I grew up in NY, and went to elementary school In the 6os in a segregated school in the Bedford Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn. I’ve lived in three different states, and no onE has ever asked me what it’s like to “live with them so close.” Thankfully, the people I seem to associate with are color blind —both professionally & socially. My only experience with segregation is from politicians who rely on identity politics — I think because they have nothing else to offer.
