saying that we should be given the same resources is very different from saying that we must be in a classroom next to white children to learn. my question is, "could seperate be equal if Black schools were given the same resources?" yes, it could have been, now there may be other arguments against segregation but to for justice warren to say that the resource issue is the reason is a bunk of ish in my eyes. also, the issue of the child choosing the white doll as being better, prettier, etc. is also a bunk of ish. if a Black child does not value themselves then how in the heck will placing them in a school with white folks rectifty how they feel about themselves? lastly, segregatiion was considered unconstitutional but there was NEVER and still has not a federal implementation of a desegregation in this country. furthermore, such researcher as in gary orfield has found that there has been a re-segregation of schools in this country.
