Only 6 blacks have been popularly elected to the Senate. What do y’all think about Statehood for DC?

[King Static X]

I support DC statehood wholeheartedly.

It should happen next year, if Biden wins and Democrats take back the Senate.

Nah. And I'm not a cooon.

Actually lived in DC for a few years, right in Northeast a few minutes walk from Rhode Island and Brookland stations.

I think DC should remain "neutral" aka no Senator and no voting House of Representative regardless how big it gets. I think it just keep things neutral, nationally.

The whole black majority as reason why no Congressiinal voting representation is no longer applicable. Afram/Blacks are no longer the majority in DC. They are still the most numerous, but it's less than 50% Afram/Black and dropping, as the overall DC population increases.

And amazingly the whiter it gets, the chances of it becoming a state will increase.Black people gotta play this power game better.

Valid fuucking point actually.

Me personally, I'm still going say hell nah
You right the colonizers will likely "lobby" to make DC a state, especially as it will be wealthier white liberal/Democrat.

Self determination

Do you not realize that DC is unique in that most other countries wish they had federally neutral ground like we do?
