[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish SP residents didn't feel the need to constantly defend Shepherd ES on here. It's a wonderful school and serves the neighborhood very well. If people can't see past their biases to acknowledge that, they can stay on the other side of the park. The neighborhood is just fine the way it is and doesn't need validation from people who are about to be demographically left in the dust. Bye Felicia![/quote]

It could take centuries before incomes are even close to parity. That doesn’t feel dusty. 600 years being dominated to submissiveness is a handicap that is not going disappear overnight. Let’s not get too cocky. Hell SP was all white in most of our parents life time and is losing black residents quicker then it is replacing them. Both the wealth gap and education gaps growing. Mutiple clutures have shown that the ruling party doesn’t have to be the majority.

SP was not all white in most of our parents life time.  I'm 49 and SP was not all white when my parents were growing up.  It's been diverse for a very long time.[/quote]

SP was built all white and had covenants just like Chevy Chase until 48. It was still mostly white in the 50s and didn’t really tip until the 60s. If your parents weren’t alive then you’re too young to have an opinion on the subject. It was abandoned completely after the riots of 68 just like the majority of EOTP DC. What happened after that is affluent AA fleeing the urban decay moved there for the quality housing stock and quieter life style. It enjoyed being the epicenter of the black social scene while U street struggled. That said it hasn’t been that long and things change.
