It reminds me that ur-punk rocker and bad girl Patti Smith of "Rock and Roll Nigger" YouTube (a song I kinda like, actually) and her husband Detroit Leftist anti-establishment rocker Fred Smith, raised their kids in St. Clair Shores, MI ---seriously about 93% White, 3% African American, 1.0% Asian,0.3% and change.

I give her credit for that. I lived in Detroit one, was targeted for a home invasion in broad daylight. White "flight"? I was outta there like a NASA rocket.

Southern public officials had vehemently resisted allowing black and white children to go to the same schools despite the court’s landmark 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling

THE DEMOCRAT PARTY, and they fought tooth and nail since the abortion from which they sprang up from, to Enslave Minorities, first in chains and now in Dependence.

Something this Vanessa person obviously thought was Un-Important.

Look who’s publishing this irrelevant piece of ancient history.

It’s about all racism all the time.

They cannot lose even a fraction of their black voter base.

Somehow they think this will help.

“attending an intentionally segregated school”

Same thing was done in the North, but instead of being honest about it, Northerners would allow a couple minorities into their private schools, on scholarship usually, while still keeping the majority out and having a 98% white school. Or they would just move out of town to the suburban school districts that were also 98% white. Or they would send their kids to “magnet schools” in the city where very few minorities could pass the entrance exams (except for Asians).

The only white kids in the North who went to really mixed schools were ones whose parents were too poor to take advantage of one of those schemes.

many morphed into multi-racial schools that are more segregated by income than race.

Yes, the Stephen Spear Academy in Montgomery, Al began as a rebel yell school and now has a substantial number of black students. Their parents wisely get their children out of the wretched Montgomery publics. A few years ago the Homecoming Prince was black. About the most popular kid in the school.

Those “’white’ southerners” behind this were the Democrat Party
It was called “Massive Resistance”.

It was a big deal at the time.
Covered up now, of course.
History is what they say it was LOL!

It is correct that many private schools were started as a reaction to integration. These schools thrive today as a reaction to sub standard public education. In these schools you will also find minorities from parents that just want a good education for their kids.

If there is one thing above all that the left wing media loves, its a self hating white Southerner ready to shovel dirt on all that is Southern. And if there is one thing most Southerners hate, its a self loathing white Southerner ready to do the dirty work of the left wing media, someone who is the exact replica of an 1865 scalawag, a Southerner helping the yankee carpetbaggers. White trash.

“Illinois at one time had the largest Klan membership in the US, by far.”

So did Indiana.

Why is the Civil Rights unconstitutional?

One simple reason - the same reason most of the federal government is constitutional - the Constitution doesn’t authorize the federal powers in the Civil Rights Act. The Constitution is the ONLY source of legitimate and legal federal government power. If it’s not a delegated power enumerated to the feds by the Constitution, it is NOT a legitimate federal power.

I pray Americas will get this. The feds ONLY legitimate power is that which is DELEGATED to them by the States and the People through the Constitution. Americans need to understand that we are currently being ruled by a mostly illegal and totalitarian federal government.

The person probably speaks for about 10 people nation wide. Bussing was one of the most communist things in the history of the planet. The Soviet Union would blush over it.

It’s part of the demonization of whites to make it easier to pass oppressive laws.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Boston endure race riots over busing and desegregation in the early 70’s? I was too young to remember them but I recall learning about the Boston troubles in History class.

Isn’t it strange that the media never mentions that event? It’s an inconvenient subject for them because it doesn’t fit their “All Southerners are backward bigots” narrative”.

Indiana also had a very large, powerful KKK influence in the 1920’s.

The democratic party has made a good living pandering to those types of humans for decades. We may be the deplorables but they are the detestables.

Some people like to wallow in things that happened 50 years ago. It avoids trying to deal with current issues which should be addressed. It also promotes victim hood. Why can’t we focus on the cultural issues of the present?
