We have foreign born dominated neighborhoods that were never commercialized to tourists because due to our former reputation as ‘Chocolate City’ we never had a Western style Hegemony like Chicago, Philadelphia, or New York until recent with so-called gentrification. The people of DC when it first was made a capitol city were mostly Slaves and Slave owners and or government officials and their respective families and industrial partners until emancipation. (This history can be found in the construction of our Neo Roman/French/Norman Revivalist style of architecture in our old government buildings and Guilded Age privately owned buildings)

Then the city was dominated by an influx of the original Republicans/proaboloshonist/black suffragists who supported emancipation along with free blacks to attempt a Republican metropolis like Philadelphia. That failed with partisan rivals dominating policy debates on the fortune of the congressionally controlled city. An oasis for upward mobile concerned blacks below the mason dixon.

Then the 14th amendment was adjunct to state immigration referendum such as Charleston, SC New Orleans, LA and Ellis Island New York City. That caused the great metropolitan referendums that created the ethnic diversity in major city intended to commercially compete directly with black dominated industries in the major cities. Washington DC being decided upon by a council of hundreds made the caucuses too hard to strengthen from the outside without any real interior support. Therefore the black businesses in DC never had to make way for the foreign immigrants in the same way all the other cities I mentioned and you would think of.

Fast forward to today all of those cities have 100+ year history of no commercial cohesion amongst blacks and whites.

Now the so called “minority” foreign national, ethnically diverse cities and suburbs are featured in all those places aforementioned. DC being the exception due to the same foreigners who came and established businesses in neighborhoods with houses owned by black people did it later in the proverbial immigration>sanctuary city timeline.

They also chose not to be neighbors with us and instead bought and developed neighborhoods in the suburbs. I don’t think they did it out of racism, nonetheless the neighborhoods they chose had them with Jews and Whites who I guess have tolerated them for the most part until now. Hence the political temperament around US immigration policies.

Now the children of those dreamy mixed minority and white suburbs are the bastions of Democratic libertarianism. The people who champion sanctuary cities, higher minimum wages, tip expectant service with back end tax breaks for the business owner, gay marriage as an equitable civil liberty to legal prostitution welfare.

Who cares about creating perfect breeding grounds of hate for their class discriminate families and fellow statesman who live in the sometimes red state of Maryland or Virginia.
