Yeah... the democrats were in power down here. You know why blacks are moving South... they are treated much better here than in places like Dayton and Chicago.

“Most people assume that school segregation was a phenomenon exclusive to the South. In his latest book, “Jim Crow Moves North: The Battle Over Northern School Segregation, 1865-1954,” law professor Davison M. Douglas examines the untold story of northern school segregation between the end of the Civil War and the early 1950s. Douglas, the Arthur B. Hanson Professor of Law, is a legal historian with an expertise on the interplay of race and law in American history. He recently sat down with the W&M News to discuss his book, which is being published by Cambridge University Press and will be available this month in stores.”

Your point is like saying some northern colleges resisted admitting black students. That's probably true. However, I don't recall that any of them involved 3,500 troops, 500 law enforcement officers, riots, and a student who required 24-hour protection from U.S. Marshalls.
Remember South bashing is a full time hobby for some. Given our weather, land, creativity, cooking and beautiful women I attribute it to extreme jealousy....
