in other words, you think "de facto" segregation is somehow BETTER than "de jure" segregation????

in point of FACT, the NORTH has NEVER desegregated their schools.

the city of BOSTON has more segregated schools NOW than AL,GA,LA & MS COMBINED, as i write these lines!

Well, yeah. I do. Using the power of the state to support racism, using law enforcement, jails, and so on is much worse than white parents moving to the suburbs to escape integrated schools. Maybe the effect on the minority students is the same, but it's the use of government power that's more pernicious and threatening to American soclety in general. You can't legislate people to love their brother, but government shouldn't be in the business of explicitly empowering that attitude.

Nope. I'm good.
