If we predated race back to an earlier time in history, race is not determine biologically. There is no type of genetic materials that determines a person belonging to a certain race. Race is more towards a modern time in history to justify the reason why there are slaves in American history. In the film “Power of an illusion”, is a documentary of race in historical time during racial segregation among the blacks and whites. According to demographic studies there is the notion of the red and green line that divides the whites and blacks demographically. The whites would be demographically in one area and isolated from the blacks. The reason why is because the whites would be able to have more power and opportunities verses the blacks. This would also become harder for blacks to build their own adequate because banks would see that blacks would be a financial risk compare to the white. This also leads to why whites would live together because they are afraid of losing their own wealth by living among the blacks.
Therefore, racial segregation has been continuing even until this day. Public school are still racially segregated where you could fine a majority of blacks attending only a specific school with no whites or vice versa there would be a majority of whites and fewer blacks in that one specific school. Although, it is consider illegal to stop a person from attending a school because of the brown vs board of education to stop segragation but it still exist in the segragated house patterns that still base on the race. Schools like the inner city with public schools that have more blacks and little diversity is because demographically the blacks are the majority that lives in these inner city compare to the whites living in the suburb.
These racial segregated school can also impact on the economic wealth that is being funded to certain schools. Schools with majority of whites would have more funding compare to a public school with majority of blacks. Therefore, this brings inequality in terms of the opportunities given to whites are better than black. Whites would have more opportunity in life compare to the blacks that would have less opportunities.
Even though we try and stop racial segregation it still exist in our society. Although there are laws stating it is illegal to have a segragated school but the homes and demographics of our race are still segragated and so it leads to kids going to school being segragated with less opportunities.

Great! I agree that alot of the schools are still separated but I think that this has alot more to do with the wealth of the families. Obviously people living in inner cities are more than likely to attend public schools which have a vast amount of black people and a very low amount of whites. The fact that certain white people attend better schools and why so many black people attend inner city schools is a direct result of the segregation of housing and how a persons wealth is in their house. Their income was therefore different and the white families recieved more perks in schools. The effects are still being seen in the school system.
