   TR> He must have grown up in the south somewhere (Alabama, maybe?).   
      
      
   DS>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.   
      
      
   DS>I also went to public schools starting in the mid 1940s.  Although I   
   DS>certainly saw blacks on the streets, I never saw them in any of my   
   DS>schools until I left Florida to go to college.  Years later I went back   
   DS>to my high school and asked the principal there -- where did the blacks   
   DS>go to high school.  I went there and it was a much smaller building and   
   DS>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.   
      
      
   DS>As I just said -- not true where I went to school until I left for   
   DS>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.   
      
      
   DS>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!   
      
      
   DS>Not my experience, and not according to documented evidence that is   
   DS>public knowledge.  That fact is the reason for desegregation orders   
   DS>years later.   
      
      
   Not surprised. You're talking about the South. Where I grew up people had   
   families who's recent ancesters had fought in the Civil War on the Union side   
   to end slavery. There was an old man around 120 years old who was a Civil War   
   veteran. I used to walk past his house going to and from one of the schools I   
   attended. He died around 1949 or there abouts.   
      
      
   Blacks attended school the same as I did. Neither I nor any of the members of   
   my family or ancestry going back to my great grandfathers, ever owned a slave,   
   sold a slave, or even believed in slavery.   
      
      
   Neither I nor any member of my family owe a penny in `reparations' to anyone.   
      
      
   Nor do we have any `white guilt' about slavery!   
      
      
   Do I think `reparations' should be paid? No!   
      
      
   There is not a single black person alive in this country today who ever lived   
   as a slave in this country.   
      
      
   But.....if `reparations' are wanted to be paid......I have no objection to   
   each and every democrat being made to pay them!
