Blue dots are white folks are green dots are black folks.

    Here's the insidious part of the anti-CRT fearmongering: Kids learn about MLK all the time, and for decades. Is THAT CRT? We learned about slavery and John Brown in school, and how it was bad. Is THAT CRT?

    Where do they draw the line? Why is a student being a victim of bullying for being a racial minority seen as acceptable but we always get these "two wrongs don't make a right" lectures when discussing teaching history, so as not to repeat its mistakes?

    If you ask me, it's their first step into eventually denying Jim Crow or slavery altogether.

    The lil greenish spot in Kirkwood/Webster Groves is interesting. What's surprising is not that it's there, but that there aren't more of them.

    Why do Americans hate Critical Race Theory? I thought Americans love racism. They love hearing that some races are bad.

    Why are white people still sacred cows in the free speech utopia? :thinkin-lenin:

    Oh, Critical Race Theory. I was thinking cathode ray tube and was wondering what the fuss is over...racism is somehow better on flat TV's now?

    I've lived in STL for a while, and based on personal experience, I'd say the dot colors should be switched. North St Louis is where poor black people live, mid St Louis, particularly a little west of downtown are where old affluent white people live, and the young rich whites live out in the surrounding county a ways.

      Friends corroborate that South City, Olivette, and Florissant (+ surrounding areas) are the only integrated parts of the entire metro area.
