You take black kids that been going to a black school with all black teachers and automatically throw them in a school with all white teachers (and vice versa), this could easily handicap the education of the child.. they tried to make it seem all about the kids but seriously went about it the complete wrong way imo

Everyone should listen to Malcolm Gladwell's Revisionist History podcast on this very subject.
Black kids in black schools were doing just fine before Brown. No one cared more about the betterment of black kids more than black teachers.
When black kids were moved into classrooms with white teachers, those kids became discriminated against. Summary of the podcast. Worth a listen.

That wasn't what the court was deciding.

Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other "tangible" factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does.
quote:
Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children. The impact is greater when it has the sanction of the law, for the policy of separating the races is usually interpreted as denoting the inferiority of the negro group. A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn. Segregation with the sanction of law, therefore, has a tendency to [retard] the educational and mental development of negro children and to deprive them of some of the benefits they would receive in a racial[ly] integrated school system.
