Well, through my research, integration brought about the demise of the Negro League, Bronzeville here in Chicago and a lot of black centers of activity and life nationwide, and the structure of the black community, in the fact that, back inna day, doctors lived next to the pimps,the social workers lived next to the handyman. You had the uplifting social and economic examples right there in the community.

Whether that's good or bad is a judgement call. I don't like it, in fact, but such is progress. Nature abhors a vacuum, and the dearth of black people in affluent city communities led them in and whites out into expanding burbs. That's what integration brought us, but it, for its credit, brought us some legal recourse to defend why we were where we were.

I'm done now.

reminding you that, yes, in the right social context.. "DEEEEEEEEEEZ NUUUUUUUUUUUTS!" is still funny.
