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.)
