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.
