[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is where Carville gets it right. https://www.vox.com/22338417/james-carville-democratic-party-biden-100-days

The messaging on important racial issues is drowned out by borderline shaming jargon like “be less white” or “mitigating the projected whiteness”. The republicans are great and messaging and picking this stuff up, broadcasting it via Fox and boom now the Dems are out of power.

The same with this school reorganization business. Stop using divide jargon. You’re turning people off from an important message. Also, before just enacting knee-jerk policy try and base it on projected outcomes and not on a reaction to racial soundbites from social justice warriors.[/quote]

No one is proposing school reorganization, no one is enacting knee jerk policy. Stop focusing on “racial sound bites” and join the conversation (if you even live here).[/quote]

Hi, I live here and probably pay more in taxes than you do. I’ve been here since Kim’s Karate was a thing, Hechinger’s was actual hardware store and People’s drugs were all over town and not called CVS. I’ve seen crack heads in the 90’s. I met Mayor Barry. I listened to Rare Essence and Backyard since I was 12. You, my friend, are probably an out of towner. I am also a realist and am frustrated with how intractable poverty is in DC. You can’t blame everything on the “centering of whiteness”. You also need sound policy. We don’t have great policy makers.[/quote]

Hechts, Jhoon Rhee, Hahn Shoes. Yes, intractable poverty is a problem. But what everyone in this discussion is reacting to is DCPS calling out that more and more white people choosing only Wilson schools is also a problem. This whole thread is people trying to deflect from that issue, often in really offensive ways.[/quote]

Many people across DC are focused on Wilson or bust, which is because the alternatives are limited.

More and more white people have been choosing DC and DCPS.  That, combined with the above, creates the problem.  [/quote]
