Should we really force integration? Compare the general states of our communities pre-Civil Rights and post-Civil Rights. Anyone see a difference?
Personally, I think that Black males in particular would greatly benefit from segregated learning.

Krazeeboi..I agree to a degree with your last statement. But, that's the solution..our children face things that many will never understand. Yet, I have found the solution to problem to have teachers who care enough not to see skin color..yet, their heart to pull the best out of all their students..I know can happen..because it happened with my son..who was the only African American child in his whole grade.
When we separate based on race..our children don't benefit because they don't get the best teachers, they don't get new books, their schools deteriorate and no one cares. I lived in MA and my son was in the one the best schools in town..while there was a school that had more minorities it was the school where things that mattered were not taught.

And there are some things..that I don't want my grandchildren to experience that I did. I remember being a little girl waiting for the bus to come..and seeing a bus come by the house full of African American students. They were on coming from all over the county; can you imagine waving at your Mom when she drove by driving one of those buses ? Our parents would not allow us to attend that school which housed grades k - 12; as it was the only all African School in the county. The bus would stop a few feet from to pick up students..my Mom's best friend also drove a bus and her children didn't attend that school, either. We later found out why were not go there; even though there was rich in that place and they both were graduates of that school. The quality of education that they received did not reflect an attitude of learning; yet, it was mostly sports

Is segregation a socio-political issue or a spiritual issue?

To me it's actually both.. because even though we love God and attend church on Sunday morning..most of our churches are filled with people who are of the same racial background. Sadly, many feel that it's okay to separate; but, that's not cool. On one hand you have a group who are taught that they are superior and then the hand there is other group who is taught they are inferior and can't master the simplest task. Then on the spiritual..there is a mentality of "they need Jesus"; so we will disciple them and show them the correct way to work. Unfortunately, at the core is one's inability to recognize the problem within themselves.
