Just because the sitting president is black doesn't mean we've achieved
equality everywhere in the country.
There are still parts of the country where the divide in education is
very strongly pronounced along racial lines because of differences in
schools where the predominant race of students is black vs. schools where
the predominant race of the students is white.
To suggest that having a black president makes everything equal now
everywhere is just a bit of a straw man.
