Congratulations. You have finally posted an article for which I can think of nothing nastier to say than the people involved.

The most racist, hatefully anti-black people I know…. are black themselves.
Further into the article, it becomes clear what is going on. The Respect DC crowd wants written assurance that Wal-Mart will “respect” DC by investing in the local community. Yeah, they’ve been in power for decades, and all they’ve done is grind the local population into the ground, creating poverty and joblessness.
