(2,492 posts). . . the "segregation academies" that are alive and doing quite well in most of the Southern states.
In my native county of Wilkinson County, MS, there are two "segregation academies" -- Centreville Christian Academy and Wilkinson County Christian Academy -- while the local and county school systems are 100% Black. At the "Christian academies" there are usually 1, 2, 3, 4 black faces -- all of whom are the star quarterback or running back or track star.
Back in late 1990's, when public schools in the South were grudgingly integrating, the "segregation academies" were mostly up to 8th grade after which White kids had to go to school with "those people." Wife's cousin and his family visited us with a teenaged daughter who was going to -- in September -- move out of her lily White school into an integrated public high school. This was the sole topic of conversation from them!!! The girl waked up every morning vomiting because she was so terrified of starting school in the fall with "those people." Damn but a few years later she moved to Atlanta and married one of those people!!!!!!!!!!!! When her cousin called my wife in tears because his daughter was marrying one of those people, my wife laughed her ass off. To this day, wife's cousin does not allow his daughter, her Black husband, or their kids to visit; sends them no Christmas gifts; does not recognize any of their birthdays. He calls my wife about once a month -- she always inquires about the daughter and her Black husband and family, pisses off her cousin, he hangs up. Fuck him.
