Separation by class is what I see.
and guess which people end up in which classes more times than not? dont fool yourself. race/class is the same in america for the most part. we're not talking about one offs or a few individuals. as a group or as groups, white are usually middle, upper middle, rich, wealthy, extremely wealthy class over blacks and browns. we're not going to discuss asians since they make up such a small total of our population.

Brown vs. Board hardly even matters at this point. Residential segregation in many places is extreme enough that school segregation already happens by default.

Yeah I remember growing up in Detroit how all the black people lived on one side of 8 mile and all the white people on the other side. And it wasn't even in general, shyt was almost a razor sharp divide.

One side of the street was the hood and then directly across the street was trailer parks. :wtf: :mjlol:

and since we're talking politics and race/class.

and for the record notice how latins start voting when they are rich. why is that? well for one, a lot of these latins are just white people that speak spanish born in spanish speaking countries. argentina comes to mind and is full of white people(a lot of hitlers homies ran to argentina after the war to escape). These are not native people of those areas. some of them are not even that mixed with the native folks. they are 100% european.

True, Biden himself helped set this system up.
Yeah, I thought of that after I typed that. If busing still existed then school integration might still be possible despite residential segregation, but Biden was one of many who helped put a halt to that.



Separation by class is what I see.

And that class separation falls mostly on racial lines.

and guess which people end up in which classes more times than not? dont fool yourself. race/class is the same in america for the most part. we're not talking about one offs or a few individuals. as a group or as groups, white are usually middle, upper middle, rich, wealthy, extremely wealthy class over blacks and browns. we're not going to discuss asians since they make up such a small total of our population.

it's more than just class, and even where it is class it is often driven by race. My most important grad school paper was on this shyt (not my thesis, but my thesis was ass so I don't even count it). I looked at the long-term repercussions of Brown v. Board, how it actually played out over time with a special focus on the 1980s and 1990s. And the residential segregation was clear and purposeful - White people moving out of neighborhoods when even middle-class black people moved in. Then over time they move resources out of there too, so all the institutions that were in the city are pushed out into the suburbs, people in the cities left with relatively nothing. Some of the worst examples they even moved the school NAME out into the suburbs. Like the White people literally took the school name and championship trophies and all that shyt to their suburb school and left the original physical school in the city without shyt. All affects class in the long run, because if you're a middle-aged Black family and you move to a White neighborhood in the city, but then all the White people move out and take everything with them, your housing value collapses, your kids end up in lower-quality schools, you likely have to pay more for insurance, bank gives you worse terms on your loans....it all adds up and you and your kids end up poorer than you would be if the neighborhood had never segregated.

I remember one statistic from like 1998 that said the average White kid in Detroit went to a school that was 2% Black. How are you living in DETROIT and going to schools that are 2% Black??? Atlanta had some crazy numbers too. Some studies said that overall there was actually just as much school segregation as in the 1960s, it's just that it was now enforced by residential segregation rather than school rules.
