"Although the Constitution grants Congress power over the seat of government, the long-standing hostility toward the very idea of home rule in D.C. stems from the belief that Black people are incapable of governing themselves."

Well that's stupid.
The long standing hostility toward the very idea of home rule in DC has a lot to do with the idea of that no local government should control the place that the entire national assembly meets to discuss national issues.
It has nothing to do with race. It has to do with the practicalities of running a national government.
