    TR> He must have grown up in the south somewhere (Alabama, maybe?).   
      
   Actually, mostly in Florida.   
      
    TR> I started school in the mid 1940's. I went to all public schools. In   
    TR> every school I was ever in there were black students. I was even put in   
    TR> a mostly black school in the ghetto for two years as a punishment by   
    TR> the superentendent of the city's school district.   
      
   I also went to public schools starting in the mid 1940s.  Although I   
   certainly saw blacks on the streets, I never saw them in any of my   
   schools until I left Florida to go to college.  Years later I went back   
   to my high school and asked the principal there -- where did the blacks   
   go to high school.  I went there and it was a much smaller building and   
   no longer in service as a school.   
      
    TR> All schools I went to were staffed by public school teachers. Whatever   
    TR> I was taught in those schools, black students were taught as well.   
      
   As I just said -- not true where I went to school until I left for   
   college.   
      
    TR> Everything I was exposed to in the way of teaching in the public   
    TR> schools, the black students were taught at the same time.   
      
   Not my experience.   
      
    TR> When I hear or read that crap about blacks having been at a   
    TR> `disadvantage' in school....or `blacks never had the same chance as   
    TR> whites'....thats horseshit! Pure and simple horseshit!   
      
   Not my experience, and not according to documented evidence that is   
   public knowledge.  That fact is the reason for desegregation orders   
   years later.
