[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hilarious. Self-segregation is the ultimate goal of just about every parent in DC area. People pay insane amounts for housing and spend hours each day commuting to their jobs so that their kids can go to segregated schools.  And when they succeed, someone writes an article denouncing it?  Where does the author live? In Anacostia? Or does he simply avoid the issue by sending his kids to St.Albans? [/quote]

At least you are acknowledging it happens. I am getting the impressions some in this thread think it just worked out that way. Just as much as minorities have continued to live in pg and Balt, non-minorities have fled those areas. This is no accident people. Also economics and the cost of housing plays a huge role. [/quote]
I don't just acknowledge that "it happens." I assert that people want it that way - really badly. They demonstrate it with their feet and their wallets every day! Now, here's the question - why does the media always feel the need to criticize the choice the people here choose to make? I thought that we were a democratic country where the will of the people is respected. [/quote]

Does the media criticize?  I think the media kinds of ignores it, sidesteps it, because it's uncomfortable to admit that people are racist -- and not just the usual suspects, i.e. uneducated conservatives from southern states.  It seems to me the media ignores this.

I would add that I do think it is sad.  I don't like that racism and racial segregation still exist to the degree they do.  And I think even the people guilty of it aren't okay with it, or they wouldn't go to such great lengths to suggest that it isn't racial.[/quote]
