A historically significant day for Australians

My logic is based on an idea that seems to be a paradox, that segregation can be integration.

Here are my premises for my logic:

• Separate but equal will fail and go in favor of whites
• We are two integrated for complete segregation
• 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

My argument is based off of these premises.

As of now, we are segregated by neighborhoods and schools. Inner city schools are mostly black and Latino, rural schools are usually whites, well off suburban schools are usually white, and not as well off suburban schools are more mixed, but a lot of times the children segregate themselves anyways. Throughout the United States, there is a disparity in education levels of whites and blacks in their respective segregated schools, and even in mixed schools, white children tend to do better than black children. To counter this, I agree with the proposals that we stop forced integration and allow the mostly black schools to become more afro-centric, run by black teachers under a black administration. This will then put more black children through high school, college, and finally higher paying and more powerful jobs. This split, while segregating, will eventually force integration on a larger level that has not been seen before in the United States. When more blacks get higher paying and powerful jobs, they will be able to move out of the cities and mostly black areas to other areas that have been formally occupied by whites, further forcing integration and tolerance. We can not completely segregate anyways, so that shouldn't be a large problem.

Though, if blacks do perform self-determination, there can be some drawbacks. First, allowing blacks to have self-determination will be a big obstacle, which can be seen through the heavy resistance to the afro-centric school in Toronto and my idea right now. Second, if blacks do become powerful and start representing a non-white agenda, there will be a power struggle and closet racists will come out of their shell because they will start to feel threatened.

That is my idea, it is obviously very controversial but could work effectively if a power struggle does not follow.
