[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think DCPS should be hosting events that exclude some students. I think that creating events that highlight diversity but are inclusive would be better. Private organizations and non-profits could host events that specifically cater to a demographic.  [/quote]

[b]Students of color are excluded of things their whole lives. [/b]If white students want to feel empowered they can easily find it, white faces are everywhere, white achievements are shoved to the forefront.

If you find this offensive take your all lives matter BS and move to Alabama. DC is the wrong city for you.

I suppose it’s because it has to do with black and brown kids that irks you. If it was an event for kids with special needs you could still come into the space.

[b]Not every space is for white people and it’s ok. This is not about equality, it’s about equity. Learn the difference and you’ll know why this event is ok.[/b][/quote]

How? Where?  In DC (DC area) I have never seen or heard of "only white students are invited".  [/quote]

It seems you don’t understand white privilege, institutionalized racism, or just plain racism. This isn’t the place where I’d explain but do some research. Also look at who the most popular social media stars are and how much more quickly they rise. Tik tok is known for basing popularity on skin tone.

Apps like tik tok, instagram, YouTube,etc might seem insignificant to us as adults but to these kids it’s everything.

Also white people don't need a sign that say ‘only white people’ if they only want that, it’s their attitudes that makes it abundantly clear.[/quote]
