I am sure you know everything there is to know about black people. Good job.

A.) It's every bit as much of a reality and a fact as this morning's sunrise.

B.) It's not about race - just as it's a problem within segments of the AA community, so too is it a problem within segments of the white community.

The sooner people accept this and confront it, as opposed to hiding, dodging and deflecting, the sooner it can be addressed.

It is about race when the op claims they know ALL about black people, can speak for every single one of them. They are making it a racial issue.

Right. It used to be named Preparatory High School for Colored Youth.

So, where should the white kids living in the neighborhood go?

To Dunbar, if they want. The fact that a school has a long history as a school serving African Americans in this city doesn't meant that it's forbidden for white students.

Harvard was initially a school for white scholars. Does that mean that people of color shouldn't apply if it's where they want to go?

Private, Banneker, Mckinley or Walla

You forgot to mention? Right. The way you presented your statement "blacks used to value education" did not allude that you "forgot to mention some whites don't value education" too. The black community at large is aware there are issues with education and family support but the bigger issue at play is having to deal with profiling from people like you.

Oh so sorry you were too busy making blanket staements to qualify them. Go fuck yourself.

First of all, OP was never gonna send his kid anywhere near Dunbar or any other school with less than 90% white enrollment.

Secondly, the article is referring to SEGREGATION ERA Dunbar. God forbid any group have an understanding of its own history and achievements.

Good job, OP.
