■y|| From Black
The issue of busing is being
talked about more and more
in the Black community. Why,
I don't know. One of the first
things that we ought to notice
is the kind of people who are
raising the most steam about
busing in the white communi
ty. A close look will show us
the same folks who opposed
freedom of choice, desegrega
tion, and still talk about states
rights. If we look at the com
monality of all of these argu
ments we will find a basic
kind of racism that has sur
rounded the whole educational
process since 1954. The same
people, the same reasons but
different issues.
The truth of the matter
where busing is, concerned is
that white kids have been
bussed for years, not to men
tion how black kids have been

bussed. The other fact is the
basic contradiction of the
whole school > desegregation
process. In this country with
segregation to the roots it is
very rare indeed to find a
Black person and a white who
live in walking distance of the
same school. This reflects
neighborhood or residential
segregation. Thus the fact be
comes, if you expect to have
Black pupils and white pupils
in the same school, the ques
tion of transportation comes
to bear, Just that simple.
So if one is very clear in
looking at the current bussing
disturbance, he can hear the
real protests. (1) Don't bring
those Black children into our
schools, (2) Don't take our
children over there to those
Black schools. That's all being
said, no more, no less. The

get i-iiught up ill iliU argu-
DMilt, and to argue for what
ever it is that white people
dou't want as we have in lite
put. The argument this time
has to be between white peo
ple in Washington and white
people out of Washington,
Not us. We ought to stay in
tune with what is happening
and make certain we are not
messed over in the process.
The other very real factor
is that the dominant push in
the Black community has al
ways been toward quality edu
cation/and or equal education.
The supreme court declared
separate not equal, not Black
folks, gince the early sixties
Black people have come to rea
lize that there is no special edu
cational value in sitting beside
a white person. In fact recent
ly some of us realize that
Black people may not be in
fact talking about the same
education that white people
get. For we recognize that
while white people are being
taught how to preserve this
system, we need to be about
changing how to preserve this
system, we need to be about
changing or destroying it, a
different education. We recog
nize that everything good for
white people does not have to
be automatically good for
Black people. We ought to re
cognize that the educational
needs of the oppressed are not
the same as those of the op
pressor.
But realizing that the re
volution is yet to happen, we
ought to at least keep in mind
our overall objective; quality
education that speaks to the
needs of Black people. We
must not be sidetracked by
jive white arguments on
bussing, integration, etc. So
It is busing or not, integration
or not Black people must be
meaningfully educated with or
without white people.
Briefly; many Black people
are being sidetracked by the
neighborhood school concept.
The question is not where the
school is to be located, but
who is to control the school.
White people are talking about
control by all white people
except those in Washington.
You see, prior to the early
sixties we had neighborhood
schools, they were controlled
from the racist school board
office, by white administra
tors, and white washed prind-
