[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too have been enlightened it is not the race of people that will give me the saviour complex it is the class of people that will be my stumbling block. If we only had a group of PWT to counteract the situation.[/quote] I think your comment actually reflects a reality of the situation. The divisions are overwhelmingly class-based. I'm white, and would have no problem sending my child to a school that was 90% middle-class and 99% black. I have serious reservations about sending my kid to a middle-school that is 15% middle-class and 99% black (or 99% white). Obviously the overwhelming majority of middle-class black parents have come to that same conclusion. A school that has 10% poor and academically struggling kids has a shot at serving those kids while serving the broader community of students. A school that has 90% poor and academically struggling kids has no chance.[/quote]
