You'll also still find some local Whites living in Georgetown and the Upper Northwest, especially among the old money crowd.
DC's black pop is steadily decreasing. Its currently at 50%, it could dip any second.

I'll be honest....DC is becoming richer and whiter. It is going to go through a lot of gentrification throughout the next several decades and only get worse. I anticipate it will be more expensive than SF and NYC (as a whole) within the next 20 years.

There are still plenty of people native to DC if you know where to look. Black and White. If you're interested in looking that is.

What about the nativity of African American population in both metros?

I'm just stating a fact. No need to get aggressive.

No aggression intended. Just saying, nobody's really sweating what the white folks do, because we already know how they operate, but it doesn't really matter. They don't put any fear in us, because they're not real like us. We do what we have to do, while they wait for enforcements.
