[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Huh, what?  No, the "resource" is neighborhood schools.  Not white people.  Where did you get that?  The situation for educated white and black parents is obviously different vis a vis racism, but if wealthy black parents in large numbers are refusing to use their neighborhood schools, then that continues to be an issue of class and gentrification. Just likely much less hypocritical.  [/quote]

If wealthy white parents refuse to use their neighborhood school, you call that racism.  But if wealthy black parents make the same choice, you call that an issue of "class and gentrification."  Sounds to me like you're making a lot of inconsistent judgments about other people based on nothing but their skin color.[/quote]

I know you're pleased with your high school debate-level logic, but there actually are differences between racism and classism, and the race of the actor does matter. But more important, the impact on DC schools is not due to that relatively small group of affluent black parents. [/quote]
