Gov. Brownback apologized for segregation

[Pandora]

This happened last Thursday and I have only one question ......

TOPEKA -- Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is preparing to sign a proclamation apologizing to African-American citizens for the years of segregation sanctioned by state laws.

Brownback scheduled the signing for today, the 58th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown v. Topeka Board of Education.

The 1954 ruling declared separate schools for blacks and whites inherently unequal and struck down the doctrine of “separate but equal” as a justification for segregated educational facilities.

Among those invited to the signing are Deborah Dandridge, chairwoman of the Kansas African American Affairs Commission, and Mildred Edwards, the commission’s executive director.

..... Why?

Good that he's no longer in the Senate, but there are more like him that need to go.

Like, why, he wasn't responsible for it and next question or statement is blacks actually did better back when there was some segregation because there wasn't anybody to blame but themselves when the student failed. Some black schools actually bettered their white counterparts academically. Integrations has just given racism a green light.

Yeah warpmine, they did better and they were passing it on.
There was an area of town, all black owned, that had tailor
shops and ready made suits, same with shoe shops, movie
theaters, everything.  It was all destroyed after MLK.

If it were not for liberals and their go fast agenda there would be
none of this because they would be competing in the marketplace
with the rest of us.
 
The racial bias was made and pushed by the liberal progressives.
General Pershing integrated the cavalry and Wilson undid it. It can
be marked from that time on (Margaret Sanger) they actively worked
to undermine black success.

By the fifties the contradiction was too obvious.  I know I wasn't the
only curious kid who did comparative analysis of the two adjacent
drinking fountains, rest rooms, and such.  What was different? Nothing.
Well is it that way?  Because that's the way it is.  No, that's not an
answer why is it that way?  What's wrong with Nellie, she keeps me
all day, she cooks my meals and whips my axe if I misbehave what's
going on?

Their time had come and the progressives found another way to cut their
legs out from under them.
