Lol. It is always funny to see the shock on some of the suburbanites faces when they get on the greenline at Lenfant in order to go to the Nationals games. Something else I notice, you see a lot of whites parking in the public housing complexes in Southwest and walking to the Nats stadium. I haven't really seen or heard of any incidents either. Everyone seems to be mixing kind of well in SW.

That or them projects got enough police presence to deter crime.

idk, I've gone out to Largo a few times and never had any problems. I know at one point I was one of two white guys on the train and the other white guy went and sat in the seat in front of mine LoL

Only time I felt uncomfortable riding out there tbh was when I was alone in a train. Something creepy about it.

Seriously,
I very seldom see black kids attacking whites. It is normally black on black. I used to joke with my roommate about the white women jogging with their poodles in SW are a lot safer than us cause the muggers know they are going to jail if they attack her.

Watching the video it's easy to see why he was targeted. These type of kids are animals and as such they can spot prey easier than most.

I live near Branch Avenue I do see a couple white people on the train and more Hispanics but its still the green line is the Black express. I've never seen any type of violent confrontation on the train.

All this time I thought you were black. I have no idea why.

Green line's changed a whole lot in the past 10 years to the point that the only sketchy areas are toward the end, like with the orange / blue. Columbia Heights is now the first yuppie express stop downtown in the morning. U Street, Convention Center, Chinatown, Waterfront, and Navy Yard have changed so drastically, with Georgia Ave / Petworth and Ft. Totten well on their way. Perhaps the new mixing of populations on that line is probably contributing to these incidents. It used to be a lot more homogenous.

I kinda like how that guy dealt with it - "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!"

Who cares if it's black on white or vice versa. This type of behavior is not ok and shouldn't be tolerated.
