Brown vs. Board of Education and Interest-Conversgence Dilema

I found this article extremely interesting to read. Yet I didn't agree with much of it. When I first started reading it I got the feeling that it absolutely a proganda article that focused on numbers, stats and different theories that continued to not be proven.

I remember my grandpa telling me about the Brown vs. Board of Education in 1954 and how important it was for everyone. This article says that it's not that simple. It says that once again whites are behind a goal to control the United States and racial equality. I don't buy it. I found stereotype after sterotype concerning Professor Herbert Wechsler, and ultimately Professor Charles Black. There were theories talked about how integration hurts blacks more than whites, or whites just won't accept social equality. I think we need to give it a chance and not focus on just negative aspects from Brown vs. Board of Ed.

After seeing how some people viewed this Supreme Court case, I formed my own opinion. I thought of how this article only talks about how the desegregation would hurt blacks from an educational standpoint. I think that integration teaches more than just book smarts. For someone to say the United States goal of desegregation is controversial and meant to keep blacks at a disadvantage is hard for me to take. I found this article somewhat confusing so I hope I understood it right.

In all of these generalizations and small target group that was looked at I formed another question. If people are unhappy with the techniques used after Brown vs. Board, what are some alternatives? This article gave a lot of information on the courts, theories and issues, but not how to necesarily solve them. That's my problem. This issue doesn't seem like such an issue inretrospect. I realize my opinion is completely biased, but I just don't like seeing the race card get pulled. Instead of that approach I would love to see ways to work on it and make changes if they need to be made.
