No, you're wrong.

In order to end segregation you must make efforts to diversify and integrate.

It is prior ruling is not a racist policy. The policy was integration to end segregation. It was a ruling that was the result and response to segregation in America.

The new ruling ends that.

Wake up. This nation isn't equal. This nation is still very much divided along racial lines. How do you end segregation if you do nothing about it? How does a black man go from slavery to an equal citizen with those that would have been his slave master?

Are you saying MLK's efforts were wrong? Are you saying that his legacy was racist? When there is segregation something must be done to force integration on those who still refused to accept Black people as equal.

Do not paint a rosy picture of the new ruling. It is one of the worst rulings in America's history. It reverses everything that activists were fighting in the 60's. Your support of this new ruling contradicts any praise one may say about MLK.

Progress has been reversed. Without positive effort to integrate, then we remain segregated. Equality doesn't happen by itself. It happens thanks to the efforts of civil rights leaders which the new ruling called racist.

How can it be racist to promote integration in a nation that had slaves based on race?
