In the case of Brown v Board, it is a clear answer to why we should start integrating nonsegregated schools. One of the apparent reasons why we should stop segregation in schools is the religious aspect. Yes, our very own religion, if you look back at the bible, is evident on why we should no longer do this awful act that we have been doing for so long.
Proverbs 14:31 states, "The one who oppresses the poor insults their maker." With that being said, not treating equality or insult or discriminating against people that god himself has created is not allowed. In that specific passage, they were talking about people with low incomes, not race, yes, but the same still applies to race. God made everyone, the men from Europe, Asia, and Africa. It does matter. God made them all, and to look at them less like the way we have been doing is the same as saying hey God, you have made a mistake, and I'm going to fix that by just putting all blacks in a place separate from us so we won't ever have to see your mistake. Do you honestly believe that God has made a mistake? Do you have the right to fix it if he did? If so, why do you? Are you a higher power than God? If you answer yes to all these questions, then sure, go ahead and continue what you are doing, but if you feel that you are an honest Christian and know that God does not make mistakes and you are not more powerful and knowing than he is. You should stop and change your actions immediately because you are insulting him.
It is also said in Christianity that unity is a spiritual relationship. With that being said, blacks and whites both believe in Christianity. This forms a union bigger than what someone's race is. It's bigger than all of us. Yet many of you still try to justify your actions, which are selfish and only thinking about your benefit and trying to perceive the bible as what fits you best. Christianity was not meant to divide people but was meant to bring us all together as one, and segregation in schools is just one way we are constantly going against that. Do you honestly believe we should only be grouped as stronger people based on our appearance? Is that what happens in our religion? We group based on our looks and pretend as if everyone else just isn't there.
In conclusion, the continuation of our segregated schools and much more is an insult to the religion we like to value so much. We want to hold our religion to such a high standard and love to force it onto many others, but how are you going to have others believe indeed and join in our religion after telling them, "Hey, if you look like this, we can't treat you the same?". The answer is you can't, and you won't. However, it is not too late to change. We can stop this unnecessary hatred and start by unifying our schools together.
