One more thing to note about Asians in black neighborhoods:
Do some Internet searching about beauty supply stores. Although black women are the main consumers, we own a paltry small amount of the stores. And it's not for lack of interest. The Koreans have the market cornered and don't take too kindly to blacks trying to open a business. The distributors are all Koreans and are not willing to sell to black businesses.
Personally, I think it's an outrage that blacks aren't allowed to get a foothold in an industry where we are the main consumers, but until we are able to start a distribution company, this probably won't change anytime soon (if ever).
This isn't about semantics; it's about being honest in what you post. You were WRONG about your waterfront claims.
If you indeed own property in some of the areas that I listed (as you claim), you WOULD NOT be on C-D. Those areas are where the big leagues in this city live in their multi-million dollar homes. And, not that I believe you, but buying property does not mean you know an area. I guess if I buy a shack in Jamaica, I'm now an expert of the island?
But this is the Internet, so everyone is successful and wealthy.

As I sit here in my office overlooking L'Enfant Plaza reading our quarterly financial statements, it really doesn't matter to me what you believe. Although I will admit that I find it quite interesting that you believe that CD is a bastion for losers and otherwise unsuccessful types. Even more interesting considering you're a regular contributor.

And yet them ole D.C. Asians has jest gots ta gooooooooo y'all !
How on earth can folks like this still be involved in any form of legitimate government functions ! ............. No wonder America is rapidly approaching a critical crisis point.
How about them arrogant gobbermint "Morons" in the GSA !!!
How unbelievably pathetic this bunch truly appears to be !!!
America has the "Greatest Government Process On The Globe" and yet most of the people who occupy the vastly important positions within this grand process appear to be little more than common thieves and con artists .
No wonder the American Citizens are absolutely fed up with such horrendous abuses as this latest wasting of hard earned tax payer Money !!!!! ................... And the arrogance of putting a video on facebook about such idiocy !!!!!
We the people had better wake up and restore the America we love ..... and I mean soon !!! ........................... Cheers / Old Sgt. Lamar
It says volumes about who he's speaking to doesn't it?
The lowest of denominators buy what he's shoveling and they eat it up don't they? Re-elected to office after a drug charge and prison time. He is a race panderer.

The sad part is this wasn't the case. I'm sure you're familiar with Madame CJ Walker she and several like her started and built successful beauty care businesses. She and others did this during segregation . I guess back then blacks were more about doing than whining about competitors like today.
No one "allows" you into a business and I think this sentiment pretty much sums up why Blacks aren't very successful in business in general. No one owes you anything you have to be savvy and take risks.
Been wondering that for years. There is a movie titled "The Nine Lives of Marion Barry", the saga of a "despised, beloved and resilient" politician...
involving drugs, race issues, sex... and stupidity.
