You're right, but DC is doing this now. I think the discourse surrounding vaccination was another recent example. We had government officials openly demonizing groups of eligible citizens for actually doing exactly what they were supposed to do to sign up for appointments, but the language used to justifying cutting off parts of the city from a shared resource made them sound like monsters.

It's a scary trend and I think DC needs to get the strong message that yes, they are responsible for providing city services to ALL their citizens.

LOL. Limiting whitening is not a disparaging remark. Limiting white privilege is not a bad thing for a district to do, I'm actually quite surprised they worded it the way they did.
But of course all the commenters getting angry about the wording are those who don't believe in white privilege, don't care, or just ignorant.

I do not believe white privilege is as significant a factor in the course of an individual's achievement, or indeed in the course of world (or even just American) history, as you, CRT, and apparently now the DC government make it out to be. Your paradigm is faulty and it needs to stop being accepted as fact.

Tell that to George Floyd and the others.

It was tragic, it was wrong, those police were racist. But it simply does not follow that cities have any grounds for denying appropriate services, educational or public health-related, to white citizens. The city needs to serve everyone. The minute it crafts a bad-faith justification for not serving everyone they are themselves very wrong.

Mmmmmm we are starting to no longer accept,' but but they are racist.' No this system is racist and what about those before him? The jurors who let all those officers go not guilty?

I'm sorry the United States is founded and build on white supremacy and 'mitigating the whitening of a feeder pattern' is only a drop in the bucket. Hopefully all non-white people will finally wake the F up with all the things that are being brought to light.

If we have people claiming they aren't racists simply saying, 'That was a tragedy but my white children...' I mean we are doomed to just have more and more hate in this world. Because white privilege is an issue the seeps into every facet of life for people, how nice it must be not to see that, how nice it must be to not want to acknowledge that as reality. How nice.

It's as if saying 'the city should give public services to all" is the same as saying "all lives matter."
It's as if people don't want socialism to get in the way of reparations.
It's as if progressivism should lead to socialism, but instead gets in its way.

And now that I have a project, I need to find myself a thesis director and enroll in some graduate program because I could do a HECK OF A LOT BETTER FOR BROOKINGS THAN SOME HOLIER THAN THOU MILLENIALS EFFING AROUND "ANALYZING" POSTS ON A FORUM.

If you don't like analysis you have no business in a graduate program. Plus the ones you can just "enroll" in are not worth anything.

that

The quotes around the word analysis are there to suggest what that team did does not constitute analysis.
I don't need mansplaining to me whether I have 'any business' in another graduate program. I'll decide later if I want another PhD. Silly child.

This entire thread oozes with implicit white privilege. Anyone who doesn't realize that white supremacy permeates every single aspect of life in this country. EVERY ASPECT.

Your white kids will be better treated by the police, the government, the world. That's not changing anytime soon. Pushing back against diversity is just another attempt to maintain the status quo of white supremacy.

So a white homeless person is going to be treated better than a Harvard-educated African American lawyer? The argument that white people are always treated better isn't always true. President Obama beat a white candidate. There are countless African American celebrities who are treated well. This isn't to say that there isn't racism against African Americans or other people of color but white supremacy DOES NOT permeate every single aspect of life in this country.

Ah I love this ignorant take. Look up what white privilege is, stop asking people to hand hold for you just because you want to believe there's no privilege to being white.
Proportionally there are more homeless POC, they are killed more often, moved more often, and treated worse.

Yes, it permeates into every aspect of this country, nice try.

that’s fine for you to believe that. governments are still not allowed to discriminate based on race, and that includes white. policy decisions can’t be based on animus toward a racial group, black or white or anything else.

You know who also thinks we should discriminate based on race and that race is the primary lens in which we should view things? Actual white supremacists.

Gaslighting is liberally throwing around terms like white supremacist and mitigating whiteness as a means to shut people out and expecting the privilege of not hearing any dissent whatsoever. It is possible to recognize that white privilege exists and that people are way too quick to label things as white privilege and white supremacist at the same time. It is also possible to support diversity and not support a government entity using someone's race as a pejorative as a way to achieve that. And if you do think it is perfectly fine for a government to use someone's race as a pejorative, you will find that you may have some company with some pretty abhorrent folks.

You’re right. I obviously think murder is on par with needlessly divisive government speech. Sorry I accused you of exaggerating things.
