35. If you are
Edited on Mon May-31-10 12:29 PM by billh58
at all familiar with the Civil Rights movement, and its gains, you would know that the "separate but equal" form of apartheid that you defend was rejected by an overwhelming majority of Americans. And contrary to your attempt to justify racism, yes white-separatism is indeed based on an inbred belief that the white race is the supreme race.

Your statement that separatists' "preference is to live among and associate only with White people, which is a perfectly legal aspiration provided no effort is made to actively deprive or disenfranchise others," is asinine. An "all-white" anything inherently deprives and disenfranchises ALL non-whites, and your reasoning is the quintessential antebellum Southern, rednecked justification for racism.

All-white neighborhoods came into being because of discriminatory real estate practices, and many all-white schools were the result of racial school districting based on those practices. You and Rand Paul would seem to agree on the re-segregation of America. Fortunately for the rest of us, it ain't gonna happen...
