“…it is unacceptable to have eighth grade Algebra I classes and gifted education programs that disproportionately exclude Black and brown children.”

a definition of exclude is “deny (someone) access to or bar (someone) from a place, group, or privilege.”

no one is barring access to these classes on the basis race. can you even imagine that? “sorry, you’re not allowed to take this class; you’re black.” it’s like everyone who writes this lives in their mom’s basement and has never gone outside and thinks if they just make the boring and tired declaration that non-black/non-brown people are evil/racist, that it absolves them of every other sin they commit, like not caring about homeless people or the fact that everything they own is made by chinese children. in reality it accomplishes nothing except complacency and it helps the people raping the world continue their work of exploiting everyone.

“I don't think I follow your point about income level”

it makes sense when you consider that TLAs basic function is to preserve the status quo for wall street. we subvert democracy overseas to preserve corporate profits and have been doing so for many generations a la United Fruit Company, selling weapons to saudi arabia, etc.

belligerence is a bourgeois and pearl-clutchy way to dismiss desperate people writing text on the internet as a part of their struggle to improve the horrible material conditions of their lives and the lives of the people they love. it’s easy to be sophisticated when everyone else is effectively your slave because you happened to be born higher up in the global supply chain. belligerent is how Marie Antoinette would have described people who don’t want to want to be told to eat cake.
