El Guapo 10 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 This brings up an interesting question, why is DC sometimes referred to as the 51st state, and other times not. I know they were trying to make it a state a few years back but not sure what happened with that. Does anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites

I know they were trying to make it a state a few years back but not sure what happened with that. Does anyone know?It's definitely not a stateThe reason that people want to make it a state is that the people who live there don't have representation in congress - no senators or repsThe reason that it didn't become and state and probably won't is well ... the people who live there are predominantly black and like Kayne West said ...It's a sad paradox - the all the city's monuments are white - the president lives in the white houseand the only people who live there permanently are poor blacks Link to post Share on other sites

Or you are partly right but not in the way you intended.The reason DC (and Puerto Rico and perhaps a few other places debatably) don't have a voting representative in Congress is because they would vote Democrat, and there are enough Republicans in Congress that they will never get a 2/3rds vote to create another Democrat state. Typically most black people tend to vote Democrat, but it is their political leanings, not their race which is the issue here. Link to post Share on other sites

Typically most black people tend to vote Democrat, but it is their political leanings, not their race which is the issue here.Also it's stipulated in the Consititution that D.C. should be a "federal district". That makes it even harder to turn it into a state than a territory like PR. Link to post Share on other sites
