Isn't that a type of integration? And we were discussing racist laws... Integration or miscegenation or something else...

>I thought we were discussing anti-integration (laws prohibiting integration) laws? The discussion was on schools and integration, was it not?

>>You wrong. That's not 17. I counted 30: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-miscegenation_laws

>>That's hard to understand for me people has different rights in a country's different regions...

>>>What was a general pratice in a part of the country was not the only practice, nor was it the general practice all across this country. It was not nationwide. In fact, it was 17 states that had laws that prohibited integration. As you know, we are not a country of only 17 states. History tends to forget that and leave out the reality. Even in the south, the University of Texas Law School began admitting black students in 1950. That does not diminish the damage done and the injustice on many places, but I just want to remind you that it was not all across the country and in every city and school. There are many stories of caucasion people who travelled to parts of the country who were astonished to learn of the segregation they witnessed when they arrived.
