You distort every point ever so slightly to create the adversary you wish you had so you can be the good guy. Typical privileged white dude yelling at not privileged white dudes to watch their privilege.

Racism is absolutely a problem today. It is not, however, the driver of 90% of the decisions or opinions that posters on DCUM like to call racist. In the rare occasions that one accepts that it isn't the driver, one brings up the definition of racism that makes it an institutional problem. Therefore if your statement or action isn't actively anti-racist or seeking equity, it is racist. That isn't sustainable.

I didn't see the PP you bullied say that racism and white privilege don't exist. She did say that they are used as just a tactic to shut down debate. Just because a baseball bat is used as a weapon doesn't mean it isn't also bona fide sports equipment.

What do YOU believe drives the achievement gap at Wilson?  How would you address is?  Do you believe a long history of unequal treatment of black people by civil institutions (segregated schools, closed professions, restrictive deeds, segregated public facilities, employment discrimination, government investment in homeownership overwhelmingly in white neighborhoods) has anything to do with this achievement gap or not?  If not, what do you think are the causes?[/quote]
