[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You could consider DC. Many white people in DC are more progressive, well-read and sophisticated than the ones in MoCo and there are also very few Asians. Very different vibe from MoCo if you look in Kalorama Park, Capitol Hill, Glover and Woodley Park. The white parents whose kids attend public school understand the city’s dynamics, racial demographics and are very tuned into local politics, etc. Your kids could go to public school there and not be the only Black one, have more Black teachers and won’t or feel isolated. Or you could even consider a private school - they aren’t all ridiculously expensive and are also diverse. [/quote] Uuum I don't know if you ever actually lived in DC and which sides you actually live on. But most of the whites in DC were part of the whole gentrification of DC. During that whole gentrification process was pushing the Blacks/African Americans to PG County. Like around the early 2000s? The WORST types of racists are the limousine liberals who try to act and smile in front of other people but really have a sense of superiority or hate. Malcolm X used to preach about watching out for those type of people. It happens in MCPS and Montgomery County too where there was that issue in Kennedy back in the 90s or so, where people were complaining about certain groups thinking they were in charge of the school and programs. And photos of the BLM protests in Germantown, where there was not a photo of a single person of color at those protests.[/quote] Yes - I’m Black and I’ve lived in DC with kids in public schools and will be returning soon too, after a brief hiatus.
