Segregation making a comeback.


I'm not surprised, and I don't deny that it's real.

But what's the plan Stan?

... something about abrogating human nature, us v them, and the comfort of being surrounded by people just like you when the melting pot turns into the polity of group identity...


I feel a :kbate: moment coming on...

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Us us us and them them them


Calling on Byron...

And after all we're only ordinary men
...
God only knows it's not what we would choose to do...

Yeah, but I've already written about the nature of self-segregation multiple times. Of course I was shouted down by the "A"-men chorus of diversity for the sake of diversity

All colors, all religions, all sexes united by one polity under all.

All colors, all religions, all sexes united by one polity under all.

And therein lies the problem, any solution based on polity is doomed to failure.

The problem is that it is easier to join a society approved group than work on yourself and become a true individual.

Good point Sufi.

Negroes spent the last 50 years confirming what us racist shitstains always knew was true...theyre livestock.

It also makes things easier for manipulating politicians and marketers.

The question is, will you live long enough to your lifelong dream (a return to to the halycon days of "separate but equal") realized?

I doubt you will.

When I'm President I'm gonna buy every Negro a rocking chair and let them rut with Debbie Schultz and Nancy Pelosi.

Apparently the real problem is:

Housing discrimination - stopping or discouraging minorities from moving to majority-white areas - also plays a role in school segregation and "that's been a harder nut to crack," said Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, which argued the Brown case in front of the Supreme Court.

Apparently the real problem is:

That can be more of an economic than a social issue.

Maybe we can reverse those decades of white flight from the lawlessness of the inner city. Obama might outlaw freedom of association, and order the army to force those white folks back into the city at bayonet point, so that we can address the segmented racial tribalism so prevalent there now. We need more rainbows and unicorns.

Not all that long ago Holder was saying much the same, albeit with bigger words and considerably less sarcasm. All of which made me wonder when he was going to change the sign outside the building from Dept. of Justice to Dept. of Social Justice.

That can be more of an economic than a social issue.

Exactly. A good part of it IS socio-economic issues. But I hope you notice that those posting with snark and finger pointing have failed to provide, or even suggest, a solution.

While the housing issue is addressed it's not the primary issue of the article. You want to solve problem of school segregation or at least the largest problem presented which isn't necessarily the segregation of race but the quality of education available in certain areas.

Solution is simple. Don't fund schools locally. Fund them federally. Don't leave teachers as employees of the state make them federal employees and ship them out the same way you ship out military personnel. We won't do it because. . .well mostly because it would work but that would solve at least a large chunk of the problem if better teachers had a harder time avoiding tougher schools and crappy teachers weren't all bunched up in some place where nobody wants to be and nobody is particularly talented.

Am I supposed to be concerned that Stalin had some good ideas?
