This episode will talk about the need for people of color to recognize that the integration was not in the best interest of the Black American.
Since integration, you could see a parallel in the decline of the Black family unit. It was almost simultaneous.
The teachers were black and cared about the well being of the students in their charge. What’s more the line of communication between the teacher, parent, and student was continuous.
What happened to the school spirit that we had during that time? The culture? The pride that we took in competing against rival communities? Whether that be academic, music, or sports.
For those that can remember, we had rumor mills of those that didn’t do well with their school work. You did not want to be on that list. You were teased and of course you had to face the wrath of your parents. Your response was to work as hard as hell to do better.
Even though our black school did not have all of the financial backing or equal funding, we cared about insuring that our kids would be able to compete with anyone.
Segregation in schools is still going on. Just look around. The elite schools in New York City, have gate keepers. You have to have influence, to get into these schools. And we know that the blacks are placed at a disadvantage. Believe it or not New York has some of the most segregated schools in the country.
What is missing is the funding required to identify as a black school. The lost is the family unit and the care provided by the teacher to student to parent. This was the glue that promoted pride within the Black community. Now we are just a number. If we don’t get it, Special Ed. That was not the case at one time. Yes, you are going to have slow people but they were not stereotyped and sent to isolation. They now are used as fodder to feed the criminal justice system.
