I realize he's not just referring to once incident, but he is basically diagnosing that blacks are the problem when it's a vast and complex issue that, arguably, no one fully understands. To say that you wouldn't send your kids to a school with over 3% blacks when in all likelihood a school like that is going to see 10 times as much white on black hate than the other way around, is asinine.

i went to a high school that was roughly 3% black. I never saw any hatred at all towards any of them. I saw the bullying of the mentally challenged and other people who were labeled as misfits but none towards any of the black kids.

The causes are irrelevant to a parent's decision where to send their kids to school.

Completely IRRELEVANT.

What matters is that your kids are safe, and they are not safe going to schools where they are in a minority. I also would not send them to a school that was 100% white but had a long history of drug dealing, violence, and poor academic achievement.

Was the 3% minority black population of the school that you attended safe?

You allude above that you never saw any hatred at all, but state later that kids are not safe when they go to a school where they are in the minority.

Seems to me that it should go both ways, does it not?
