probably your best argument, the notion being white people only wanted to live with other white people...however, you'd be hard pressed to get 95% of white people to vote for the same candidate...what you're describing is just essentially the popularly held idea that black people were inferior and dangerous. There wasn't a "white community" White people were the kent state students and the soldiers who shot them. Again, there is no desegregation or civil rights without white people...you don't think such a small percentage of the population just forced it's will on an unwilling population? White people thought segregation was immoral, white people thought it was necessary, some white people didn't care. There was a diversity of thought and opinion. That's why there isn't segregation. Thank god white people didn't exhibit the kind of homogenous behavior exhibited today by the black community...things would still be pretty fricked.
