Not only are we both more ordinary and more talented than you think we are; we are also far more numerous. Our state, while small, would have a population larger than that of Wyoming or Vermont. If trends continue, we could soon catch up to Alaska...

Sad fact is that DC statehood will gain more steam once DC is unambiguously a predominantly white city with a white mayor. Whites are gentrifying DC, but they are 15 years away from total control. White supremacy is as American as apple pie
