We had about half and half, but the first couple of big riots, in the first two weeks of school that year, the local affiliate of the black panthers sent thugs on campus, 25 year old gangsters with knives and clubs beat the stuffings out of us kids. A buddy of mine has a plate in his head still today from that first riot.
We did nothing but fight, academics all but ceased, any and all troubles were deemed to be the fault of non-blacks and they knew they were protected so they'd provoke you, stab you with those damn pick or rake combs they used to carry for their fros. Then when you defended yourself you were expelled, I sometimes couldn't make a full day a week...
White privilege looks like that.

It was a lot worse than my simple description.
We went to school because we wanted an education, plus back in those days we had actual 'Truant Officers' who would check to see if students were legit missing class or just ditching it. Your parents could be charged and made to pay fines if you skipped school, the Feds paid the schools by number of butts in those chairs each day.
Prior to busing I was a straight 'A' student, I wanted my grades. After busing academics dropped, so it was easy to maintain that 'A' even without going to class much, just try to be there on test days.
I quit school several times tho, tired of the constant fightinmg, and coaches, teachers and family would coerce me to return. I finally quit for good after the 11th grade, took a GED when I was 17 and enrolled at a junior college. While my senior class was finishing up 12th grade I got my first two semesters of college done, then enlisted in the Air Force. Those junior college courses allowed me to test out very well in electrical and the Air Force told me I could have any job I wanted, so I picked a very long school and got very good training working on nukes.
When life gibs you lemons make lemonade....
Our schools have declined ever since, devolving into tranny day cares today.

IT WAS 'authority' who was causing it all, same as today.
YEAH, we raised hell daily, it was maddening and quite disturbing, but no dice.
Oh yeah, we raised hell but no one listened. School boards simply said it was Federal Law and that's the way it was. My Mother was nearly arrested because she named them all as fools and liars, cops escorted us out of that first meeting while apologizing to my Mother who was spitting flames.
So when the school would call and say CovfefeNegro was expelled for fighting today she might say 'good' and hangup.
The 'authorities' were the ones causing the Hatreds and grief, same as today. That stuff was my Wake-Up, by 1972 I knew my government was messed up. Looking around at Society then we saw rioting and terrorisms, from black panthers to symbionese liberation army and weathermen underground (Bill Ayers group) to foreign terrorists, college campuses were mostly a mess so you couldn't just go to college and escape anything that way. the Draft was waiting on us for Vietnam so I enlisted in the USAF. In the Service I learned about institutional corruptions, such as JFK and the Bay of Pigs, LBJ and his 'have (those people) voting democrat for 200 years', and Carter with his amnesty and allowing the rageheads in iran to attack our Embassy and get away with it.
Yeah we tried to fight it but the courts were not listening, no one was listening even back then, the Feds had agenda.
