White guilt is very much responsible for when whites stand up in opposition to things like this.
Did a white man come up with this idea? No, but whites are in this thread and in the streets claiming "im not racist, i would never support segregated schools."
and that is very much white guilt, it doesnt have to be a compassion policy.
You guys should read Shelby Steels book:White Guilt" maybe THEn youll know where I am coming from.

I am of the mindframe that public schools isnt where Id send my kids, and if you dont want to send your kid to the afro school, send them somewhere else. Public schools are not good anyway. |
There are segregationists in all groups. But if you ask the majority of Canadian Blacks, I would wager that they think this separate school idea is idiotic. As others have said, this is a product of special interest groups pushing their inane agenda upon everybody else.
There may be problems with public education, but mandatory public education is a necessity for those who can't afford to attend private schools. I went to public school, how about you?
