Comments on: Racism is Headline News? Really? http://www.citysparkledc.com/2006/12/racism-is-headline-news-really/ A formerly anon blogger, trying to make it honest Mon, 18 Jan 2010 01:26:21 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: DCVita http://www.citysparkledc.com/2006/12/racism-is-headline-news-really/#comment-7043 DCVita Wed, 13 Dec 2006 17:07:00 +0000 http://citysparkle.wordpress.com/2006/12/12/racism-is-headline-news-really/#comment-7043 I saw this special yesterday while I was at the gym and I was going to write a post about it. It does not shock me at all. In fact, we do not really see it or experience it as much in the DC are because there are so many foreign nationals here. But my brother goes to a school 3 hours west of DC and he has been the target of racism and discrimination hard core. It is a predominantly white university and the things that they have said to him are heartbreaking. That just gives me another reason why I love DC so much. You can kind of go about your business in a semi-normal manner. I saw this special yesterday while I was at the gym and I was going to write a post about it. It does not shock me at all.
