[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Redlining kept black people out of white neighborhoods for decades.  White schools were better.  White people continued to buy in white neighborhoods and since white people had the money, prices went up there the most.  Most white people dont want to live in a formerly redlined mostly black neighborhood.  Since the white schools got more resources, white kids did better.  They had the wealth and could afford the outside help for their kids.  Now today there is a history of better performance in traditionally white neighborhoods that keeps the middle class and wealthy moving there.  [/quote]

First, the resources in all MCPS schools are allocated using the same formula, with extra funding for schools with more FARM students.  The ‘good’ schools have less resources than the not so good schools.
Second, it is human nature that parents want to find a neighborhood that is safe.  Please notice where UMC and MC  AA families live.  They don't live in NE or SE DC.  Most of UMC AA families in DC live in NW..  Will you accuse them racists sts?[/quote]
The white people who don't want to mingle with poor black and brown people are racists.[/quote]
