We didn't end segregation, we ended legally enforced segregation. I went to a segregated school from K-6 (one white kid, whose only living parent was black), and that was in the 80s, when busing was pretty active. I'm sure many of you who live in the US live in segregated neighborhoods, and attended segregated schools.

What's strange is the common insistence that segregation has ended, and what's remaining is somehow by the choice of the participants, even the ones who lose out: the strangeness is that that argument is no different from the arguments made during legal segregation, when the claim was that the law was just a representation and reflection of values held in common.

If today you stood on the corner of the block I grew up on in Chicago for a year, you'd never see a white person.
