[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]-sigh- I'[m not the one making that argument PP.  Someone else was, and yeah, I don't think it's entirely helpful, but at the same time, I DID just watch Bowser give a big f-you to the white wards who didn't vote for her so while I don't think it's as easy as "poor white guys" I also must acknowledge that there may be an element of NIMBY occurring in certain circles in this city that still gain their power from black voters and have no reservations abut cronyism.

Regardless, accusing me of being a Fox-news watching conservative bigot is making the point that this is what happens if you do anything in Ward 6 besides tow the line of gentrifer guilt publicly.

It's tired, you're tired.  If you don't have anything to add to the discussion beyond you're haughty judgement, please go away.  I doubt you're even a ward 6 parent. [/quote]

It's what happens when you espouse race baiting arguments about getting screwed by the black power structure. That's a different thing from arguing about resourcing and continuing to invest in the ESs that are improving and could use a boost. You posted in support of the poor, downtrodden white guy. When you voluntarily lay down in the mud with pigs you get dirty.  Ward 6 certainly got screwed. But it isn't because Ward 6 is white, it's because Ward 6 didn't vote for Bowser. To attach a racist undertone would be as crazy as Bowser's people claiming that Ward 6 didn't vote for her because she's black. I didn't vote for her because I didn't think she was qualified and she basically hid from public comment or debates so she wouldn't be exposed.  See the symmetry there? Causation versus correlation.

When someone engages in racist nonsense and you agree with them because, [i]other than the racist part, [/i]they are making good points then don't get upset when someone calls you out on it. When white people complain that the minorities have all the power and that they are victims of racist it's embarrassing. And I say that as a white parent in Ward 6! So we're clear on this (and by all means please review the postings), the first appearance of race in my post came after they alleged that white people were being victimized by the black power structure.

If you can't admit that race is a HUGE factor in DC politics, then your grasp on reality and truth are tenuous at best. Pointing out that race in DC is an enormous factor in how decisions are made i not racist. But subtlety seems to confuse you[/quote]
