Home to the first African-American kindergarten west of the Mississippi River, Topeka became the home of Linda Brown, the named plaintiff in Brown v. Board of Education which was the case responsible for eliminating the standard of "separate but equal", and requiring racial integration in American public schools.
Here's a little factual history of racial segregation in the Great State of Kansas.
Anyone remember Brown v. Board of Education? Of course not because your mouths
run faster than your brains.
African Americans had to sue in Kansas to get access to educational equality. So, hey kettle,
you're black, so to speak.
At the time the suit was filed, only the elementary schools were segregated in Topeka.
Monroe Elementary, a segregated school that figured in the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision, is now
Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site with interpretive exhibits. The National Historic Site was opened by
President George W. Bush on May 17, 2004.
Topeka has struggled with the burden of racial discrimination even after Brown. New lawsuits attempted unsuccessfully to
force suburban school districts that ring the city to participate in racial integration with the inner city district. In the late 1980s
a group of citizens calling themselves the Task Force to Overcome Racism in Topeka formed to address the problem in a more organized way.
Yea, you guys have a long history of racial tolerance in Kansas.
Integration lawsuits BEGAN in Kansas, yet they utter the word "racist" as lame attempt to belittle.
Not only are you stupid, but, you don't read much, either.
Must have taken awhile for you to google "racism" and "kansas". What side of the Civil War was Arkansas on again?
The fact of the matter is that people in Arkansas don't really spend too much time trying to recall a war that ended almost
150 years ago, but, obviously, you do. You must be seeking some sense of identity that your mother denied you as a child.
Maybe she didn't let you drag on the tit long enough. Flying what's come to be known as the "Confederate Flag," which the
"Stars and Bars" isn't and never was if you know anything about the Civil War, isn't something that's common in Arkansas,
nor any other southern state other than South Carolina and maybe Mississippi, and then it's flown by dumbasses. Even
southerners know this. So, if you're trying to hang the actions of a few on an entire populace, well, you're a bigot yourself and
you obviously have a good deal of self-hatred that you project upon others in an attempt to justify your existence and bolster
a false sense of superiority by "us/them" comparisons. Rather than talk sports or even trash talk about the football game,
which is what fans do, somehow racism, the Civil War, delusions of money, fame, cars, are the topics you dwell on.
If I had to guess, I'd say you and your buddies here are probably twelve or thirteen year old boys, with zits, oily hair and braces, who
routinely rub one out in the bathroom with a porno mag. If you aren't, that's what you sound like.
So while you obsess about a subject on which you're sorely misinformed, just realize that each time you let your fingers
express the diarrhea that would otherwise flow from your mouth, anyone with any education recognizes you as the
pathetic personality disorder that you are.
Turn off the computer, go wash your face, and stop hanging out with your online gaming crew. Try to find yourself
a girlfriend and develop some social skills. It'll relieve your parents.
