SEGREGATED SCHOOLS

Segregation is when blacks and whites didn't get along. The blacks had the worst things to use and the whites got the fancy things. The blacks were treated unfairly but when it came down to the white people they were treated better than the black people. God made us equally he made us to treat each other fairly and to have peace in the world not to fight and have segregation and slavery. Black and Latino students are educated in U.S. schools that are increasingly segregated, that undercut optimism about race in America. Blacks and Hispanics are more separate from white students than at any time since the civil rights movement and many of the schools they attend are struggling, said the report by the Civil Rights Project at the University of California.

Effects of segregation

In the urban public schools throughout the country we find the “separate but unequal” hallmark of segregation (actually, an American-style apartheid system) still very much in effect. In the South, things were most particularly unequal as people of color were forced to sit in the back of the bus, drink at different fountains, and sit in separate train cars, etc. They were barred from most places of business owned by whites and could not try on clothes in department stores. Poll taxes, tests with arcane questions, and outright intimidation prevented them from voting. Of course, people of color living in northern communities endured similar, if less harsh treatments. After years of argument and deliberation, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, issued its unanimous ruling. In the decision, Warren wrote, “Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the Negro group. A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn. The assumption that separation denotes or implies inferiority is one that must be challenged.

Segregated schools produce unemployed Roma people

Segregated schools produce unemployed Roma people” and this is one of the most important problems that the Roma living in Hungary has to face today. It is considered that the Roma are the real loosers of the political and economic changes that took place in 1989/90 in Hungary and in Central Europe. This is true not just economically, but in all segments of life they are on the periphery of society. Unemployment affects a very big percentage the Roma and by far this is considered to be the biggest problem. In the socialist system everybody had a job, therefore many Roma families are nostalgic of those times. Besides, it is the housing and their access to education is also quite difficult problems to solve .
