We all know how race relations are but the way these parents freak out its like the 50 and 60s. This American Life has been killing it lately with their race shows.
562: The Problem We All Live With

Thes white parents are mad as shyt some black students are moving in their school district. However they will say they're not racist lol.

Check out their cops see things differently podcast too when you get the chance.

If you already heard this let me know what you thought of this shyt.

Listening now...Do you agree with their premise?
The reality of the situation unfortunately is that in the United States, real successful integration on a wide scale is not possible because you can't force people to not leave when another race moves in and goes to their schools.

In Singapore where they are much less like a western democracy and often called a nanny state, they got this problem nipped in the bud and pride themselves as being a peaceful multicultural society. Deservedly so. Here is what they did. They FORCED integration of groups down to where you're allowed to live and having quotas of how many people of a specific race can live in a housing development. Basically forcing people to interact and forcing cohesion regardless of culture and race.

Obviously that would never fly here in the U.S. Without a civil war taking place. As stated in the story and other sources, schools that didn't experience white flight and successfully integrated only saw positive outcomes.
