Parental involvement is the key to all of this. If ALL parents in ALL school would be involved in their childrens’ education, and be good examples for their children (in particular for what is acceptable behavior), we wouldn’t be having discussions about successful schools and failing schools. I don’t even begin to think I have a plan to get parents involved, but that is where is all needs to start…

Its not right that many African Americans have poor schools. But by putting more whites in the schools into poor schools isn’t just for the white children.

Now everything is turned umop apisdn.

Of course, I never believed in that crap and was always the one to wanted to integrate and hang out with everyone, not just black people. I remember other black people telling me that I would get hanged if I was caught messing with white women. We had a lot of backward thinking blacks and whites in my hometown. When I turned 18, I was so happy to leave, I left 3 days after graduation

I laugh too at the NBA question because white players dominate the sport just like black players and Steve Nash won the MVP two years in the row and he is white….

And with churches, shouldn’t churches be integrated anyway? I never in my life understood the whole concept of having “black” churches and “white” churches, since we are all praying & worshiping the same GOD…It was very common in my small rural hometown in Texas, but I am glad that churches in Houston are a lot more integrated.

And I wonder, if the people that were suing were black, would the same people who are sympathizers, be on their side? Would George Will have wrote his article?

If the government is allowed to enforce individual desegregation, than why should it stop at schools? Why not force people to move from certain neighborhoods because there are already too many people of their race in that neighborhood?

Or how about sports? Will they now force the NBA to give whites “fair play time” on the teams?

Or in churches, will white churches and black churches be forced to congregate together?

Once again we see “diversity” trotted out as a reason that something silly or even destructive must be done.

Diversity based arguments are simply an application of Gramscian Marxism. They’re an attempt to create division within society as part of a larger effort to subvert majority values. The con is really rather obvious once you understand the purpose.

Also what exactly is supposed to be meant by “diversity” anyway? Racial diversity is literally skin deep. A black kid is just as much of an american as a white one. You might as well exert effort making sure that there are enough left-handed kids in every school. At the end of the day a kid’s family and the values that he or she is taught at home matter far more than the color of his or her skin. The fact that race is used as the basis for “diversity” demonstrates the divisive purpose of those behind these policies.

Those who call for diverity are actually working to encourage americans to self segregate based on racial and ethnic lines, as opposed to traditional marxists who enourage segregation based on economic lines. Economic circumstances change, but one’s race/ethnicity never does, making it a far more effective basis for creating a subversive ideology. A house so divided cannot stand, which is the idea. Destroy the culture and values of the majority by destroying that majority and you’ve set the stage for new values and culture to be introduced. Care to guess what values and culture our socialist overlords would seek to introduce?

I’m nowhere near old enough to remember the beginning of the civil rights movement. From what I’ve read however the push back in those days was for equal rights. Blacks rightly demanded to be treated as full and equal citizens and afforded the same rights and protections under the law as whites were.

If only that were the purpose today. The modern “civil rights” movement was created by the overwhelming success of the original movement. The moral arguments of the original movement found purchase in the psyche of the nation and led to profound changes on par with the establishment of women as full and equal citizens two generations prior. Having won there was little more that could be done through legislative efforts, and so many in the movement moved on. Those who could make the most of their hard won rights did so, and many achieved success. Their success paved the way for others who came after them. Those who didn’t have what it took to succeed make up the modern “civil rights” movement. These people see their own failures as the efforts of “the man” or “whitey” to keep them down. Being a white man I must say that I have better things to do with my time than conspire with other white people to disenfranchise still other people on the basis of their skin color. Even if I didn’t like those other people, undermining them or otherwise trying to keep them down just wouldn’t be a priority for me. I’m far too busy working to improve my own life to spend time trying to make someone else’s life worse.

The modern civil rights movement is quite simply made up of racists who try to game the system in order to secure perferential treatment and to punish white people. There isn’t a whole lot of difference between George Wallace and Al Sharpton. Anytime I hear someone described as a “civil rights leader,” I know that he or she is going to start whining about some supposed injustice that has supposedly befallen the black community. There are injustices in the world to be sure, but 9 times out of 10 these leaders are either complaining about an issue that is the making of black american’s themselves, or they’re complaining because someone isn’t treating them special enough.

All by themselves these guys would be annoying, but not really dangerous. Unfortunately they have allies in the form of white liberals who feel oh so guilty about the crimes of their distant relatives in times past. Their thinking goes a little like this: Did your 5th cousin 3 times removed (maybe) own a slave in Maryland in 1809? FOR SHAME! The stain of guilt is upon youf bloodline and the only way it can ever be purged is if you prostrate yourself before black america as a whole and beg forgiveness by bestowing blacks with preferential treatment. The truth of course is that the sins and virtues of our forbearers are theirs alone. We inherit neither. We are responsible for our own actions and choices, not those of people who lived and died generations ago.

That isn’t to say that wanting to improve lot of others is a bad thing. To seek an end to racial discrimination is and bigotry is a laudable endeavor. But what must be understood is that discrimination and bigotry are not exclusive to any race or ethnicity. No one has a monopoly on hate. As such it cannot be eliminated by treating some people one way and other people another way. This only exacerbates the problem. The only course of action that has any chance of ending hatred and bigotry is to treat everyone the same regardless of race or ethnicity. If everyone has the same rights, the same responsibilities, and is held to the same standard, then bigotry and discrimination will not persist because both are the fruits of resentment.

The legislators who created the civil rights act of 1964 understood this. If only the law that they created were implented as intended the world would be a much happier place.

Do you mean to tell me that your daughter engaged in “black flight”? Oh my…how is one to interpret that?
