[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][i]That would be lovely, if only it were remotely true. The urban core is largely where insecure, mostly white careerists who are afraid to be more than 10 minutes away from their current jobs have gathered. They have no qualms about displacing older, AA residents of the city, nor any reservations about engaging in cut-throat tactics to get their children into "desirable" schools and local charters. In larger numbers, their overwhelming sameness and smugness becomes almost unbearable. They talk a good game when it comes to matters of diversity, but are profoundly uncomfortable among those of lesser means. Their sanitized, Whole Foods version of urban life has redefined what it means to be "cookie-cutter" today. [/i]

I'll be even blunter: I don't want to live near you. Period. If my presence displaces you from the street, I think it your movement away is an improvement among all dimensions.

I think of you as no better than some hill-billy racist yokel. [/quote]

Fuck off, you smug yuppie. The hillbillies didn't end up in the hills because restrictive covenants and Jim Crow laws kept them from living anywhere else for decades.  You ought to learn some history. [/quote]

Nice ability to converse in a reasoned manner.

That black people have historically been oppressed is beyond debate. That the lingering effects, along with continued racism, plague progress also goes without saying.

But none of this should be used to justify your casual racism. You're a bigot, plain-and-simple. You don't like being called a bigot? Well then, don't speak and think like a bigot. [/quote]

It only goes without saying by folks like you, because you don't like hearing it.   You like it much better when we're shuttled off to Prince George's and Prince William where we are out of sight and you can prattle on about some new food truck or brewery. [/quote]

Hey, even bigots have friends![/quote]
