[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For everyone who admits privilege and wants for things to be equal, would you give your jobs (which you received due to privilege) to an underprivileged person? Would you give up your child's college admission so that an under privileged person could go in their stead? [/quote] Everyone likes to "say" they value diversity and equality but when push comes to shove, they don't. They wring their hands over "bad" (i.e. brown) neighborhoods and schools. If they want to live in the city, they turn their nose up at DCPS and choose private. If they can't afford to send to private or live in the wealthy white enclaves they choose charter schools. They'd rather DIE than give up job promotions to less privileged co-workers or their children's chances at admission to elite universities.[/quote]
