Good christ...you're a long winded fucker aren't you?

That's the problem with you dumpy old liberals...you never can figure out when you're preaching to the choir.

BTW, race is a misnomer. Morphological characteristics aren't found in tandem regardless of ethnic identity. Poor “white” schools are just as bad as poor “black or brown” schools whether it be urban or rural. Delineating problems to the “racial” issue is the easy way out and the feel good method of dealing with a problem.

If you read my previous post, you will note that I listed race as a factor in the evolution of the current problems with urban public schools. I didn't say that it was the only problem, nor did I say that it is the SAME kind of problem that it was 30 years ago.

There are lots of ways to use race as a feel-good tactic. "Poor me, my great-great-grandpa was a slave, my great-grandpa got lynched for thinking he was entitled to talk man to man with the man, my grandpa got shot for thinking fighting in a war entitled him to vote" is one of them (usually used by someone who could add "and my daddy got shot for wearing blue on the wrong street.").

There is another way to use race as a feel-good tactic. One of them is trying to deny the role that race played in the history of this country. While it may be true that poor white schools TODAY are no better off than predominatly minority schools (in most parts of the country, anyway, and that is NOT a reference to the South at all) - it certainly wasn't the case until relatively recently.
