a white kid in minority majority school your race would be an issue with many everyday. But you are correct, I did not suspect that you really support racial segregation. I honestly believe that we have reached the stage where nothing short of racial integration in public education on a massive scale will save this republic from plutocratic despotism. The corporatists know this too, and that is exactly why their media and political machine has been pushing education reform or more accurately resegregation since passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and especially the Swann v. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Board of Education decision of 1971. If we aim to make it we should strive for a future where most of us are grey or the color of caramel or oatmeal, have kinky copper hair, a variety of odd noses and slanted amber eyes.
