To help make up for the disparity, politicians created Affirmative Action — another Liberal failure.
Oh, but nobody cares about them.

It’s of no consequence to liberals and the like...
Not all schools were segregated back then. I never went to a segregated school as we had both blacks and Latinos in our classes.
It was only after my dad dragged us kicking and screaming from the Rockies to the Ozarks, and we hit here just as Little Rock blew up. I then asked dad “What is segregation?” When he told me I could not comprehend it!
Forty years after Little Rock, one of the black girls who desegregated the school went back and was shocked at what she found.
The White kids were attentive and listened, the Black kids put their heads on the desks.
Her thoughts were..”I put MY LIFE on the line to allow BLACK KIDS to go to WHITE SCHOOLS, so they could put their heads on the desks and REFUSE to learn?” (Her exact words were “I put my life on the line for THIS?”).
With half of the households on government assistance and trillions of dollars spent, the "war on poverty" has been a colossal failure. Cut and run.
