V good question and one of the main reasons “I wish all Black people had a PG” is not only baseless, but silly.
#1 Prince George’s County isn’t affluent.
#2, On the local level, our politicians, *especially* and particularly the Black ones intentionally take advantage of us. https://twitter.com/madenchynna/status/1385274860994187266">https://twitter.com/madenchyn...

Like, really examine the quality of life for Prince George’s County residents that don’t live in pockets in Upper Marlboro, Bowie, Largo, and Hyattsville.
Better yet: Pay a little more attention to the quality of life for the residents who *do* live in those cities. https://twitter.com/caldwellsaysido/status/1385073529503338498">https://twitter.com/caldwells...

We are forever distracted by meritless vanity and it’s why y’all keep regurgitating that arbritrary “Richest Black county” foolishness.
Leaves all the room for harmful assumptions and misunderstandings.

-The *entire* public school system is *stuck* so far below par, but PG is an “affluent” county.
-There aren’t suitable supermarkets that provide the quality of fresh produce and meat. There are *literal* food deserts all up and through the county, but PG is an “affluent” county.

Our County Council, School Board, and State-level politicians (Our State Senators and State Delegates) support the presence of police/SROs (school resource officers) in our schools, which are again, stuck below par.
That means PG supports the school-to-prison pipeline.

Wonder why all these cheaply-built, yet unnecessarily expensive new constructions are popping up all over the county? They’re not meant to attract PG natives and current PG residents.
Plus, PG County has the *highest property tax in our region in Maryland. Higher than MoCo.

That means, the *majority of residents*, the native, “common” residents are being priced out—On purpose.
That means less incentive for Black entrepreneurs to start brick and mortar businesses. That means less Black homeownership.

Our Black County Executive is spearheading gentrification.
Isn’t it amazing how Oxon Hill is PG’s crown jewel all of a sudden. Who lives in the Harbor? Lmao Come on, y’all!

Our Black County Executive imposed a harsh curfew on PG County children during the Summer *only* at the National Harbor, to ensure that white gentrifiers were comfortable, and which resulted in arrests.
MoCo ain’t do that for Downtown Silver Spring. AA ain’t do it for Annapolis.

So, just because you & people you grew up with attended private Christian schools, houses in the town over are $700,000, & people drive white 2006 S-Class Mercedes, that doesn’t add up to affluence.
