[quote=Anonymous]I don't agree that we hold on to our segregation tightly. The nation's made great strides. But yes, the segregation today is not about race, it's about income level. And a lot of that started in the 1980s with "trickle down economics", which gave us stagnant wages while the rich got richer, and has since then been decimating the middle class more and more. DC is fairly unique in that a lot of people from outside come to DC - and bring with them advanced degrees and high powered resumes. In less-dynamic communities around the nation you will find plenty of locales where a majority of the poor folks are white. Mere fact of one's skin color does NOT bring "privilege".[/quote]
