It has probably never occurred to you, but freedom or liberty means economic and social interactions occur on a mutually agreed voluntary basis between participating parties. Violation of that principle is a criminal act against freedom and a free society. Forced integration at the implicit point of a gun is a crime against the freedom of people in this nation.

I practice a type of segregation in my own life, and will continue to do so. That is, there are people who I don't want around me because their deficiencies or characteristics are repunant to me and an imposition upon me that I don't want. It is an equal opportunity action that crosses racial lines.

I have no idea what racial or ethnic group to which you belong. But, I can tell you you are a member of the inherently lower classes with whom I want no association, an who I want to have no control over my life. You will always be on the outside looking an among people of any quality or stature. You will always be justifiably rejected by those who are other than your kind. Your only hope of achieving membership in anything is to force yourself upon other people through violation of their rights. It may not be to your liking that people in a free society have a right to reject or separate themselves from other people on a reasonable, or sometimes unreasoned basis. But it is not a right that you granted to anybody. Neither is it a right you have permission to take from other people with you and your friend's "bull whips" as you put it.

Basically, you are aggressively evil and have no respect for the principles of a free society.

Unless the Government says "verboten", then you're outta luck.

We're not talking about the choice not to interact.
We're talking about the situation where a particular group is forcibly kept down.
Not being allowed access to education (that is available to everyone else) or being intimidated from voting has nothing to do with the right to keep your own company.
From your post history on this thread, I can tell that you are unable to see this.

Violation of that principle is a criminal act against freedom and a free society. Forced integration at the implicit point of a gun is a crime against the freedom of people in this nation.

Forcing public/state schools to accept all citizens is not a violation of your right to be a racist. And, it is not a criminal act.
Also, as I said before, if one group did not have a similar chance at the American Dream, then it was not really a free society, was it? (not a rhetorical question).

I practice a type of segregation in my own life, and will continue to do so.

I can tell.

Yes, you're right I do belong to a different class than you.
I don't support segregation.

other people through violation of their rights.

Discrimination is not a right.

people in a free society have a right to reject or separate themselves from other people on a reasonable, or sometimes unreasoned basis.

Sure they have that right, but they don't have the right to co-opt state laws to practice that right.

Basically, you are aggressively evil and have no respect for the principles of a free society.

You argue in favor of state-approved segregation and I'm evil?
Have you been to see your psychiatrist lately?
