You think it's a parents responsibility to make sure their black kids spend time with White Folks? Like why would that be a priority? Especially if those parents have had no meaningful contact with white folks?

This is just made up bullshit that doesn't take into account that many black people live in segregated communities that would require busing to have that sort of interaction. How is this important meaningful interaction suppose to happen? And how are poor people (who live in the most segregated communities) suppose to engage in this meaningful interaction?

Man you should listen to this American Life Episode about how segregation is still such a huge part of the American education experience.
