Clubber Lang is right. You're a hypocrite. Most Liberals are. If Whites partitioned a white-only residence at a major University, you and your commie buddies would cry racism for weeks. When black people do it, it's a non-issue. You're a straight up hypocrite. Nothing more.
Wasn't "segregation" outlawed about 50 years ago??

Throughout my life, I'd never considered myself nor felt like a racist. But with all this racial BS going on, I'm beginning to become one. Hey... if blacks don't like their life/freebies in America, let's buy them a ticket back to Liberia.
If only we'd "picked our own cotton"....
Slavery, segregation, the KKK, Jim Crow, etc, all have deep roots in the democrat party. Take all the dark parts of America's past and the democrat party has a monopoly on them.
Blacks are now a protected species. Just ask Obama.
One of my favorite professors, ... and one of the smartest thinkers I met... wrote this back in 1996. He spoke to me about this in a private conversation 6 years earlier.
So its taking the country 25 years to start to catch up to him.

What to do about the American race problem? There is so much right and so much wrong on both sides of this conundrum. Perhaps there is no definitive solution to this, our longest running social and moral dilemma. Perhaps it is time to face such a possibility. As unthinkable as it is,that is the fundamental question raised in this book.
(this is part of a book... it was well formatted but the cut and past is not.)
Part I argues that racial integration has failed to work for millions of African Americans, and thatwell-intended integrationists have got to awaken from their half-century's self-induced hypnotictrance and recognize that they are holding on to a tarnished trophy. Part II maintains that totalracial separation, which had been tried in the past both at home and abroad and to which manymiddle-class African Americans as well as Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam, are looking for salvation, is mereracial romanticism and highly improbable. Finally, Part III advances the theory that cultural andeconomic integration within African American society--what I call "limited separation"--is theonly remaining strategy to try. I believe it, in conjunction with racial integration, can resolvemuch of the American race problem. If I am wrong, however, then we may have to accept theunhappy fact that the American race problem is without a solution. We would then have tochange our whole way of thinking about race relations in American society.
Some people will undoubtedly argue that some things are better left unexplored or unsaid, theunresolvability of the race problem being one of them. But for a scholar, unlike the politician,such evasions are unthinkable. The search for truth is what motivates the scholarly enterprise. Ileave it to the reader to judge whether the political approach is more socially wholesome than thescholarly one. But for me, the issue is well settled: looking under rocks beats leaving stonesunturned.
My limited support for racial separation may anger, offend, and, preferably, challenge my manyliberal friends. I only hope they will suspend judgment long enough to understand the reasoningbehind my views, to see the tissue--individual opportunity--that connects them. And I also hopethey will answer certain questions: should African American children, whom integrated schoolshave failed, be denied opportunities for the sake of a policy? Isn't shackling African Americans toracial integration at any cost simply another form of slavery? Why should policy be placed beforepeople?
If liberals are likely to loathe the idea of limited separation, conservatives may take issue with myunderlying belief that the problems facing African Americans are not simply internal (that is,behavioral or cultural) but also external (that is, structural). While human capital deficienciescannot be ignored, we cannot discount the importance of a level playing field. My position, then,is somewhere in the center on race relations, a place in which I am quite comfortable, eventhough caught in the crossfire.
Undoubtedly, there will be those on the right and the left who will misuse my words to scorepoints in the ongoing racial wars. I can only say that as a scholar, one who searches for objectivetruths, I cannot always choose my traveling companions. I can only hope to convince a bettercrowd to come along.
