Provide evidence that 5% of the schools in Virginia are 100% black. (I'm not sure that there is a single school in Virginia that is 100% black. Even in DC, there are schools that are only 1% or 2% white, but none that I know of that are 100% black. And even your pet example in North Carolina has no schools that are 100% black. 98% I think was the highest when I looked.) lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, Founder, The Logical Language Group (Opinions are my own; I do not speak for the organization.)
