"The system may be uneequal, but so is the competion." Great way to put it. Can I share it with my kids - could alleviate some stress. BTW good thing some readers don't understand it.

Whites are always the center of attention. It's a blessing and a curse.

+1. Black PP you posted earlier about giving up on residential segregation. It's never going to be perfectly mixed.

Underestimate the competition at your own peril. I'm a black lawyer. I got a 174 on my LSAT and had a 3.95 GPA. If you come at me thinking I'm some underqualified token, you're going to get your ass handed to you.

Question for the black lawyer. May I ask what motivated you and how overcame any obstacles? Thank you

Hard work is fun. My black dad had SAT test books around the house growing up. He's a lawyer, too. Standardized tests are a game, like chess. Thinking circles around entitled douchebags is gleeful. Frustrating people's expectations is hilarious. You can do it. Thurgood Marshall was a brilliant lawyer. Black history is full of creative, resourceful people who can survive anything. You can survive law school -- you can kill it.

I dont remember the exact numbers but in the 90's there were approx 60% white kids and the rest were other races, It has gradually switched over and is now only about 8% white.
So either the white people are moving or they are all sending their kids private which I find hard to believe. Makes me sad.

I think we may live in the same area! It is sad. There seem to be plenty of white people in my neighborhood but many of them are elderly and if they are young enough to have kids, send their kids to private schools. Mine will be going to public though!

Why is it sad? Seriously. White people are not endangered. It cracks me up to hear white people lamenting this given their historic lack of empathy for, say, Native Americans who they almost completely wiped out. There are plenty of y'all. Calm down.

I am the original PP, It is sad that white people dont want to send their kids to school because there are more black kids. That to me is sad.

And I'm the second PP who meant the same thing. I don't feel endangered at all. It's sad to me that my neighbors scramble to send their kids to private schools to avoid the mainly black/some brown kids.

Not sure about the original PP, but I live in Burtonsville. The demographics of the schools are completely different than that of the area in general.

I live near Glenmont, and the demographics of our neighborhood are also different from the demographics of the schools.

Our neighbors also want their kids going to mostly white/asian schools and tend to send their kids to private. It's sad, and our kids are going to public schools. I grew up in a majority black area in the south, it was fine.

I would look at places like Prince William County, Loudoun County, Frederick and Howard Counties as places where that sort of turnover will take place. Meanwhile, DC, Hyattsville, Silver Spring, Arlington etc will prosper.

Likely areas adjacent to mass transit like Metro and Purlple Line will continue to do well.

Silver spring and Hyattsville suck and areghetto. This is the correction
Meanwhile, DC, Bethesda, North Arlington and McLean inside the beltway will prosper.

Silver Spring and Hyattsville are both actually pretty awesome. But live wherever you want, dude. We don't miss you.

White flight out of the suburbs? This essentially describes what has happened to PG county during the 90s and 2000's. There's been a slight rebound in the past several years, probably due to the pressure of housing prices in other parts of the DC Metro area.

I grew up in PG county, and left around 2002.

Not really flight so much, not panicked, but in many areas steady replacement as older whites die or move to retirement, and POC's make up more of those who move in.

In Charles County I think. Maybe cheaper parts of MoCo. In Nova definitely in PWC and Stafford. Maybe a bit in southern FFX, or has that already peaked? As noted above, mostly more affluent POCs in NW Fairfax and in Loudoun. Not sure about West Alexandria, I know there are still elderly whites in many of the high rises around Landmark, but that area is already mostly POC I think.

Is this a joke? So you discount an entire county? All the Latinos in VA. Are you serious? It's coming snowflake.
