You need to use the restroom, get a cup of coffee and sit down to ingest the latest from Those Who Can See, Segregation: Our Most Cherished Myths. It is simply stunning in the detail but it is time consuming, as many of the posts there are, because of the sheer volume of data to be absorbed. The big takeaway is that in spite of decade after decade of attempts to force the races together by means of shaming and court orders, we still, both black and white, prefer the company of others like ourselves. When Whites do this, it is of course a sign of racism.
The topic of segregation, like virtually every topic that touches on race in America, is usually so muddled with political and monetary considerations that it is nigh impossible to get the facts. The post I linked above helps to cut through the nonsense and give you some real data to work through and is to be commended for that reason.
