- Tichy 17y agoAnd in 1901 black kids were going to "normal" schools and they achieved the same results as white kids?
- gabrielroth 17y agoDid I say anything about black or white kids?
- Tichy 17y agoNot you, but a post further up the tree made the claim that differences in performance between white and black kids only started appearing in the sixties.
- anamax 17y agoNope. Many black kids were going to black schools, which did not have equal resources. (Not all schools were segregated.) However, I was writing about results. For economic reasons, black kids couldn't afford to stay in school as long, but while they were there, they did pretty well. This shouldn't be surprising. The players and teams in Negro Baseball League was every bit as good as those in "the majors" even though they played on very different fields.
