[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm done with all of you. Just do me the courtesy of taking those MLK posters off your houses. [/quote]

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."[/quote]

But only learn to live together if my child's school has a certain % or above of not poor kids.

[b]If not, then I'll just move to the suburbs and learn to live with people that look like me.[/b] [/quote]

No-- it's "if not then I'll just move to the burbs and learn to live with people who make as much money as me."

Why is this so hard to accept?[/quote]

It's hard to accept because I'm actually minimally educated in the history of race in this country, and so I know that the intersection between race an "people who make as much money as me" is not accidental or random, but rather due to a history of entrenched racism.  [/quote]

So then all rich people are racist? Gotcha.[/quote]

No.  The point is, you don't get a pass from racism by claiming "all I want to do is be around people of my same SES level."[/quote]

You are really trying to stretch this. All the UMC black people have the same concerns and flock to the same schools as well.

But whatever- if you want to label my choice to put my child's education ahead of solving race relations in this country, then yes. I am a racist.[/quote]
