[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Culture of low expectations-  assume that balck parents care most about crap food and delicate white parents. B
 News flash, black parents want academic rigor and high expectations and better options for their kids. [/quote]

Haven't you heard? In the new era of the woke-police, white people need to assume that all black children come from single family households (or foster care) and are incapable of advancing academically beyond wherever they are in school right now. To assume black kids (like all kids) can do better and push black kids and demand more from them (as white people and teachers would with all other kids) is apparently now racist. Oh, and black kids who are morbidly obese in ES need to be praised for their "curves" and their parents similarly praised for loving them enough to feed them food that causes diabetes and other major health concerns.

It is no wonder that the families of top performing black kids flee DCPS and HRCS before our kids internalize these limiting messages about their capabilities and worth.     [/quote]

Imagine waking up this wrong and angry. Go back to bed[/quote]

Yes, I am angry. Angry that a small bunch of loud black people have decided that lowered expectations somehow means "equity" and that they've guilted a bunch of white people into thinking being an ally means reinforcing negative stereotypes about my black kids. But I do so enjoy the white liberal masses on DCUM lecturing POC about how we need to be more sensitive to the needs of the black community.

(This is where PP will come back and say "she's black". Never fails on DCUM that anytime someone's liberal guilt or condescending white concern gets called out they miraculously turn out to be black. You'd think 90% of DCUM is POC!)[/quote]

Have you tried to correct the loud black people or do you just mock the liberal white people?

Once you all figure this out, let me know where I can be an ally.[/quote]

You have it all figured out! In the battle for equitable and quality education where black and brown kids are victims of lowered expectations the true victims here are...white people who are made uncomfortable. Please, white lady, tell us how we can advocate for our children and express concern in a manner that makes YOU most comfortable, because in the end making white women feel comfortable is what maters most.

Rambling PP here - they’re literally asking what you would like them to do to help. They didn’t express any discomfort. I understand the tendency to want to rage at the world, especially on an anonymous forum, but there are plenty of us here who do equity work bc we don’t believe that any demo should have to face lowered expectations or racism. So when we ask what we can do to help, we do so because this is your lived experience and we don’t want to speak for you. [/quote]

Here's a tip for you my white social justice warrior. Don't tell a black man he's "angry" or "raging at the world" if you want to start a productive conversation. It works about as well as telling a woman who shows conviction, concern or anger that she's "being emotional". [/quote]
