  • We are still mostly segregated by neighborhoods and schools
  • Black children perform better under black institutions
  • Forcing white and black children to go to school together does not mean integration or they get the same benefit out of school
I withhold judgement because I do not understand the underlying logic - the reason 'why' - behind that conclusion. It leaves me to believe I neither understand piercehawkeyes45's conclusion nor grasp the logic in his underlying reasons.

If segregation creates a better educated black population, it also encourages a racist white one. A better educated population also raised with a 'them vs us' perspective - are they really better educated?
