[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^while everyone bickers over ideology and grabs at $, it is poor black people who are paying the price...why don't black victims matter, only black criminals? How many dead black DC children will be ENOUGH to merit a change of course? [/quote]

Because some of the folks demanding these types of racial equity analyses don't care about Black people at all. They care about increasing their own power and reach, and anti racism is how they do it. They can say and do anything they want in the name of anti racism. And those who oppose are per se racist.

Unfortunately one part of the equity movement is an industry and jobs program. It kind of depends on problems NEVER getting solved, even worsening [/quote]

And it seems to depend on perpetuating historic beliefs even when they are not currently valid, like "systemic racism" - As pointed out, DC has been black-run for decades, and to claim that poor blacks in DC are poor because whitey is oppressing them would have had some basis in fact in the 1950s with big centralized urban renewal projects that displaced blacks but no longer has much bite as an argument for the last 30 years or so.[/quote]
