Yes it is. When I lived there, the apartments I lived in were about 1/2 white and 1/2 black. Everything was fine with the people living there. It was the crap coming out of DC stealing everything. You would see people driving thru during the daytime with DC tags. Tires were stolen one night right off of a PG County cruiser parked in front of his apartment. Back when PG was mainly white there was still alot of crime. Breakins, cars stolen, tires stolen, you name it. So it has always been a high crime area. When I lived in a majority white apartment complex, it turned into a h#llhole and the most of the crime at that time and drug dealers were white and this was in the 70s. I think any highly populated area has more crime, whether it's black or white area.
It's just seems now the riff raff has moved on down to Charles County, which is sad. I hate to see it turn into another PG. I dread even going to my family's gravesites in Suitland for fear of being a sitting duck standing out in the cemetary so somebody can carjack me. And it's a shame for the black families who years ago, moved into PG for nicer homes, thinking it was a better place to raise their kids and now every home up there has bars on it's lower level windows. And during my life I have white people from the richer counties (Montgomery, No. Virginia counties) look down on me because I lived in PG (and I am white). It's racial or social all the way down the line.
