I think it's along the lines of: don't move in and start throwing your weight (money/education) around. Don't push the school to start changing how it does things right away. Be a good neighbor. [i]Don't call the cops for noise complaints or "junk" in someone's yard or some other petty reason. Don't call the cops on groups of teenagers "loitering." Don't get scared by seeing a group of black teens hanging out on the corner. Don't call the cops on black people at a[/i]ll.

I'm not at all saying you wouldn't be a good neighbor. But let's be real, many white people have a problem with entitlement due to how they grew up. They will go into a school and start pushing for changes right away that would benefit their special snowflake over other kids who have been there longer. They have a hard time understanding that their needs/issues/concerns shouldn't always get first priority. [/quote]

I am a white gentrifier in Anacostia. I have heard 3 people shot to death. I call the cops on black people shooting guns and selling hard drugs. Lol to calling for junk in the yard. Everyone on this board could learn a lot about how "great" these neighborhoods are. Its racism that allows these places to exist.
