Racial segregation in American schools. Return to the 1960s 

“You don’t have to be friends with the white guy” imagine a white student saying that about black people. Segregation is wrong weather it’s all white or all black. MLK Jr wanted everyone to be looked at by character not wether the person is white or black.

Schools are segregated in the US not just because some people don't want to be around black and brown kids. Yes, that still exits. But many parents look at the educational statistics (low test scores), the crime statistics and think there is no way I'm subjecting my kid to that. It's the very reason myself and my sister were educated in Catholic schools.

They mention that blacks do better when they go to schools with a large number of whites, but don't say whether whites do better when they go to schools with a large number of blacks.

I'm not for forced integration or segregation, the government should let people live in the communities they wish to live in.

Black and white people are different. In every sense. We don't like each other.

So why the focus on the south? What about Detroit? Chicago? Los Angeles? Some of the most segregated cities in this country are outside of the south. Look up Dan Rather's documentary on Detroit's schools here on RU-vid: they are all packed with poor blacks. You think that happened by accident?

What kind of principal says "we was"?? Are you kidding me?

We're all not suppose to get along...segregation is very much needed, if we're going to force something, force black people to live and deal with each other and solve their own problems! Learn how to be CIVILIZED! And independent!

To be honest I use to think segregation was bad, but when you look at the low crime rates in black community's before the 60s when segregation was still around and the fact that more blacks were employed. during this time, segregation doesn't seem so bad.

Segregation is the ideal society. The races need to separate. It keep the races protected, and their culture flourishes. It is not racism, but true diversity, and how people work best.

Northern schools are more segregated than southern schools.

Segregation is natural to a certain extent. Birds of a feather flock together

Most of this comment section is absolutely DISGUSTING!! I went to predominately white schools my entire school life and let me tell you kids of all different races were either great students or lousy students. My older sister graduated in the top ten at our predominantly white school and two years later we had a black valedictorian and then another black valedictorian the year after who somehow despite being black beat all the white kids. For the people in the comment section saying its black kids who cause all the problems in school you probably don't even know that many black kids or if you do you've only focused on the bad ones while forgetting all the rotten things done by kids who do share your race.

Segregation is better for all parties

I'm black and I avoid predominately black area's where I live chocolate cities are the most dangerous cities for black men. That is FACT.

Here's an interesting stat; Across all states in the USA, generally speaking, the more black people that live in an area, the lower the black high school graduation rate.

Desegregation is perhaps the greatest failed social experiment of all time.

This report is very misleading. The title and build up say that segregation has been reintroduced in some parts of the USA. That would be a legal requirement for black and white kids to go to different schools. In fact what has happened is that the legal requirement for having both white and black kids in the same school has been removed because achieving that outcome required forcing some kids to go to schools they did not want to go to. The school shown as an example has two white students only and otherwise is all black. That's not because there is a rule requiring blacks and whites to be sent to other schools. Even after all this information has been revealed in the report, the journalist continues to say that the situation is now 'just like' it was during the period when segregation was a legal requirement. She interviews an old black man who repeats that same, inaccurate assessment. What else about this picture is the reporter leaving out or misrepresenting?

they're going to make the black kids angry. I love black people graduations. other countries don't even have graduation ceremonies. blacks act like graduating from high school is an achievement on par with landing a craft on Jupiter.

There is one HUGE difference. 60 years ago there were fathers at home to discipline their children. If SBE can stop the violence and turn out some bright children, return to it.

I have grown up in a community where Americans of all kinds have lived together without any segregation whatsoever. It is individuals who have decided this. But everyone seems to forget that ANYONE can be racist. I don't care what race you are, if you are hating on someone else based on skin color, you are racist.

The forced desegregation was a hardship on many families because kids were bussed miles away as opposed to enrolling in schools in their area. I lived it myself in the mid 70's. The problem wasn't so much the kids getting along, it was the distance. That is the only reason people sued to stop the bussing. As a result, kids go to the schools nearby. It's simple geography.

Everyone wants to be somewhat segregated to an extent, but it shouldn't be enforced by the government. If some schools are mostly black, there's nothing wrong with that as long as it's not forced

It's not a race issue. It's a class issue. The inner cities are where the poor people live. Middle class blacks don't live there. I wouldn't want to live in an area that had a lot of poor whites either.

Don't force integration. Let it happen naturally. Those who want to segregate let them do it as long as you don't deny anyone from education and right to own property. I don't see anything wrong with people who prefer to live with their own kind. Those who want integrate can live in mixed area. Forced integration will only cause more problem in future.

I think segregation should be an option for ppl who would want that and I guarantee you a good bit would both black, white any race

Segregation now, integration never.

The weird twist of events is that THEY want segregation. I would never want my kid to go to a black school since they would be constantly picked on an bullied and outcast.

Lets not hate, lets segregate.

Another hit piece on the South. This is everywhere in the US - not just in Alabama. And maybe Kylie Morris (with her proper British accent) could follow up on why 25% of English primary and secondary schools are divided along ethnic lines. Also, interesting that the young, black student bemoaning the fact that she wished there had been more white students in her class has accepted a scholarship to an all black college. It appears that people tend to gravitate toward cultures that they are familiar/comfortable with.

Stop forced integration just because the black students do badly in academics doesn't mean the answer is integration it doesn't work

Bro, THEY don`t come to school for school. They are there to EAT, CHARGE THE PHONE and CHILL WITH FRIENDS.

Blacks should teach and police blacks and whites should do the same and there's nothing wrong with that.People feel more comfortable with people like themselves, obviously.It doesn't mean we hate each other either.I love everyone but I feel at home around my white brothers and sisters.

Wow.. I'm from Alabama, and I have never seen an all black school that wasn't a complete disaster site.. Don't know how they're managing such different results at this school in Tuscaloosa, but I promise, this isn't anywhere near typical in the United States.

"...but it [desegregation] was not allowed to continue..." How disingenuous. What she means is it was not forced to continue.

Segregation works

they choose to go to schools like that they can go to any school they want oh wait theres no school choice...but its frowned upon because trump is trying to make it happen.

"Only two whites in the whole school" RIP

People should have the right to have s private white school!! People feel safer and more comfortable with people of your own race

segregation =Less differences = less bullism and more friendship.

Stories like this always ignore the BIG question. Yes, "white flight" causes the resegregation, but WHY does white flight occur? That is the 800 lb. monster sitting in the corner.

Ask Howard Stern or Henry Rollins how much they enjoyed the privilege of going to mostly black schools when they were kids. Their virtue-over-safety-minded parents should have been charged with child abuse for allowing that.

What is wrong with segregation???? we need it!!! Our cultures are VERY different!!

No shortage of white flight in England either, 600 000 whites have left London.

I wonder where Asians go.

I don’t think it’s a bad thing let blacks have their community and whites can return to theirs it ok people we don’t have to hate each other but this will help the racism thing go away

Integration is a good thing, but it has to be voluntary - not forced.

I actually live in Tuscaloosa County and go to Tuscaloosa County High School and I've seen first hand how segregation in Central High has helped it become a failing school

Segregation now,Segregation tommorow, Segregation FOREVER!!!

Segregation is needed.

I wondered about this myself. It actually seemed like things were better racially in the 80s and 90s, and now it's 2010s/2020s but it's moved back to that 1950s mentality.

I'm mixed ,but I'm with the white folk. Let me come with y'all. I don't want to live in the ghetto no more. MAGA!

We are founding out that you can't force mixing of people when they do not want it.

In Florida we ran into a very similar issue, we were pulling our children out of the public school system due to violence from other students. The first school after just speaking with me and conducting a verbal interview our twins were accepted. We had too put up $5000 initially and bring the girls in for orientation. We already had them take the SAT and I sent that over and they met the entrance portion for their scores on their SAT. There was a section that stated there were no refunds of the application portion($,5000). I took our daughters in the next day and the reception was chilly, the lady I had spoke with the day prior was very irritated. I am not sure what caused her to have an attitude that day but I suspected that my color maybe a problem. After talking with the principal for an interview that wasn’t scheduled that day with me, she informed me that they didn’t have any slots available at that time. I informed her that I had already paid for the two slots my daughters would need the day prior. But the principle stated that that couldn’t be because you would have to pay $5,000 to reserve those two spots. She excuses herself and a little while later she comes back and says that those two spots that I had paid for will have to be canceled because she needed them for another family. From what the school said is that the slots you want must be paid for in full before that slot could be reserved for the student. I think after seeing me in person they realized that they had been mistaken thinking I was white. While at the office waiting for the error to be identified I noticed that the only blacks that I had seen at that point were extremely tall boys. I asked the secretary why were they all so y’all and she told me the school recruited them for their sports teams. And their siblings were allowed to attend with funds for just that purpose keeping siblings in the same school. After me becoming very direct and the lies they continued to tell, I just finally stated that I would like a refund based off of the entire situation. They told me again there are no refunds, I called my attorney and explained what had happened and gave her the information for the school. Later that I evening I received a call from the school apologizing for their mistakes and informed they were sending a check for the refund. My neighbor who has two older boys explained to me that the reasons they took their sons out was due to racism. And that the staff are some of the worst ish talkers. Somethings that were said to him and because of the speaker being the same race as my neighbor the speaker thought that they believed in the same way. Ultimately we found a much better private school in our area, but the Christian private school was proven to be another den of the devil.

Trust me. Being a white Male in an all black or Mexican school is not a place you want to be. Everyday it's nothing but "yall did this, yall did that" . We are blamed for everyone of their problems and when we leave we are told we are bad for not staying and being mentally and physically punished.

SOME BLACKS WANT THIS😂 THIS IS WHY KKK AND OTHER RACIST GROUPS NEED TO TEAM UP WITH SOME BLACKS RACIST GROUPS CUZ WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER SOME OF US THINK LIKE THIS AND WANT THIS AGAIN

You know they were pushed through and never truly graduated... If you listen to REAL teachers, at REAL black schools, you’d realize this sad fact of life.

Why do you think there is white flight ???? Ask your self that ?? There is a reason and its valued ???

I dont have a problem with us being seperated from whites i for one welcome it its alot safer for us

personally i would prefer segregation i would feel safer in a majority white area and more at ease most blacks in london also seem to like to live together as they are generally noisier and more unruly and only normally go into white areas to get up to no good this is a fact of life as i see it,

3:35 "A Real Mix" I see 90% Black. How is that a mix

What about other races segregating? I'm native american and went to a mostly white school. I got along with almost everyone. Should there be an all Asian school, too? Is this adversity only between blacks and whites?

I think integration of the 60s hurt so-called black people. I like the fact that so-called black people are going back to running their own institutions and getting ourselves together as a people. We can’t really come together with other people until we get our own house in order.

No father was found on that graduation ceremony

Isn’t that the woman who interviewed Jordan Peterson?

70 years later George wallace was correct - Its not working ??ZERO was the best and the brightest and he got 250 SAT points as a head start and he became an ABJECT failure ??? Its not working ???

I went to school in America once and my school just preferred white skinned people, and are sometimes fine with Asians. I have a white frowns and a black friend and I’m SK, and we once forgot our textbooks for maths, and my teacher just yelled at my black friend- and let me and my white friend off the hook almost instantly. I now live in UK and I’m much happier here-

Segregation now segregation tomorow segregation forever

People self-segregate, it’s human nature. Stop pushing back against basic human instinct.

They also had to lower standards. So black students could keep up. The duming down of AMERICA.

Returning? Please look up redlining. This is why schools are segregated. They just found another way. Schools are funded based on property tax. The schools were zoned based on “how desirable the neighborhoods are.” This means black neighborhoods were redlined or marked undesirable. This made it harder to get mortgages from banking companies which labeled the redlined neighborhoods too risky. Homes are valued lower, businesses don’t move in to the area and offer jobs or money which come from the flow of the business. So, schools in the redline district are poorly funded. The schools are in poor conditions, they have little funding for books and technology. Teachers aren’t paid as well so they leave in droves when they can be offered more money in other districts. This, friends, is classic racism. They’re just wearing different robes.

I went to school in North Carolina and we segregated by choice of the students, not by law starting in middle school. They would let the students go inside the gym and wait until it was time to go to homeroom and the entire 6th grade had one side of the gym and it look like a paint sample wall, one side was all white, the other side all black. Same in the classroom, all white on one side, blacks on the other. Lunch tables the same. This went on until graduating high school.

I suggest she hang out at a public Bus Stop anywhere in the United States. She might have a change of thought when she observes the GARBAGE going on. Total S**T.!! She should start screeming on her own!

Good video. Unfortunately most people will miss the basic fact.... black people still can't seem to move ahead on their own / with their own... that's what I take away from this video. Why people seem to be able to move ahead regardless economic status. It certainly is time put a successful black people to start taking a leadership role in their own community. The Asians and the Middle Eastern people move ahead on your own. We do it even though we don't have Mastery of the English language. We simply have a drive to succeed and do better. It is high time the black box of America learn to move ahead on their own. Unfortunately every bleeding heart liberal will make an excuse as to why they are unable to do it. The biggest danger to Black Americans today are liberal white people.. the black american people can be an amazing and Powerful race if only thay ignore excuses that the white people make for them

If you make segregation law your giving people on both sides an legal right to be racist. When you segregate schools... communities, jobs, businesses along with restricting one's movements follows. On the other hand, I see nothing wrong with communities investing thier own money in private education, but jobs, businesses and public places is for everyone

Integration was the worst thing that ever happened to the public school system ruined it

I highlighted the harsh truth about the NH Supreme Court Chief Justice Linda Dalianis' role in the court ordered racial segregation imposed on my son and my advocacy for my son's right to a quality education along with Dalianis and her hometown local Nashua Police Department choosing to remedy the problem of her harshest critic (me) in their own special, but unlawful way. How does a concerned Black father prevent his child from becoming part of the undesirable phenomenon known in the minority community as the "school to prison pipeline" when the State Supreme Court Justices intentionally devalues and actively unlawfully conspires against a Black child's right to a decent public education?

So many ignorant people on the comments

Diversity has not helped any one except make enemies more stronger ???

Hmmm... the black teachers seem to be unable to speak correct English. Yet they are teaching here? That's enough for me to want to flee the neighborhood.

I went to a segregated elementary school in the 90's.

In college, most of the black male students self segregated. Our senior class president was one of the few black males who did Not self segregate.

At least the segregation is voluntary

i live in Mississippi and the most blacks are good but wow no fathers in there homes kids having kids and i know a lady who is a grand mother at 26 and she has five kids and no father for her kids ...the moms are more concerned about there hair or cell phone

How are things in Liberia now? They got to do it their way so it must be some kind of Wakandan Utopia by now right?

Privatize all schools, then we can stop socialism, and teachers would have to learn how to teach, not just expound garbage on students!!!!!!

"She's won a full scholarship to a black college" WAIT What was that? Black College? Isn't that SEGREGATION?

Have the people who make these types of things ever been to school? Put groups of different people in a room and they segregate themselves. What's wrong with that? Why wouldn't people want to be around others with whom they share commonalities?

What about the students who are Latin American, Asian American, Native American and Middle Eastern Americans and do not forget there are children of mixed ethnic backgrounds? Segregation makes no sense to me.

This is an extremely biased perspective. In the framing if the story it doesn't compare the current state of the school in regards to the race of students to the racial make of the neighboring high schools. It only show the one High school in that one district. This is the media class's attempt to divide and conquer. The framing also leads one to speculate that the Euro-Americans attend a racially monolithic school. But they did not do a comparison to show us that. This "news" organization should be ashamed of themselves. And if there was law against journalism malpractice these people would be broke from the lawsuits

Segregation is best for all.

As someone who actually goes to a predominantly black school. It is actually the best in the area and it is was proved that my school has the highest grades on avarage than all the other schools in the area. Each school no matter the predominant race in that school differs. If you get the right teachers who actually put effort into their jobs it doesn't matter where you are from. And different countries and area have a different standard of education

maybe now my kids can learn without being distracted

Just because majority of blacks live I one area and fill up a school don’t mean it’s segregation. The school in an area with all or Majority black will be majority black just like a school in a majority white will be majority white

4:55 "No requirements to make a racial mix" If people dont want to be together then why should they have to?

Sure it is all black but it looks like a nice school, who cares? I am against the government forcing integration upon people. I could understand if this school looked real dirty and wasn't well kept but honestly what is the point.

Where I live we don’t even think about racial stuff at all ,such a shame America does

Malcolm said you could never legislate equality.

birds of the same feather flocks together love it.
