Some Gyno-American named Melinda Wenner Moyer posted a more than usually emetic piece on Slate.com under the title “Teaching Tolerance: How white parents should talk to their young kids about race.”
I thought I had cleared that up for everybody two years ago, but apparently not. Ms. Moyer:
Last summer, my family moved from Brooklyn to a small town in the Hudson Valley. We love our new life, but one thing about the community is not so great: It’s predominantly white.
I have a little fun with that. Radio Derb:
According to her byline, Ms. Moyer lives in Cold Spring, which is indeed in the Hudson Valley: a town of 2,000 people, 0.45 percent of whom are black. Let me see, 0.45 percent of 2,000 … I make that nine people. One thousand nine hundred and ninety-one white people, nine black people. That’s just barely enough blacks for a basketball team.
A few minutes with my gazeteer showed me that Ms. Moyer could easily have found a much blacker community than that. Wappinger’s Falls is only ten miles away, 7½ percent black, and original home of Tawana Brawley — what more recommendation could you have than that?
Peekskill, ten miles in the other direction, is 25½ percent black — twice the national average. If you don’t mind a longer commute, Ms. Moyer — and hey, these are quiet country roads, and it’s a small price to pay for some vibrant, enriching diversity — twenty miles north there’s Poughkeepsie, which is 36 percent black, nearly three times the national average!
Perhaps Ms. Moyer wasn’t diligent enough in her house-hunting.
And what’s “not so great” about the town being predominantly white? The U.S.A. is predominantly white, Ma’am. Is the U.S.A. “not so great”? No, please don’t answer that.
