You've got to be kidding, right
? Sweetie, if I watch documenteries, talk with my parents, grandparents, etc., read history books that actually show the veiwpoints and experiences of Black people and not just what white people want to show, then I know that everything was just separate, definitely NOT EQUAL. Not to mention white people imposed it on us, it wasn't our choice. I have absolutely no problem with "separate but equal" as long as everything is actually EQUAL. And as long as each individual still has the OPTION to do what they want and go where they want, etc. I am fine with an all black neighborhood, HBCUs, or even all black companies. I personally love that. However those who don't should have the option to do otherwise.
