[quote=Anonymous][i]"Institutional racism. Clearly you have not heard of it; and have no understanding that racism did not die with Jim Crow. In fact there are some rather convincing arguments that Jim Crow was merely replaced with a more effective and subversive system of racial oppression in this country. Michelle Alexander anyone? "Have not made the choice to pursue higher education". Clearly you have not a clue about the way in which poverty and racism impacts one's access to choice in this city and beyond. Your ignorance regarding this fact is laughable given the topic of this thread--access to Deal and Wilson. Who has access and who do those who have access think should be denied? "[/i]

Societies have always been cruel to people who experience generational poverty of any creed.  Something about blaming “Institutional racism” for the generational poverty of many AAs , reminds me of poor white people blaming illegal immigrants (or just all people of color) for their generational poverty, or poor Christian or Muslim people blaming Jews for their generational poverty.  Blame could just be a comforting (however noxious) answer for people who are in desperate straits.
