The Letter Story

 I sat and read this story several times....from over at Hot Air's site.

So this is the way it goes.

There's this 'letter' that went out from a group called Dallas Justice Now....to a number of parents in a particular white neighborhood in the vicinity of Dallas.  Based on the description....it sounds like it's upscale, and the type of neighborhood where folks drive BMWs, own $100k RVs, and send their kids off to Harvard or Georgetown for college.

The letter goes into detail, but it basically wants these mostly all white parents to STOP sending their kids to high-end or Ivy League colleges.  

Chief reason?  To help support Black Lives Matter.  The logic here is that if the rich white kids don't show up....the Ivy League school would be 'forced' to accept black kids.

So I sat pondering over this.

First, is this a legit letter?  No one much has ever heard of this Dallas Justice Now group.  

Second, if you approached a hundred rich and upper-scale families with this type of scenario....they'd ask you how they could do this and ensure that 'Johnny Jr' or 'Wanda Jean' could get ahead in life without the Georgetown or Princeton diploma?

Third, even if they did this......wouldn't the second tier white families....the ones making $75k a year on salary simply take up the space vacated by the ultra rich families?   Or maybe the ultra rich Latino families would do this?

Fourth, where the hell did the Dallas Justice Now group get the mailing addresses from?

Fifth and final.....if this letter came to your house, and Wanda Jean (being 16 and all hyped-up to attend Harvard in two years) stood there listening to your acceptance of this idea.....just how peeved would Wanda Jean get?  

Personally, I think the letter is a hoax deal, and probably written by some Republican guy in the same neighborhood.  This is probably the same guy who gives the fake-support hype each week at the local golf club and seems overly supportive of BLM.  

Now, if you asked me....out of a hundred families who might get the letter...how many will react?  I'd say between one and zero.  There's probably some wife now trying to convince Johnny Jr.....that attending North Dakota State University isn't such a bad thing.
