[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for the white people that take issue with the language used in the presentation or with a school hosting an event aimed at students of color:  what are you worried about?  This country is yours, it was founded by you for you and it'll be another 400 years before there is anything resembling true equality amongst the races.  So what are scared of exactly?  That some black person gets an opportunity that your child doesn't?  Your child will be fine  - better than fine - without that particular opportunity.  White people, calm down.  [b]The power dynamic in this country isn't going to shift in favor of any black or brown people any time soon,[/b] even with some of the efforts that are being taken.

Co-signed by another UMC black parent. The head start your children have over ours is so great that if they don't continue to be on top, you've done something wrong. Not DCPS, not me, not the system. Either your child is lackluster or you are. The opportunity hoarding you continue to do will ensure that we are fighting for the crumbs and peanuts that remain for many more generations. [/quote]

The power dynamic in this country shifted in favor of black people when, er, a black president, married to a descendant of slaves, was elected, twice.  Shifted enough? No.  Shifted, absolutely.[/quote]

Oh come on. [/quote]
