PP, your composition was okay until you dropped this line. [b]Perhaps you are the one against integration and diversity. Why live in DC if you have a problem with its population? Move to VA or better yet WV.[/b][/quote]

Excuse me, I'm an AA Washingtonian born and raised here.  I'm not going anywhere!  DC is my home.  I'm also an advocate of diversity.   Look I know what I'm talking about because those are my experiences attending DCPS  and working in social services.  I'm sorry if my reality and experiences are not PC enough for you.  However, this is the reality of many children growing up in DC.    I also stand corrected when I say that many folks here in DC are against integration because it's the truth.  Sometimes the truth hurts, but pretending that certain realities don't exist doesn't help with matters.  So, please have a seat and let me school you on what it is like being a minority child growing up in DC.   If you really care, then volunteer your time to make things better instead of hiding behind the veil of PC.   [/quote]

PP, I'm glad you're AA like me. Our opinions clearly differ, but in my experience white people have being resistant to integration and diversity. I send my child to a predominantly white school, black children are less than 5%. My attempts at scheduling play dates and making friends with the majority have failed miserably presumably because of the color of my skin. I really cannot attribute it to anything else. [/quote]

On the point of play dates, I to am an AA with kids at a predominantly white school where black children are less than 5%. We have had numerous play dates and parties over the years, very close friends of my kids who have visited our home etc.  [/quote]
