Busing and ReSegregation, intergration Options

[onenonly101]

It seems as though places like school are becoming segregated again. I go to an all black school, with the exception of 3 or 4 asians and 3 or 4 hispanics. I used to do the M to M program. It was a program called Minority to Majority. Then they shut it off because of one man complaining about busing. It turns out he was a racist and didn't want blacks going to school with his daughter.(Which now blacks are moving into their community so...) Now they made me go back to my home school Towers. I don't live in the inner city and my neighborhood is black. Busing forced intergration. I loved going to Peachtree because of the fact that it was so many different races there. Now it is only one race. No diveristy at all. That is not how it is going to be in the real world. You will incounter people from all different backgrounds. So the question is Should we restart Busing

That proves that people who were brought up in different places have different experiences. You've never proven why, WITH ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, a black person would have different experiences than a white one.

They are different. Our cultures are different the way we do things are different. T

Okay, maybe I wasn't clear. I have the right to hate. So do you. So does everyone else in our country.

We do not have the "right" to hate. We don't really have rights we have privledges and things we think we should have/do

You wouldn't feel any of the pain.

You will feel pain because you do not die right after the shot is fired

Having to spend an extra thirty minutes on the road while I have a huge project due the next day or having to walk another ten minutes in January Pensnylvania Snow could potentially cause some pain.

Actually it won't. Have you ever been bussed? I have i don't care if i spend one 1 on the buss I recieve different views on life by going to diverse schools.

Well that's stupid. What are you supposed to do when you adress TWO separate issues?

Skip a couple of lines

You do realize that in Brown v. Board of Education, the reason given to desegregate teh schools was to AVOID busing, right?

It wasn't because then the case of Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education made busing. Most of the children already rode buses to and from school anyways and that made the courts order busing to desegregate schools. Busing broke segregation in the South. Gary Orfield said this : The issue of school segregation had become one of helping our schools serve a student body where two of every five students are minorities and preparing out children for a society that is in the midst of a great transformation.
Here in Georgia we are the most segregated state. I don't like seeing/knowing that. Diveristy is a myth to you but not to the majority of the American people who welcome it and believe in it.
