[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So let me get this right, according to you, the black kids at BCC are all poor and live in apartment buildings? They aren't the kids of lawyers, business people, and feds - many of the people who are relatively affluent who live in Silver Spring but still go to BCC (that really gets stuck in your craw, doesn't it?). The black kids at BCC - you're trying to tell me - are the same socio-economic background as the black kids who live on Maple Avenue and on the eastern side of University Blvd and in the apartment buildings on Piney Branch and  Flower Avenue? Get the hell out with your nonsense racism. News Flash: Black kids can be the kids of the same types of successful professionals who are white and go to Rosemary Hills - BCC.

Imagine that just because the black kids at BCC are black, doesn't mean they are poor. And so, their parents have the time, resources, and perhaps education, to fully support their children's academics.

Not all of the kids at Blair who are black are poor - to the contrary. But the streets I flagged below include some economically disadvantaged neighborhoods where kids may not have the resources to do well academically - or may be working after school to help pay for family expenses. It's not an apple to apple comparison any more than comparing a wealthy white kid from Potomac is to comparing a white child who lives in a poorer neighborhood in the county.

Lastly, [b]why are you so invested in tearing down Blair[/b]? It's crazy how many posters resent Blair's success. Get a grip. [/quote]
