[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, here's a 5 page thread on black parents worried about sending their kids to Wilson. I doubt they would even pretend to consider Dunbar or Roosevelt.

What does that make them?[/quote]

[b]Oh it's ok for black parents to worry about schools. But if white parents do, they're racists.[/b] [/quote]

Have you actually read the thread?  There are some specific concerns that black parents have that are different than white parents.  Those concerns are outlined in this and other threads.[/quote]

Sure. But it illustrates the point -- Rich, educated people are concerned about cohorts. AA parents have greater sensitivity to this for specific reasons, but the source of the concern is still the same. WHICH IS ABOUT SES AND NOT RACE.[/quote]

PP here.  Mr. All Caps--if you'd read the thread, you'd know that it's not only about SES.[/quote]

What do you think the "kids from SW" is referring to, then? It's about misbehavior coming from poorer kids, not the Deal contingent.[/quote]
