Wow...you really have some reading comprehension issues, don't you?
You should take another read of my post, and try real hard to ascertain whether I was addressing your comment that without the Civil Rights Act we'd have de facto segregation.
We do have the Civil Rights Act, correct?
We do have de facto segregation, correct?
You can either rebut the contention that we have de facto segregation, or you can acknowledge that whatever the benefits of the Civil Rights Act may be, desegregation really isn't one of them.
If you'd like to make the argument that black folks get a much better deal before the law today than they did pre-CRA, then I suggest you bring some incarceration statistics to the discussion. Would you like some help finding these stats?
