Education after Desegregation

OK, love Huffington Post because it give us a not traditional view what is going on in the world. Christopher Bonastia’s article caught my eye this morning titled “How Different Do Schools Look Today 50 Years After Prince Edward County, Virginia? I think back on my days of going to school in the public system of New York City and yes the schools may have been desegregated but I lived in a poor neighborhood in Brooklyn, NY so when I sat in class everyone looked like my self I do not call that desegregation.

School may have been desegregated but poverty and low incomes also placed you in a position of living in areas that did not allow you to go to school with whites. The first time I sat in a class with a person who was white besides a teacher was in my first College class at Baurch in New York City. Moving to the South has done something that I did not have when I grew up it has given my girls the opportunity to attend school with all types of children. They have what I did not have friends of all kind of backgrounds, culture and color besides Latino. I appreciate this because the really world is more then Black and White.

Made In the USA

I am a firm believer of “Made in the USA” not to many of those these days! President Obama seems to also a believer of the USA brand! “I’m calling on those businesses that haven’t brought jobs back to take this opportunity to get the American people back to work,” Obama said in the prepared remarks. “That’s how we’ll rebuild an economy where hard work pays off and responsibility is rewarded – and a nation where those values lives on.₁” Let’s see if the 14 companies that President Obama meet with will take this into consideration and bring back some jobs to help put Americans back to work. At this time it seems that Ford will be bring back about 2,000 jobs to the US factories by 2015 to states such as Michigan, Ohio and Missouri.

"White Only" Yes it Still Exist

With the celebration of Dr Martin Luther King Jr.’s Birthday coming up on the 16^th I believe that we still have a long way to go 44 years after his death. Believe it that all is not smooth in the relations of people of colored and those who are not. It kind of supported my thinking that change is slow simple look at the fact that a landlord in Ohio placed a sign on her pool which read “Public Swimming Pool, White Only”. This all came to a head when a white resident invited his biracial 10 year old daughter to swim at the pool at his complex. In protecting his child he moved out without addressing the issue – I my opinion he should have made the landlord of the issue. Yes racism lives I believe it may change but dislike will all ways bloom when people do not understand the differences in others. Yes we all are created equal but are not cookie cutter exact learn to appreciate the differences that make us all individuals.
