[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]It's easy to forget in a city where [b]whites have long been in the minority[/b] but in most of the country (and among some people in this city) this is still true. Racism against blacks is exacerbated by class divisions but it goes beyond class in a persistent way.[/quote] Hi. Nancy Nudge here. I feel obligated to correct this error whenever I see it on DCUM (and I see it a -lot- on vibrant threads in the DC schools forum). Whites haven't "long been in the minority" in DC. They were in the minority for about 30 of the city's 200 years. [b]Right now, blacks are not a majority.[/b] Sure, those years from 1960 to 2000 were powerful and interesting and historic. But that was, in the end, an entry on a much longer timeline. [/quote] Source?[/quote]
