On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, that state laws establishing separate public schools for Black and white students were unconstitutional, violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The 9-0 decision was hailed as a major victory for the civil rights of African-Americans, paving the way for the integration of the nations schools. But in retrospect, while there was reason to celebrate the court decision, there were also many things the Black community lost after the Brown decision.

This explains why liberals, after a long history of slavery, segregation, Jim Crow, and the like, finally “came around” on civil rights — the blacks were achieving too much and getting out of the underclass and dependency on liberals. That must never be permitted.
This article makes it clear how the left used the civil rights movement to continue the harm they have done before and since to black folks. It is really shameful and hypocritical, but they’re liberals, after all.
Thanks for articulating the truth of the issue so well.
Where I lived in the Rocky Mountain region and the High Plains, blacks, whites, Spanish, and Indians all went to school together.
We did not even comprehend what segregation was till we moved to the Ozarks and Little Rock blew up.
Yeah. A lot of sites like that these days. I was too lazy to copy and paste the whole article. Oh well.
They still try to blame “white” colonialism for the foundering of those countries.
However, a recent study showed that countries that were colonized by the British tended to do better during and after colonization than those that weren’t.
No sarcasm.
Look up her response to Brown v Board of Education.
She nails it, not just on the race issues, but on the broader issue of Government by Fiat.
Here is a quote:
“In the ruling on segregation, the unsuspecting nation might have witnessed a trial-balloon. A relatively safe one, since it is sectional and on a matter not likely to arouse other sections of the nation to the support of the South. If it goes off fairly well, a precedent has been established. Govt by fiat can replace the Constitution.”
I started high school in 68, and my school was forced to integrate. No, we whites didn’t like it (of the 4 white schools, mine received all the black students), but the black kids REALLY hated it. We had several riots over the next 3 years. The black schools were all located in the black neighborhoods, with black teachers, and almost every black student graduated. After integration, and LBJ’s destruction of the black family, the rate is extremely low among black males. 70 to 80 percent of black kids are born out of wedlock. Now the blacks want to go back to segregation (their neighborhoods already are). It has been proven that majority black boys only do well with male black teachers.
Thank you. Yes. I read up on her a little bit and realized there is no sarcasm in your post. She certainly makes a better spokesperson for the human race than the Sharpton-Jackson cacophony.
Peer pressure not to leave their dumb pals behind.
The crabs pulling the escaping ones back into the bucket.
This happens among white people too. “Working class” students are accused of being “preps”.
Anyone who would hold you back in life IS NOT your friend.
Marxism too.
This essential point is avoided in the story. The destruction is implemented by the Marxist feminists in social service occupations.
As Black children were put into an environment perceived as controlled by whites, the phenomenon of young Black kids equating academic excellence with acting white arose. In the Black schools, Black students largely cheered their classmates for achievements. But after desegregation created a clear division of white and Black, the association shifted and Black students began to tease one another by pushing their smart peers into the white category. Ever since then, we have seen that Black kids tended to perform more poorly when mixed with whites.
Although black and white schools were alike in culture, once integrated, black and white activists began tearing apart “racist white schools” and dumbing them down morally, ethically and academically.
At this point, it’s hopeless. We can not recover what communists tore apart.
