First, if I may, a little history. Back in the day of my youth, little Black children were not permitted in the schools for little White kids. Then, one day, a court decision came down and said, you can’t do that anymore. It was in the Eisenhower years that black children were permitted in white schools. Moreover, It was said and enforced that the schools have students from both White and Black. Only, back then, Black was considered the pejorative word. Back then, everyone used the word that is considered the pejorative word now… that is unless you’re Black.

The result was something called, de facto segregation. That is a fancy term that means that the Whites moved to a different parts of town and hence the best schools were denied to the Black students because of their location.

This is when the Supreme Court started ordering bussing. Some students in some cities were transported hours across town to make sure the schools were integrated. Sorry, didn’t work. Sounds good. For a while the schools were integrated to some degree. However, in as much as possible, people started finding ways around that. Some moved completely out of the city or even the county. Suddenly, many private schools popped up, some were religion base, some not. Some just simply provided educations for their children at home. It embarrassed the public schools. Even the kids schooled at home were getting better educations than those in public schools.

Regardless, the Black students came out on the short end of the stick again. Specifically, locally, people who could moved from Memphis to the county. I’ve seen many private schools, especially as an aside in churches. In all situations, those that left the Memphis City schools got better educations. I’m not standing in judgement here. The numbers proved my point. Moreover, the people saw the obvious and even more abandoned the city, as it happened throughout the country. Clearly, the parents didn’t need to see the numbers. When they see the neighbor kids in private schools get better educations, they didn’t need anything to hit them in the head to figure it out.

Overnight, the populations of the cities changed. In Memphis, the city was mostly white by a small margin. Now it is not close. I would guess about 60 or 65% black. It was what was known as white flight. It didn’t have to be proved. It was obvious. It would not surprise me if the city 70% Black in the next census.

There has been a lot to happen since then. I’m not going through the details on how it happened but now, the county is being run by those who did run the city schools, democrats. It resulted in more white flight and many school systems were set up by the other smaller cities in the county.

So, same thing. There are Black schools in the county. The white schools are in the smaller cities, Germantown, Millington, Collierville and so forth. Those students in the small cities are getting the better education as proved by statewide testing. (and not by just a little) There are those Blacks who live in those cities, but basically, not that many. Most Black people can’t afford the more expensive housing.

However, it didn’t stop there. Desoto, County has been really growing here lately, Surprise, surprise, even some African-Americans are seeing the light. The black population in Desoto county, percentagewise has gone up. The area I moved into was totally white in 1975. Now it is more like 60% white. Understand, I am not complaining. Mostly, I have had no problems. Hopefully, I have not been a problem with them.

There is one hitch. Many have brought their politics with them. That which they are fleeing in Memphis, they are instituting in Desoto County. White, Blue Green, I don’t care. However, when they start putting democrats in office, I’m selling this house and I’m gone.

Nonetheless, there is one part of education that the Black students are not able to penetrate and it would seem the dems are going to see to it that it never happens. You see, in general, Black people cannot afford to put the kids in private schools. So, maybe the private schools should be grateful. If and when the Dems start running the private schools, we will again have white flight. I don’t know. Just a guess.

You doubt me? Check for yourself. Separate schools didn’t work. Integration didn’t work. Bussing didn’t work. On the other hand finances work just fine. And the dems are going to make sure it continues to work. Every time a Republican suggests that we allow black people to go to private schools, the dems raise a really loud clammer that would prevent a proper thinking process.

They never approach it from the segregation standpoint. It is always that we must protect the public school you see. I mean, what would happen if all the kids in the county went to public schools. What would happen to the public schools? The public schools would collapse and those that are running them would have to go somewhere else to pilfer the public treasuries.

Oh. And by the way, the Black students would get good educations and they would lose their purpose to complain about segregation.

Then again, they would have two more problems. It will be obvious to one and all that the dems don’t know how to teach. Moreover, they will lose their method of brainwashing our kids. Well, I guess there would be one more problem. It would suddenly become clear that their only purpose for running the schools is to turn out children into communists.
