  > I'm not sure citation is needed to prove the origin and consequences of segregation And I didn't ask for one. I want one on the origin of school districts. As you noted, neighborhoods were segregated. As a consequence of that, everything local was de facto segregated, but that doesn't mean you can infer that everything local has a racist origin. For instance, since neighborhoods were segregated a neighborhood's sewers were generally only available to one race. Do you conclude that public sanitation has racist origins?

    The sewer system and fire department were vastly inferior in the segregated neighborhood of Five Points in Denver, CO. Source: http://www.nolegacylost.com http://www.nolegacylost.com I'm surprised segregated/poorer neighborhoods having worse services is up for debate. Segregation had racist origins. Segregation was by race. But I concede, not everything local has a racist origin, obviously.
