The Brown decision was, in every level, the most racist decision since Dred Scott.

Its basic holding was that black kids were harmed because they weren't able to be around white kids.

Talk to black people who were a product of segregated schools. They were usually the black professionals that went to HBCUs and the rising black middle class of the 50s-70s.

Were they harmed for not being around white kids or bc black public schools were overwhelmingly underfunded compared to white public schools.

Use your head next time

Yup. And then putting them in classes where they had to compete with white kids while being told they were equal crushed their self-esteem. I mean imagine if you took a bunch of Asian kids and put them in a basketball league full of black players and told them they had the exact same chance at success because they were the exact same. They wouldn’t be as good and quickly would start thinking there was something wrong with them which would demoralize them. It’s messed up.
