[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hispanics in Fairfax County are an easy target for the DCUM-types, maybe because Hispanics here just want the opportunity to work and stay quiet because they're glad to have escaped war-torn Central America.

Now just imagine if Fairfax County's poor Hispanic population was instead replaced with the similar high-poverty African-American population from Prince George's county. Can you even fathom how it would look if the FCPS School Board was behaving in the same way as it is now, concentrating all the poor African-American families into a few poor schools, and listening to screaming rich parents who don't want to go to school with poor black children?[/quote]
That already happens though?[/quote]

Hardly. Hayfield, Mt. Vernon, and South County share the highest % of black students, around 25%. Totally different situation if Lewis, Justice, Annandale, Herndon, and Falls Church HS were all 50% African-American instead of Hispanic. Would the boundary-change deniers have the guts to be so publicly vocal in their repulsion to those schools? I think we'd be having very different conversations if those were the county's demographics.[/quote]
Yeah Black people may give a little more resistance, but the suspected white supremacists would still speak out.  Probably more so since they have more of a hatred towards Blacks than any other race.[/quote]
