Our substitute teacher was alive during the beginning of desegregation. He’s a funny old white guy, he said that when he’s never spoken to any black person before up until that point. One day, he was seated right next to this black kid who loved talking about baseball. What was interesting is that they both shared the same first name, Robert. The teacher called their names, both of them looked at each and became close friends. He even showed us a picture of them bowling a few years ago.
That’s not at all true. I sure as hell was nervous, after I had the snot beaten out of me my first week (for being wht) and watched four of my best friends suffer the same thing, as middle-class whyt female teachers stood by and did nothing because they were scared of “looking racist”. Bussing was a disaster and both communities, blk and wht were against it. Your propagandised rhetoric does not match up to the real life experience of those who actually had to live through it. Also, I thought you lefties were all pro-democracy? These poor and working-class wht communities had no say in the matter. They were never, ever asked. It was imposed upon them. I guess you only like democracy when it benefits your own interests. But that’s typical of all leftists. That’s how you all are.
Grew up in Eastwood section of Fort Worth and was bused to Lily B. Clayton and then again to Westcliff Elementary. We had no problems at all. I had big fun at Westcliff
I attended Benjamin Franklin JHS on the first day of forced busing. In subsequent days and weeks, Dallas Police squad cars lined Meadow Road in front of the school and police in helmets and batons were deployed in the hallways.
The parents of blacks and whites were the ones to worry about at our school all the students watched out the window in shock as to what I can remember.I was 9 in 1972.
I remember that I got bussed 2 hrs away and the school I was supposed to go to was a 15 minute walk from my house. I was mixed race indigenous and white and to me it made no sense at all and they had a lot of racial fights
My brother went to Dallas SD in the mid-70's during this time. Many of the poor black kids weren't disciplined very well by their parents and would steal from my brother. A few were even violent towards him like the kid @ 2:00 says. My mother was so angry with the busing that she sent my brother to a Christian Private school instead for a couple years.
I was raised in an area of which the only time I saw people of a different skin tone… was television or when dad traveled outside our state region of northern Minnesota. But the first time I heard of an oncoming trouble was the New York riot of 64 I was a child, but my parents were planning a road trip to connect… we saw the aftermath of of the riot on our way back, seemed like miles of building were completely destroyed… it was my first lesson regarding politics and government, though I didn’t understand it at the time.
My idyllic elementary school in Dallas turned into a postapocalyptic thunderdome overnight due to busing. All the students ended up worse off and the weaker students suffered tremendously. I had no idea girls could be so violent until after busing. Seeing a sweet teacher I'd known since kindergarten beaten with a heavy textbook because she had the audacity to ask a black girl to quiet down so we could start class is burned into my mind forever. The look of shock and agony on her face during the brutal attack was heartbreaking. I still have contact on social media with many classmates and we discuss how forced busing obliterated much of our school experience.

@@angryiguana7492 Don't believe everything you see on TV and in movies. No one was shit on "because of their skin". 🙄 And you should know that no one wanted integration. Black people didn't want it either. It wasn't just whites.
Omg I remember this very well. I was 15 at the time . I was also transitioning from male to female and I was picked on for not only being Hispanic but for being a transsexual. It was very hard times. I’m 65 now and I still remmeber this like it was yesterday
I’m an immigrant from Africa and have been living here the last 8 years . This is shocking information. I did not know there were trans people as far back in the early 70s. Wow!
My mom was one of the students sent to an all black school around this time. She remembered being scared but said it was an important step for racism to lessen, and was glad that she went. I was shocked it was so recent, especially in Nevada.
My family was part of the “white flight”movement. We moved from Fort Worth to the suburbs in the mid 1970’s because they were going to forcibly bus my sister to Como for first grade. I was only a toddler, so I don’t remember any of it, but my parents often talked about how they had to uproot their lives and leave behind the neighborhood they had loved for many years because of this nonsense.
They uprooted their lives because they wanted too. Not because they had to. They’re not victims of anyone or anything. Why couldn’t they just move to a neighborhood they liked just as much? 🎻 😞
My religion teaches all people are equal. "All mankind is from Adam and Eve, an Arab has no superiority over a non-Arab nor a non-Arab has any superiority over an Arab; also a White has no superiority over a Black nor a Black has any superiority over a White except by piety and good action. Learn that every Muslim is a brother to every Muslim and that the Muslims constitute one brotherhood. Nothing shall be legitimate to a Muslim which belongs to a fellow Muslim unless it was given freely and willingly."
@@shimmer4771 I never said anything about superiority, i wanna be close to people who have the same culture as me, it’s easy to understand each other, I love blk people and every other person of every race
I was bussed in the late 80s it was horrible the 1st yr!! The white kids were bullied horribly even some teachers didn't want us there 😢 it was a k-5 school. After the first yr we were finally treated like the other kids and we ended up making life long friends
Integration will always be a challenge, even today, but I believe the overall purpose of this was to point out if a child lives within a four to eight mile radius of a school, they should not be barred from entering because of the color of their skin. Busing kids from a school that sits in front of their house, for example, to a school that sits across town will always leave parents in an uproar. Videos like these always interests me.
I'll bet most of the people who think bussing was a good idea never saw it up close. In my area, it was a constant disruption and distraction, due to the fighting and hard feelings.

Lived in Dallas in the 50's and 60's and the schools were segregated. Pinkston, at that time, was all black. The federal government forced "bussing" across town to strange and foreboding neighborhoods was unnerving to say the least. Most White folk in Dallas were dead set against this federal mandate - thanks to liberal activist judges.
I wouldn’t put the blame on the judges. The blame lies with the politicians and general public for creating the conditions that compelled the decision in the first place.
I experienced terrible racism at Richardson Junior High and at Berkner High school in the 70's. Race riots at both schools. The whites were horrible and the blacks took every opportunity to retaliate. Just Tragic. Everson "Cubby" Walls actually saved me from being bullied by his friends one day. I'll never forget it. There is hope.
Why don't you just say bullying? This whole "racism" crap is so old and tired and you're only using it to talk badly about whites when I'm sure you probably had about the same experience or worse with blacks. 🙄
@@skip031890Lol you conservative kids are so sheltered and indoctrinated. These are REAL life that people lived through. You’re acting as if the 60s and 70s were 100 years ago. Plenty of blacks who suffered are most likely 60 years old today. Assuming your parents didn’t teach you this.

There was a lot of fights and bullying, as a result . It wasn’t easy being bussed to a different area. Sometimes it was downright rough. But we lived with it.
@@AAAA-gj7tn to make the judges and politicians who pushed it on the nation feel all warm and fuzzy inside because they thought they actually accomplished something. That's about it.
I wonder if this was a major factor in some of the Dallas suburbs getting so much bigger. Think about Plano and how much it grew from the late 60's to the mid 70's.
Of course it played a role. The suburbs were in large part a result of desegregation for working class whites with families to move out of the cities. Then cities took lesser priority to spend resources on. Thus the further deterioration of those neighborhoods.
@@jimjoneshotkoolaid60 True . But the burbs in the Midwest Rust Belt were much more segregated and to this day the Midwest Rust Belt cites are much more segregated than the southern cites of Dallas Houston Atlanta Tampa Charlotte etc . Busing in the Midwest cites like Milwaukee Detroit Cleveland Akron Pittsburgh Cincinnati Gary was like the civil war.
Plano really grew in the 80s 90s . However the segregation and racial disparities in the Midwest are more blatant than the biggest cites in the south and Texas.
Hate is a reaction to other groups lack of character, disrespect, and propensity for violence. Racism is learned through contact with outsiders, thats why it still exists and is never going away.
@@PersistentPatriot And do you base that racism on everyone who shares the same skin color or phenotype? Would you still show disdain for a black person who was individually a respectable person? If you dislike multicultural societies, then you can go back to Europe. No need to move to non-white indigenous lands if you don’t wanna live with non whites.
@@PersistentPatriot Many white racists in Texas live in towns that have almost no minorities. Their contact with black people is through Fox Entertainment. Don't blame minorities for the ignorance of racists.
@@PersistentPatriot the literal start of racism in the U.S. was white Europeans believing that blacks were subhuman, no matter what their character was. Its funny when your type comes up with made up nonsense to try to excuse your racism even though white people literally started the problem here in this country but also hate black people because they havent achieved the same status or overcome every social problem only 60 years after they became legally allowed to drink from the same water fountain. Go to canada, there's an amazing new medical service they're offering that you should take advantage of.
Critical Race Theory is about far more than talking about bussing and the integration of schools. Talking about honest historical fact is one thing. Idealogical indoctrination of children is quite another.

@@AAAA-gj7tn , if a particular organized religion is teaching something to children that runs contrary to the wishes of the parents, I would hope those parents find another religion, just as I would encourage parents to yank their children from a school that is teaching the heresy of CRT.
@@a1abama Well, parents have always had the right to yank their kids out of a school if they wanted to. The anti-racist parents are probably okay with CRT. From what I have been hearing, the racist parents are pulling their children out and finding schools with more racist curricula.
@@AAAA-gj7tn Nothing wrong with parents refusing to let their children be indoctrinated by subversive propaganda. CRT is an open door to indoctrinating white children with undeserved white guilt.

My mother left alaska in first grade, and went to the uw she got custody when I was in second grade. I moved to seattle with her. My brother went to school across the street when we arrived. I was told I had to wait a week to start school. 8 kids were on a city bus, we were told to hold hands, School had started weeks ago, we were told we would have to catch up. Nobody told me I had multiple classes. A black kid asked to borrow my pencil, then told me there was no pencil, asked if I had any money. I didn't have a schedule was asking where I needed to go. Didn't have pencil constantly late for class, spent most of the day in the principal's office. The principle was about 7 feet tall with a 6 inch fro. He was also my gym teacher. He taught me how to dribble a basketball, but later beat the shit out of me and another kid for being shoved off a bench. By the end of the week there were only 2 kids on the bus. Every day I told my mom what it was like, and asked why I can't go to school here, she said it was the law. I told my dad he got on a jet and came and rescued me. My brother decided to go back to alaska too. I have never really trusted my mom after that.
My Dad was bussed to a Black school in Dallas as a middle school student and some of them attacked him from behind in the school hallway and he had a concussion and broken back. His Dad left a good job and they moved into a rural area so they could get away from it.

I knew the dude at 1:48 was gonna say righteous😂😂. He just seem so in tune with what was going on, he was too cool.
Very wells spoken kids in the 70s in the 2020's not so much lol

There was a lot of fights and bullying, as a result . It wasn’t easy being bussed to a different area. Sometimes it was downright rough. But we lived with it.
What was the point of bussing?
@@AAAA-gj7tn Forced desegregation.
@@jrussellcase What is the point of forced desegregation?
@@AAAA-gj7tn to make the judges and politicians who pushed it on the nation feel all warm and fuzzy inside because they thought they actually accomplished something.
That's about it.
@@jrussellcase maybe if the southern schools weren't so damn racist we wouldn't need to force desegregation
I wonder if this was a major factor in some of the Dallas suburbs getting so much bigger. Think about Plano and how much it grew from the late 60's to the mid 70's.
Of course it played a role. The suburbs were in large part a result of desegregation for working class whites with families to move out of the cities. Then cities took lesser priority to spend resources on. Thus the further deterioration of those neighborhoods.
and how much crime rose
Yeah no shit. White flight.
@@jimjoneshotkoolaid60 True . But the burbs in the Midwest Rust Belt were much more segregated and to this day the Midwest Rust Belt cites are much more segregated than the southern cites of Dallas Houston Atlanta Tampa Charlotte etc . Busing in the Midwest cites like Milwaukee Detroit Cleveland Akron Pittsburgh Cincinnati Gary was like the civil war.
Plano really grew in the 80s 90s . However the segregation and racial disparities in the Midwest are more blatant than the biggest cites in the south and Texas.
Why do these people seem so much smarter than the kids now...
Because the technology and entertainment wasn’t what it is today. VERY different
they're not. Not by any metric. You're making it up because you want to believe it was better in the "old days".
@@adamwright7954 fuck are you on they are definitely smarter than now. I would know, I was in school just a few years ago.
Agreed, so we'll spoken and respectful

Hate is taught.
Hate is a reaction to other groups lack of character, disrespect, and propensity for violence. Racism is learned through contact with outsiders, thats why it still exists and is never going away.
@@PersistentPatriot And do you base that racism on everyone who shares the same skin color or phenotype? Would you still show disdain for a black person who was individually a respectable person?
If you dislike multicultural societies, then you can go back to Europe. No need to move to non-white indigenous lands if you don’t wanna live with non whites.
@@PersistentPatriot Many white racists in Texas live in towns that have almost no minorities. Their contact with black people is through Fox Entertainment. Don't blame minorities for the ignorance of racists.
Why do we still have the same problems with each other over 50 years later?
@@PersistentPatriot the literal start of racism in the U.S. was white Europeans believing that blacks were subhuman, no matter what their character was. Its funny when your type comes up with made up nonsense to try to excuse your racism even though white people literally started the problem here in this country but also hate black people because they havent achieved the same status or overcome every social problem only 60 years after they became legally allowed to drink from the same water fountain.
Go to canada, there's an amazing new medical service they're offering that you should take advantage of.
@1:20 that kid said we had a scramble lol. We should bring that back similar to tussle. 😂
So kids fighting is alright as long as it's not your kids losing am I right 👍
Has integration made things better????

@@RobertJuzstone not even the same
I'm watching this video after watching adults argue and get arrested about NOT teaching about this. Smh🙄
Critical Race Theory is about far more than talking about bussing and the integration of schools. Talking about honest historical fact is one thing. Idealogical indoctrination of children is quite another.
@@a1abama Thank God for Critical Race Theory.
"Talking about honest historical fact is one thing. Idealogical indoctrination of children is quite another." So, I take it that you are against organized religion, then.
@@AAAA-gj7tn , if a particular organized religion is teaching something to children that runs contrary to the wishes of the parents, I would hope those parents find another religion, just as I would encourage parents to yank their children from a school that is teaching the heresy of CRT.
@@a1abama Well, parents have always had the right to yank their kids out of a school if they wanted to. The anti-racist parents are probably okay with CRT. From what I have been hearing, the racist parents are pulling their children out and finding schools with more racist curricula.
@@AAAA-gj7tn Nothing wrong with parents refusing to let their children be indoctrinated by subversive propaganda. CRT is an open door to indoctrinating white children with undeserved white guilt.
So unfair to all the kids, regardless of color.
Exactly, child abuse.
This was the beginning of the end.
The historical aspect of this Interview makes me feel that I'm lucky to watch it live, I wasn't even born yet.
Is there anyone watching this today can say yes this was was me talking? I would love to speak to this person.
That actually is me in the video at I’m the kid with the striped shirt at 1:11 and the line in his hair this was Pinkston highschool 1971 I was a freshman when this happened and as you can see I was a little nervous to be on camera 😂 but I knew what was happening with the civil rights movement and was old enough to remember when mlk died it was just a very exciting day to be able to actually live like the rest of society and not have everything controlled by our skin color
Why would people who say they got it bad insist on living,breathing,working beside going to school with breeding with etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc.etc the very ones they say are oppressing them? Doesn't add up does it?? Believe whatever you want but people were segregated for a reason.😄🤣😂😎
I just found it desegregation didn’t happen in Dallas til 71😮😮😮😮
I'm greatful I could go to a school that I didn't have people too worried about race... the progress, although slim, is nice progress
Not all progress is good.
@@sabrinashelton1997 all progress is good. And I can tell you, without hesitation, that your mom should’ve been more progressive in her practice with contraceptives. The only good racist is a dead racist. Can’t wait for your day. 😘
Nope, like I said, not all progress is good. Take a look around this country right now. It's a f-ing disaster, and deep inside your mind, you know that, but you have to double down on your beliefs because you have lied so long, you can't back off it now...sort of like Amber Heard.
@@sabrinashelton1997weirdo
This is child abuse.
That house on spring avenue and carter street is still there but boarded up.
I'd love it if I was able to have a black gal be my friend in school...I learned how to fight after being jumped so many times...I was a sweet friendly kid too...I'm still open for that, I forgave it... it never made me racist.. I never thought racism was ok at all. .I was loud about it and proactive..
My mother left alaska in first grade, and went to the uw she got custody when I was in second grade. I moved to seattle with her. My brother went to school across the street when we arrived. I was told I had to wait a week to start school. 8 kids were on a city bus, we were told to hold hands, School had started weeks ago, we were told we would have to catch up. Nobody told me I had multiple classes. A black kid asked to borrow my pencil, then told me there was no pencil, asked if I had any money. I didn't have a schedule was asking where I needed to go. Didn't have pencil constantly late for class, spent most of the day in the principal's office. The principle was about 7 feet tall with a 6 inch fro. He was also my gym teacher. He taught me how to dribble a basketball, but later beat the shit out of me and another kid for being shoved off a bench. By the end of the week there were only 2 kids on the bus. Every day I told my mom what it was like, and asked why I can't go to school here, she said it was the law. I told my dad he got on a jet and came and rescued me. My brother decided to go back to alaska too. I have never really trusted my mom after that.
Sounds like you need a therapist.
What the hell are you talking about
Believe it not that Pinkston high school today is 75% Hispanic and 25% black
Only if they knew....🤦🤦🤦...
New what
Stupidest idea ever.
Neo nazis are the enemy of America
behaviors are a lot different now days than then
The West Dallas Kids also got bused to W.T. White back then
They walked up in there smooth as fuck 4:07
I love that my city was pro desegregation.
Wow I was only like 3 years old when this was going on
I really enjoyed this series of videos. I think the forced bussing was wrong, simply because it was impractical. But the intent was good I think.
My mom graduated in 1971
“Righteous.”
As black ppl we Accept everyone, look how unproblematic the students were
My Dad was bussed to a Black school in Dallas as a middle school student and some of them attacked him from behind in the school hallway and he had a concussion and broken back. His Dad left a good job and they moved into a rural area so they could get away from it.
@@MsMollah AWE SHUT UP, yall always want to victimize yourselves after being the descendants of the devil
The whole reason why bussing started in the first place is because white ppl ostracized blacks. They caused this.
@@MsMollah In the video, you can hear one of the black kids say his friends are troublemakers. Each race has its bad apples. So yes, what your father experienced was real, and I'm sorry you had to hear about it.
@Name-jy3vh But you know damn well it was more whyte people who were angry than black people stop it!! Black people are the most accepting race and that’s our damn down fall!!
Black people were more respectful back then!
They weren’t so entitled unlike today in 2024.
