I believe that everything would run a lot smoother if predominantly black schools employed black teachers and predominantly white schools employed white teachers. Similarly, if black neighborhoods were patrolled by black cops and white neighborhoods by white cops, instances of “police brutality” and complaints against the police would decrease.

Not sure what you mean by smoother, but I've been in the worst schools on the South side of Chicago, and the staff is usually about 95% black. The kids still don't learn, they still don't bother to come to school and there are still crimes committed on school property.

Unfortunately, it does allow a lot of the black teachers to preach the same kind of hatred as Jeremiah Wright. Only in the classroom, rather than in a church.

Also, about the black cop in the black neighborhood thing; a while back, a cop was murdered on the South side and the black neighborhood cheered. It was pointed out to the residents that the cop was black and he had a wife and kids. The general response was that they were still glad he was dead, since he represented "The Man". They give black cops just as much of a hard time as they give white cops. Sometimes worse.

Not necessarily. Minority cops sometimes put up with less BS than the white guys. And the "police brutality" complaints around here seem to keep coming no matter what the race/ethnicity of the cop.

What about the white kids at the predominantly black schools and vice versa?

How about if we all just get along.

What did they think would happen, when teachers are prevented from disciplining students
