White flight to the Sun Belt which has the highest percentage of African Americans in the US?

You’re finished. Game, set, match.


Are you deliberately ignoring that most southern cities are heavily segregated or are you just ignorant?


Do you live in a majority minority neighborhood?


DP, but yes. Lots of neighborhoods in the DC area are. I'm a Southerner. My kid is getting a much less segregated upbringing where we live outside DC than I did in the South.

You might have a point if this were Vermont Rural Moms but it isn't.


Oh no, I’m not asking about DC. Your street, your school. The classes your kid sits in. The mostly white magnet programs don’t count either.


I was talking about my street and our school. My kid isn't in a mostly white magnet program either. I'm talking about day to day life. The kids she plays with, the kids who come to her birthday party, the families she knows at church. It's much more integrated.

You sound like a lovely person.


I am.

And I have zero patience for the idiot a-holes trying to destroy our country.


Real liberals would go to the SEC and make it better. You’re just a hypocrite. You’re why Trump is president and young men love Charlie Kirk. Congrats, you’ve really effed up.

Lol, no. Gaslighting POS.

UAB isn’t Alabama. You people are so dumb lol you don’t even know your SEC schools and you keep citing stats for the worst ones. Too afraid to talk about UF and UGA huh?



Run UGA against various schools…75% select Penn, 76% select Princeton, 78% select Brown. Those were the only Ivy comparisons where they had enough data for UGA.

For UF, 67% pick Penn. Thats the only Ivy comparison with enough data.

Did you honestly think it would be different?


That isn’t a reliable tool and you know it. Plenty of kids prefer the SEC. You should get out more, really.


It’s the most reliable tool there is and what PP was trying to refute.

Most kids don’t apply to both and even fewer kids are accepted to both.

You are the one who shit posts constantly on this thread…so talk about getting out more.


+1

Facts don’t fit the narrative.


What’s the narrative?


That there are tons of kids turning down Ivy League schools for UGA or UF.


Where was that posted?


“Too afraid to talk about UF and UGA huh?”


Where was “tons of kids turning down IVY League schools for UGA and UF”posted?


Context of the thread. Duh.

Or maybe we all agree that the vast majority of kids are NOT turning down Ivy League schools for UGA and UF?



I’d say the kids going to UGA and UF don’t apply because they know the SEC is what they want. If they get honors they’re probably Ivy quality, just not what they wanted. This isn’t hard lol take some deep breaths


Great. So we all agree that the vast majority of kids are NOT turning down Ivy League schools for UGA and UF?

Which experience sounds more appealing to most 18 year olds? I know which my kids would choose and it’s not snow and New England.


I tried to sell snow and the Northeast/Midwest to my Southern kid but they chose the South after winter tours of a couple Northern schools.

How diverse is your neighborhood? What percentage of your kid’s school is on free lunch? If you can’t answer these questions then you’re no better than the people you hate.


Not equivalent in any way, but…

Mixed housing, including affordable housing
~30% FRM
<40% white
