 TR> He must have grown up in the south somewhere (Alabama, maybe?).

Actually, mostly in Florida.

 TR> I started school in the mid 1940's. I went to all public schools. In
 TR> every school I was ever in there were black students. I was even put in
 TR> a mostly black school in the ghetto for two years as a punishment by
 TR> the superentendent of the city's school district.

I also went to public schools starting in the mid 1940s.  Although I
certainly saw blacks on the streets, I never saw them in any of my
schools until I left Florida to go to college.  Years later I went back
to my high school and asked the principal there -- where did the blacks
go to high school.  I went there and it was a much smaller building and
no longer in service as a school.

 TR> All schools I went to were staffed by public school teachers. Whatever
 TR> I was taught in those schools, black students were taught as well.

As I just said -- not true where I went to school until I left for
college.

 TR> Everything I was exposed to in the way of teaching in the public
 TR> schools, the black students were taught at the same time.

Not my experience.

 TR> When I hear or read that crap about blacks having been at a
 TR> `disadvantage' in school....or `blacks never had the same chance as
 TR> whites'....thats horseshit! Pure and simple horseshit!

Not my experience, and not according to documented evidence that is
public knowledge.  That fact is the reason for desegregation orders
years later.
