[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why the black population is very low in NoVA relative to MD or DC. Even if the covenants were unenforceable, the culture of the neighborhoods was still outwardly racist and hostile for decades afterwards. Desegregation of schools in NoVA did not de facto happen until the 1970s. And even then, those black kids in NoVA public schools had a very rough go of it.[/quote]

If you watch the old TV Show the White Knight it is a true story about a 99 percent white high school in Manhasset NY that is one of the best HS’s in country in a very rich area that has a small black area clearly in the town next door carved out to go to their schools. Write rich nerdy kids make for bad basketball and football.

Jim Brown the greatest athlete of the 1950s went to Manhasset High. So good he was drafted by Yankees he instead went to Syracuse for football and was one of greatest players ever.

Blacks were highly sought out for sports skills.

Ken Howard actually went to Manhasset HS and was only white basket ball player. He was star of show
