Let's see the check list for Mayor bowser:

Mayor bowser hates the homeless. Her and laquanda love sweeping them from under bridges and throwing away their things.
No one really bothered them but her.

Let's talk about how she is black but almost had an entire culture before her stepping in office muted by her own gentrifiers.

But wait there's more black dc needs to wake up to. She was the main reason why Bloomberg stop and frisk reached dc. Had cops checking 5 year olds and 10 year olds black children playing in the street. But we are supposed ignore that.

Black dc better wake up!!!
Statehood is not for us!!
Its for gentrifiers and transplants who want a "pretty new id/drivers license" at the cost of losing ALL OF CHOCOLATE CITY. We built this and deserve better than some progressives Statehood bill.

We need Representation/policies/reparations/ medical care/housing council with HOUSING TO LIVE IN, NOT A WAITING LIST TO NOWHERE/violence interceptors/youth programs that actually care.
Statehood does not fix the hood and it won't fix the growing economic problem for black dc.
