[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. http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/572935.page What does that make them?[/quote] Oh it's ok for black parents to worry about schools. But if white parents do, they're racists. [/quote] I'm not the pp you're addressing. But if you're one of those who bristle at the mere hint of being called racist, "black parents do it, too" is not an argument you want to take up. It displays an (unfortunate, but understandable) ignorance about decision-making for black parents. Expressing that ignorance comes off as . . . well, you know. To be fair, it's equally ignorant to label white parents' decisions as racist with no consideration for other factors. Awareness on both sides is helpful.[/quote]
