“…In both instances, educational practitioners seek to resolve this burden of acting White, lack of middle-class values or capital, and opportunity gap by prescribing equitable funding of schools and teaching African Americans the dominant cultural and social capital, which are viewed as race neutral and are assumed by schools, required to become successful in school at the expense of their non-dominant Black cultural forms (Ainsworth-Darnell and Downey, 1998;Cook and Ludwig, 1998;Downey and Ainsworth-Darnell, 2002;Farkas et al, 2002;Gordon, 2006;Ogbu, 1991;Steele, 1997;Tyson et al, 2005;Wilson, 1998), that is, push for equitable funding of schools and resources, and teach Black students through social, community, and parental involvement (social capital) the linguistic and cultural competencies (cultural capital) of middle-class parents that schools require while undermining or overlooking their non-dominant cultural capital of the inner cities (Carter, 2003). This same logic holds true for Black British Caribbean students in the United Kingdom as well (Mocombe and Tomlin, 2013).…”
