Brown V Board Reaction

 To start, I am very angry that I was not chosen to represent this case. I love Brown vs The board of education. This case is so interesting to study. The need to desegregate schools was so strong but began to fell short because of racial disparities. Understanding that segregation of schools boils down to the notion that it is more of an economic issue than a social issue. That is just my two cents about it.

 

During this trial I found it quite interesting how compelling both sides were. To start, obviously, the side for desegregation had a strong point. The point of it is not equal is their most strongest point in my opinion. After Plessy V Ferguson, America adopted the theme of separate but equal which showed later to not be true. There was nothing ever equal about how they treated people of color. I do wish they had focused on different races. The biggest focus when talking about these issues is always black and white, but other races were also suffering along side us.

 

I hate to say it, but for segregation in schools also had a strong standpoint. Mostly because of the moral dilemma. Black kids deserve to have representation. They deserve to see people that look like them succeed. Her saying it really struck a chord in me. I know growing up in a predominately white environment made me hate my skin. Made me feel uncomfortable in it. I can tell you millions of stories that my peers have endured because of the color of their skin. Knowing that now I cannot even truly imagine what it was like back then. I think that moral dilemma would win the hearts of any person who has little to no representation in their way of life.

 

Lastly, the religious argument was oddly a good point. During these times black and white kids were not raised the same so their parents have no clue what is being taught in the other’s homes. So, the point of keeping kids “innocence” is a valid point to parents. This will appeal the parents the most
