<<It doesn't matter what the law was, segregation wasn't just bad it was horrendously bad. Is there any doubt about that?

In theory segragation sounds awful, in practice de-segregation is often worse.

I am talking about segregation in the south. Do you want to defend that?

Are the blacks really better off? Is society as a whole better off? The answer is not so obvious.

You avoided my question. Do you consider de-segregation of the Boston public schools to have been a success?
