Integration isn't about begging the oppressors to teach us, it's about equal access to education. Separate but equal was not equal. Integration allowed black children to go to the same schools (read from the same books, have access to the same meals, use the same infrastructure) as white children. Before, schoolhouses were dilapidated, educational meal quality was lower due to vendor access and vendor choice discrimination, etc. Giving children better access to education allows them a better opportunity to become educators in the future. Stifling their access to education deters them from education and perpetuates negative outcomes. Integration was more about us getting equal access to a closed club (the club of equal rights...on paper) than anything else. Whether people feel racist is on them, but after Brown vs. BOE they could no longer keep kids out of school based on color.
challenge: make an ACTUAL POINT, supporting the ideologies of the civil rights movement.

Just Like That
is that so?
lol. I hadn't read the whole thread before I posted.
It's still true no matter how many times it has already been posted. 
What are your solutions?
That's all great and seemed as if that was a good idea but, we see how white folks flipped that so it turned out that that wasn't the answer.
I feel you on that. Trust me I'm not some "we are free...everyone is equal" kinda breh. Strides need to be made. But life as a little homie going to school in an integrated school (like it mattered in the early 90's in San Diego where I'm from) was undoubtedly better than a segregated school in the 1950s
I have entire solutions that I presented many times....
Not that I needed to do that, because others have already....
Why are you a western imperialism supporting white supremacist?
I'm not talking about him of course, he's been dead since 1998. Why would I even disrespect that man?
Hell, I'm going back to school in the near future to get more educated like him.
yea this is easy honestly
access to better education as well which equates to access to better jobs.
MLK's work did help us.
Wow.
first off, you dont know anything about segregating within integration ___if you did you wouldn't bring up asians.
Second... im embarrassed to have to say this but
How can you compare a group whose position and treatment has been 100x better in America, who didn't have their language, identity, unity, and culture taken.. who weren't brainwashed to a high degree and who weren't trained to lean on the church over technology????
Their communities weren't targeted by the government and all progress and leadership wasn't murked off...
Look at what happened to mlk?? He died foe US, and now Hispanics, asians, gays , etc take advantage of his death while blacks still had real shyt to deal with.
Im not sure that more jobs helps...
Better jobs and more businesses and more pro black self reliance helps.
We have access but wealth gaps have tripled I. The last 25 years.
The black family has been destroyed since the 60s at a steady decline.
Give me one reason having a good ol worker mindset will help us progress?
Naw...So the Civil Rights Movement was the downfall of African American prosperity
But what do you think it was?
What years did the major declines happen?
Blackout
just your usual nerdy brotha
So you are really gonna tell me that we had it better during segregation?
Not to mention that during segregation we had to answer to the white man still?
Really dude??
And as for the rest we could of still made black businesses and supported our own after all of that hell.
It's just that after segregation ended everybody ran to white stores.
Economic empowerment and educational pursuits.
Thats pretty much all you can do.
People respect money. Let 'em hate all they want.
