[quote=Anonymous][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. [b]And a lot of that started in the 1980s with "trickle down economics"[/b], 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] As opposed to the booming '70s?? When the term "stagflation" entered the lexicon? The '80s really were a great decade economically.[/quote]
