Segregation Was Never a Bad Thing
Why Separation was natural and necessary; and why desegregation efforts failed.
Erm.. had to renew the VPN membership for this one..
Lets see how pro free speech Chadstack (facilitated by Amazon Web Services btw) really is.
In today’s new civic religion, there is no greater taboo than discussing race relations- with the possible exemption of White guilt. Black and brown people function as an elevated priest caste, imbued with supernatural properties like the ability to decree reality by merely screaming it into existence:
Yet, it wasn’t always this way. There was a time that people naturally understood the necessary realities of distance between different groups of people. Why that changed is beyond the scope of this article, which I’ll try to keep shorter (engagement numbers plummeting, click like now btw).
Why did the Americans of only a half-century ago try so hard to maintain segregation? Is it because they were just Marvel villains, or was there method to their bigotry?
1. Segregation is Natural
This is something we see time and time again, in nature, in laboratories, on the sports field, in any statistic separated by ethnicity. In today’s world, an objective, quantifiable difference between the races is an open secret. You can discuss the implications of it in scientific literature, especially when blacks are the beneficiaries, but you can never directly acknowledge it.
In case you didn’t know, what makes you “you” is 50% nurture (the environment you grow up in) and 50% nature (your genetic material). Everything about you is influenced by genetics. How tall you are, the shape of your face, if you’re introverted or not, how good you are at dancing, public speaking, talking to women, fighting, praying, all of it is influenced by your ancestry. This is also true of less desirable traits, like how quickly you will resort to violence, or steal, or whether jail time is an effective deterrent for you. In large groups of people, this also creates a “collective unconscious” and national character. We see this in Europe with stern Germans (and their particularly ferocious Bavarians and Saxons), jolly and dryly witty English, chaotic Irish, and zesty French.
For more examples, look no further than the US presidential elections, which effectively act as a racial census:
The Modern, Neoliberal interpretation of the Tabula Rasa (white slate) is completely false. The idea that your ethnicity determines nothing about you except your skin color is unscientific, and inarguably incorrect.
Note: The “European revolution” hypothesis is that whites self-selected for traits found in ideal citizens by quickly executing criminals to prevent them from reproducing their genes, for about 500 years straight. Perhaps that is why the famously violent Scandinavian countries are now some of the most peaceful.
People will always self-select to be around people similar to them. With few exceptions, people will associate with, marry, and reproduce with those who share traits with themselves- to include genetic traits. This is why even today there’s an extremely low amount of miscegenation (interracial reproduction). We see this behavior in animals too:
There’s a thousand idioms, poems, stories, movies, etc. that reinforce this idea: that boundaries are a good thing. My personal favorite is Robert Frost’s Mending Wall, a quaint little poem about 2 New England farmers celebrating the act of rebuilding the fence that divides their property. The message is that their separation is what allows their friendship to flourish: the strong fence prevents squabbling over lost animals, property lines, etc. As the last line goes:
He says again, ‘Good fences make good neighbors.’
2. Desegregation was and is unpopular
So now that we've established that Segregation is natural (in the literal sense that it always occurs in nature, not as a synonym for “good”), it makes more sense as to why it was tried in the US.
In fact, Ted Kennedy (yes, that Kennedy family) had this to say about the infamous 1965 Hart-Cellar immigration act:
“our cities will not be flooded with a million immigrants annually. ... Secondly, the ethnic mix of this country will not be upset.”
and again, the subcommittee on the bill found:
with respect to Japan, we estimate that there will be a total for the first 5 years of some 5,391 ... the people from that part of the world will never reach 1 percent of the population ... Our cultural pattern will never be changed as far as America is concerned
Of course, that’s exactly what happened. The Hart-Cellar act is explicitly and almost singularly the reason the white percentage of America is freefalling. I consider it the final nail in the coffin for American redemption.
De-segregation was so unpopular in the South (where the blacks actually lived) that it had to be enforced at gunpoint:
Much like the legalization of Gay Marriage in 2012, there was never a majority that supported desegregation. It took courts strong-arming the will of the people out of the way to cram desegregation down the throats of 1960s Americans. For the people that never shut up about democracy today, this is ironically one of the greatest violations of the democratic process in American history. It was (and basically still is) largely unpopular.
Perhaps that’s why…
3. Desegregation Failed:
This one is self-explanatory. It is a sociological rule that people will self-select to live amongst their own race when given the opportunity. The exception mainly comes in 2 varieties: Particularly brainwashed whites and rich non-whites. Obama, LeBron, and Oprah famously live in some of the whitest places on earth. Bluehairs and DEI coordinators will sometimes choose to live in affluent majority black areas. The idea that people will live amongst any group with no racial preferences is completely false. This has never occurred, once, ever, in human history. Sure, there are niche exceptions like we discussed above. As for the rest of us, we overwhelmingly keep to our own:
Notice how the worst areas in each city tend to either be majority black or no majority. The poorest of each race gets pushed into heterogenous shit holes.
There are somewhat valid reasons for this outside natural preference (like Le redlining) but there’s no evidence that socio-economic factors are a stronger indicator for where people live than their natural in-group preference.
Of course, that leads to apocalyptic amounts of crying about “magic dirt”:
Where nonwhites believe if they could only stand on the land that whites are standing on, then everything would be better and they’d be rich and stop going to jail for shooting their cousins at the block party.
Conclusion
We saw how segregation is natural, as an in-group preference common to all of humanity. We saw how desegregation was so unpopular it could only be enforced by lethal force, and how segregation still exists today.
The only libtard responses I’ve seen to this dose of reality is either a) magic dirt or b) saying cities are always diverse because there was a time when London had lots of Irish and Scots, as if there’s a 1:1 correlation between all “non-English” peoples.
assuming this one does well, I might do a followup discussing "separate but equal" and other things that give segregation a bad rap today
