I think this is part of what gets at me. It's one thing if something done for the right reason happens to also be noble. It's another if a thing is done so as to telegraph to everyone watching that This Here is a Noble Act. This is mind-reading territory which can be dangerous. I don't want to second guess this reporter's motives. As far as I can tell, she wants to send her daughter to a segregated school to help her daughter's classmates, at the expense of a better school she could have sent her. But it also seems like there's a larger narrative the reporter wants her readers to read into, i.e. that white people in Dumbo are racists.FUCK NOBILITY.
I'm glad that this comment was yours. Why? Because it's the 400,000th post on Hubski and because it's from a long time hubskier. Congrats! You win.... a badge. Shit, I'm out of badges. You win a drink on me the next time I see you. Which, I bet is in 2017. mk and I are going to start doing more Hubski meetups in 2017 as we travel the country banking stem cells :)
2017? ;) Can’t wait TNG, bring it on! I think Baltimore and DC are ripe for a friendly gathering. 400,000! Here’s to 400,000 more.
