Title: Is America Seeing a Resurgence of Segregation?
Topic: Resurgence of Segregation

Discussed by Demetrius Minor
with Project 21 (www.NationalCenter.org)

It is not a reinstitution of race-specific water fountains or separate-but-equal accommodations, but a self-segregation among black youth that could cripple upward mobility.

It is a variation on the fear of "acting white."

Demetrius Minor, with the National Center’s Project 21, believes there is a budding resurgence of segregation where blacks are purposefully disassociating and distancing themselves from whites.

As a young black man and a minister, how does Demetrius teach his students on ways to succeed in life? How should parents react when they hear their black child speak negatively about other races?
