This might sound hard to believe, but when I attended Von Steuben Junior High School in Detroit from 1971-1973, there was not one black(or African-american) kid in my whole school. However, when I started Osborn High School in 1974, the ratio was about 50/50.

Yes, hard to believe about Detroit but I'll take your word for it. Here in the San Francisco Bay Area (where Berkeley is located), schools were integrated pretty much after WWII. Lots of blacks worked the shipyards here during WWII and were integrated into the communities. And Berkeley is right next to Richmond where major shipyards existed. When I went to school in the early 1950s in SF all the schools were mixed race, including having black teachers. Busing of kids started in the early 1960s to further integrate black kids from black ghettos and white kids from white districts. Sadly, I was bused to a black school even though my school was already mixed and a few blocks from my home.

Kamala Harris is full of sh*t and a very rotten b*tch, but everyone already knows that.

I guess they weren’t ‘busing kids’ where you lived like they did in some areas to achieve racial equality in schools.
