in DFW, the foreclosures are highest in the far suburbs, populated by drum roll....middle class whites.

I guess banks should redline these suburbs.

More blacks are going to college than 20 years ago I think. Is that a disaster too?

Kind of strange to make these conclusions that it is loans to blacks without a single data point.

But for racists, it is pretty convincing I would think.

Speaking of which, are you still contending whites for destroyed public schools because the public schools can't operate properly when only blacks go to them and whites homeschool their kids instead?

Do you think if you keep saying it it will be true? Show me ONE post on this board I have ever made that shows me to be racist?

And I don't mean the PC "if you're white and say anything about a black person that coudl be construed as negative, you're a racist". I mean true racism.

Sounds racist to me. He must think whites are needed in the schools to help the blacks keep up ...

It's hard for me to understand your poor writing. But I will give you the statistic that I heard yesterday from a coworker: 95% of the white kids who live in the Dallas Independent School District do not attend DISD schools.

Imagine if all the middle class families in your school district suddenly removed their children. Would that have an effect? I want to hear your answer about how this would have no effect. TIA.

Yeah, you'd have lower student to teacher ratios. Isn't that a good thing?
