Talk:Desegregation in the United States
Excessive use of wikipedia links, as when "busing" is linked to an article on transportation vehicles, is maybe not improving the information value of the article. It must be assumed that people reading English texts understand what a bus is, and it has absolutely no relevance whether segregation is fought by trolley busses, mini busses, trains or any other means of transportation.

- If the term busing is also used in the case of use of trains, please add that to the article. The bus is relevant, the concept is even named after it. If you do not want to read about buses, do not click on the link. I do not find your links to years useful, but I would never undo this kind of effort somebody made, because apparently somebody finds it useful and it does not harm - Patrick 13:56 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
I'll re-read this article again, but I'm pretty sure there is no mention that many Southern jurisdictions did not integrate their schools until well into the 1960s. For example, Jacksonville, Florida did not integrate until 1967. TheCustomOfLife 02:27, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
A few comments:
- This article could use a lot of work
- I've started a separate article at Racial integration specifically focusing on how integration is not exactly the same thing as desegragation. It's a different focus, so I'd like to work on it in a separate place for a while, but eventually we might want to, well, integrate them.
- We seem not to have an article anywhere on the desegragation of the U.S. military. We could really use one.

Redirect instead of an article
Desegregation (Redirected from Racial equality)
I can't grasp why the redirect is there. The two issues are completely different! Deseg is a more or less specific US topic, while the "Racial equality" article should be its own, summarizing scientific research into the equality and common one-raceness of diverse colors of mankind and the issue of how the different medical problems or diverse physique of races are insignificant differences. There should be a treatise of controversial research which claims to show negro only have 95 IQ on average while whites have 105. There should be some paragraph on denial of racial egality (US south, hitler, imperial japs, ultra-zionism, etc.) There should be a paragraph on diverse treaties that proclaim racial egality, etc.
All in all, destroy the redirect and create a decent article for "Racial equality". Only a disambiguation line should stay to point to the america-specific desegregation topic, because en.wikipedia.org is NOT equal to us.wikipedia.org!
