For some reason, nobody will point a finger at you or your parents blaming you for being racist or whatever for going to Catholic High and not staying and trying to help our public schools. But whites like me who went to Catholic or other private schools are accused of this. When in reality, whoever decided to send us to Catholic did it because they could and they thought it would provide us with a better situation in life. Simple as that.

what is worrisome is not people's outright racism. Few people like that still exist. What is troublesome is the implicit racial xenophobia,bias, and stereotypes that still lingers today. Because it literally seeps its way into everything we do.
I'm not saying we can just pile on family's for doing what's best for their kids. That not fair. But what we can do is dig to the core of some of our societal problems and fears. white flight, even it was conceived, was purely done out of xenophobia. I suggest, as a nation, it's better for our unity if we discuss our problems and grievances as opposed to running away from them and leaving the disenfranchised to build with the mess. That's what areas like Glen oaks, istromus, and Capitol
High represent today

Actually, he is not.
