(62,444 posts)You completely fail to understand that suburban Delaware was intentionally developed along racially segregated lines.
Brown v Board was I the mid 50s. AFTER that, white people realized they couldnt keep overtly segregated schools. So, in the late 50s and early 60s housing boom in this area, the school districts and their feeder patterns were intentionally gerrymandered to keep black people out of white areas, and to make sure the white school districts this had better funding.
You can play whatever rhetorical games you want, but where I lived, just a few miles from Wilmington, black people did not exist - not in the neighborhoods and certainly not in the schools.
ONLY busing changed that. If you have some other method of transporting students among what were intentionally segregated schools located according to the intentionally segregated neighborhoods, then lets hear it.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
