[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Do tell, how is anti-racism racism? I’d love your specific answer, especially give that race is a primary variable in student performance even when controlled for SES. Poverty is not a proxy for race. [b]Black[/b] men raised in wealthy families are less likely than their white wealthy male peers to graduate from college.

Some are even recognizing that it is used by racists to prevent solidarity between AS, AA, and other people of color. [/quote]
