to Alexandria High School, ditching the association with a racist former superintendent, as proof that they are united in rejecting racism.
This one said: “In this house we believe that using snark and sarcasm and pedantic, overly complex language to respond to others’ somewhat meaningless virtue-signaling is just divisive and trollish behavior, but hey, signs are fun.” The number of Black people in the area around Shadd has decreased by more than 10 percent over the past decade — falling from about a third of the population to less than a quarter as the community grew. Over that same period, the number of White residents increased by more than 40 percent, accounting for more than 62 percent of the total population by 2020, according to census data.
Erick Langer, 66, has watched the yard sign dialogue unfold on walks with his dog, Luna. A history professor at Georgetown and a longtime Alexandria resident, Langer is aware of the neighborhood’s complicated past. He knows that he lives on the edge of a historically Black neighborhood “I still haven’t quite figured out what they are trying to say,” Langer said from his front porch where he spends most mornings with his breakfast. “But I think people have a right to express themselves. It shows the diversity of the neighborhood.”
