[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is not okay for a government agency to make disparaging remarks about any race, full stop. At best the wording was clumsy. An apology or at least clarification is in order[/quote]

You're right, but DC is doing this now. I think the discourse surrounding vaccination was another recent example. We had government officials openly demonizing groups of eligible citizens for actually doing exactly what they were supposed to do to sign up for appointments, but the language used to justifying cutting off parts of the city from a shared resource made them sound like monsters.

It's a scary trend and I think DC needs to get the strong message that yes, they are responsible for providing city services to ALL their citizens.[/quote]

LOL. Limiting whitening is not a disparaging remark. Limiting white privilege is not a bad thing for a district to do, I'm actually quite surprised they worded it the way they did.
But of course all the commenters getting angry about the wording are those who don't believe in white privilege, don't care, or just ignorant.[/quote]

I do not believe white privilege is as significant a factor in the course of an individual's achievement, or indeed in the course of world (or even just American) history, as you, CRT, and apparently now the DC government make it out to be. Your paradigm is faulty and it needs to stop being accepted as fact.[/quote]

Tell that to George Floyd and the others.[/quote]

It was tragic, it was wrong, those police were racist. But it simply does not follow that cities have any grounds for denying appropriate services, educational or public health-related, to white citizens. The city needs to serve everyone. The minute it crafts a bad-faith justification for not serving everyone they are themselves very wrong.[/quote]

Mmmmmm we are starting to no longer accept,' but but they are racist.' No this system is racist and what about those before him? The jurors who let all those officers go not guilty?

I'm sorry the United States is founded and build on white supremacy and 'mitigating the whitening of a feeder pattern' is only a drop in the bucket. Hopefully all non-white people will finally wake the F up with all the things that are being brought to light.

If we have people claiming they aren't racists simply saying, 'That was a tragedy but my white children...' I mean we are doomed to just have more and more hate in this world. Because white privilege is an issue the seeps into every facet of life for people, how nice it must be not to see that, how nice it must be to not want to acknowledge that as reality. How nice.
