Operation Summer of Chaos

The Washington Post.

From the USA Today article:

Quote:Hill also said the Supreme Court has held that a school with one race or virtually one race within a district “is not, in and of itself, the mark of a system that still practices segregation by law.”

While it's true the sort of segregation by law that existed in the past no longer does, it has been replaced by other types: self segregation in the inner cities (which I have seen first hand, having but recently left the worst neighborhood in  Kansas City - Troost and 31st, where I was told I couldn't even leave my house after sundown - I did, and never really ran into that much trouble), and another, perhaps more pernicious sort of segregation "by law", in which certain racial demographics are "more equal" than others, given more opportunity by law than the others... it's almost exactly like the Jim Crow laws of the past, but flipped in the other direction. Same thing, different targets.

And no one seems to see that, or if they do, they fear speaking out about it.

I'm all for equality for every soul here, but when the pendulum of equality swings too far in the opposite direction, you have precisely the same situation you had to begin with - "equality" becomes unequal once again. It's no longer equality, it's only a meaningless word. That goes not just along racial lines, but across all demographics. For example, I argued strongly in favor of "gay marriage" because if the law allows one sort of citizen to marry, it's only fair for other sorts to be allowed to marry as well, under law. You can't provide one type a government license and refuse it to the others... but they have taken that at this point and ran with it, trying to force other sorts of people to participate in the nuptials. It's not only equality under the law they seek now, it's superiority under the law they are after, attempting to trample the rights of others NOT to participate.

That's just as wrong as it was the other way. It's almost enough to make me rethink my stands on certain issues.

As the third article appears to point out, there is a difference between eliminating laws that require segregation and making new laws that force integration. One limits the equality of one side of the racial equation, the other limits the equality and liberty of ALL involved. Choice and the right to self-determination are eliminated, by legislative fiat, making the State supreme in all decisions of the individual.
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.

Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
