[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is so true:

"There’s no longer the belief that black people are racially inferior but that black culture is inferior."[/quote]

Oh wow. Such a true statement[/quote]

In examining my feelings, I feel like what I "think" I know about black culture is inferior-- but I also acknowledge that those perceptions are based on stereotypes. I think in my heart of hearts I see all my middle class black friends and family (and I have many black friends and am connect to a black family) as exceptions to black culture and not the rule. In my head I think of 2-parent, college educated, upwardly mobile blacks as embracing white culture. Totally unfair and most probably wrong -- but when I read this sentence it got me thinking and I think this is what I really feel underneath.

I need to work on this.[/quote]

The phrase gutted me a little for very similar reasons. I’m choosing to send my kids to public because it aligns with our beliefs but they do live in one of the whitest school districts in the country....[/quote]
