Well, its pretty commonly accepted that segregated black schools were in every way inferior to their white equivalents. But, if we can't agree on this, I doubt we'll agree on much concerning the subject. |
Again, things looked bad but they really were not. If you want to argue segregation is demeaning then you�d have an argument but segregation didn�t seem to have an effect on school perfomance. Actually you can�t even argue that as we routinely had sex segregation (boys girls academies) in schools and even now educators make African American academies by choice. |
I'm not arguing that racial segregation necessarily leads to inferior schools for blacks. I'm arguing that the intentional and total racial segregation under the Jim Crow regime in the Southern United States meant direct and immediate inferior educational opportunities for blacks. |
Inferior economic opportunites as well. Jim Crow was an evil system based on fear and hatred. |
