[quote=Anonymous]No, I think many incidents are first time encounters with each other as a race.  I can honestly say that I grew up in DC and did not interact with a white student until I went to college.  The kicker for that one is, I went to a HBCU and thought it was mighty strange to see a white person on campus.  As cliche' it is but the seen in the Drumline movie, I personally experienced it.

Now I am back in the city and all of sudden I am in a diverse situation.  Mostly my everyday environment is exclusively all black except when it comes to DCPS politics.  Have a good rapport with black chancellor but have displeasure with the white parenting base.  I find my DD black principal an excellent administrator but her white supervisor very gossipy.  I have observed the black faculty members very engaging and supportive.  But I am very skeptical of the white support groups who come across with the "saviour" complex.

As I stated I had a good rapport with the black chancellor and before that I was on excellent terms with Asian Chancellor.  But I despised the former white Parent Engagement Coordinator who I thought was very undermining and I cheered when her resignation was accepted.

I wouldn't say I am a racist but if I could coin a word I would say I am rarelist.  Which my description would be that I am rarely around whites in this city.[/quote]
