Black Only Schools Proposed

Merc, I don't think you understand the purpose of this proposal.

First of all, this is not a new idea. There are thousands of specific minority schools that include some asians, gays, etc. If you are so worried about this idea, you should have been attacking those and have already established your "white-only" school a long time ago.

The point of this school is not to segregate blacks from whites, but to give black children the best possible education. It is proven that black children perform better under black teachers under black administrations. That is the base argument behind the proposal, nothing else. I really don't see the problem with that as long as choice is involved.

Which brings me to rkzenrage's argument that white kids will perform worse under these new schools. Well, this is more than likely true. That is why integration failed and we need to move on to a more realistic and progressive model. If your kids, being white, were forced to go to an afro-centric school where studies have shown that they will not perform as well as going to euro-centric school, I can imagine you not being to happy with that. Then why are we forcing black kids to go to euro-centric schools when studies have shown that they will not perform as well opposed to going to an afro-centric school? The problem is that white kids will naturally perform better than black kids under the current system so all this is trying to do is break the black kids away so they can go to a system which benefits them. That is why there is no need for a "white-only" school because to get the benefits of that, you can just move to the suburbs or send your kids to a rich private school.
