    Would Segregation have been wrong if it really was separate but equal?

    If people generally choose to live in different areas, is that bad? The issue, is force. There's generally "Black" areas, in many cities. There's Chinese and Indian places in Sydney, my home town. They choose that. The thing I'm not particualy fond of is using force to compel it, although I...

    Would Segregation have been wrong if it really was separate but equal?

    No, I want no special treatment. No extra rights, no extra money, no free whatever. I get to pay for things that a supposed to be bad, that happened before I was even born. But, there's a bunch of shithead fuckwits who insist on GUILT. I have to pay! Why? Because somebody, somewhere, blames my...

    Would Segregation have been wrong if it really was separate but equal?

    To be fair, we've had welfare specifically for aborigines for longer than I've been alive. Abstudy, which pays for almost anything an aborigine wants to study, there are tax payer funded competitions, "Best New Author" and the like, and their own govenment department.

    I thought there was an element of "People who are rich are rich for a reason" and a single windfall doesn't generally change who you are. If you're a stupid thug, more money doesn't make you anything else. If you're a brilliant kid, you have a much higher chance of leveraging that chance to do...

    Did I say that? No, I did not. Don't put words into my mouth, and I won't assume worse about you.

    If you don't want to pay attention to reality, that's up to you.

    Sydney, Australia, has had a Chinatown for over 120 years. I call Bullshit.

    Would Segregation have been wrong if it really was separate but equal?

    The mere fact there are black, asian, and latino neighbourhoods means that people segregate on their own. So, yes, if people want to seperate, that's fine. Force-mixing groups who don't want to for your ideology is scumbagery. It also doesn't work. There's a reason why there's "black" culture.
