brown v board trial historical context.

Good afternoon to you all, Given the historical context of the relationship between whites & blacks, integration shouldn't be allowed.  While the pure intention fueling this integration is to ensure equality and opportunity for Black people, the consequences of a forced integration simply won't be as positive as people hope. Integration could be looked at as a step to racial equality, but the reality of the matter is much more complex. Due the historical consistency of black resistance to white domination, the impact of the major deficit of educational preparation, and the potential harms that integration would inflict on both White & Black communities. 

Arguably the biggest reason for opposing integration is the ongoing act of black resistance to white supremacy. For hundreds of years, African Americans have had horrifying treatment inflicted onto them, including slavery, and violent racial segregation known as Jim Crow. Despite this, the negro community has continued to fight back through a plethora of forms of rebellion, both non-violently in cases such as the Montgomery bus boycott,  and violently In cases such as the nat turner rebellion, these acts of resistance made impact and raised tension that had already existed, white people responded to both of these famous acts violently to keep the idea of intimidation and domination.

President Eisenhower "if we try to move too far too fast, it will be troubling instead of benefitting." he was completely right, when you look back in time, Many acts of the government trying to give black people a chance to catch up only enraged white people, for example the Reconstruction era following the Civil War, when African Americans were faced with terrors such as the rise of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).  Or  the Tulsa race massacre where a thriving Black community in Oklahoma, known as "Black Wall Street" was brutally attacked by a mob of white people simply because they saw black people doing good. It has been a recurring cycle and history will only continue to repeat itself. 

In view of this, it is imperative that we consider how integration would not simply bring about peace but could raise existing racial tension. Especially given the amount of anger, disgust, and hatred that white supremacists who have historically maintained their dominance over African Americans already have. This isn't only a concern of equal educational opportunity for children, integration could also lead to further violence and social instability for the adults that were taught this lifestyle their entire lives. 

Another huge concern for integration is that it will provide African American youth with access to advanced educational resources and opportunities. However,  the idea that negro students would be  prepared to thrive in the white educational system is simply unrealistic. The systemic deprivation of black kids's access to education compared their white counterparts leaves them at a significant disadvantage.

The decision of  Brown v. Board of Education will most likely be motivated by the Goal of racial equality, but I believe it will over look the complexities of the cultural differences simply by mixing students from different racial backgrounds. Forced integration will only ignore the educational differences that exist between white and African American schools, and place negro students in a hostile environment that they are not yet ready for both mentally and physically it will repeat the history of black resistance and raise the potential for violent response. We have to take heed to the idea that instead of creating equality it will deepen the already existing divide in society. It is transparent to me that the solvent to this idea of inequality lies not in forced integration, but in providing the resources to negro children and letting them foster in an empowering community on their own.
