I Would Have Voted For Strom in '48

Why doesn't he just build a casino?

[Libertarianize the GOP]

Ideas such as built America into what it is today are more important than a few genes; segregation is not a concept that has any future in an ever-integrating World.

[Reactionary]

Why doesn't he build a casino? It may be because he thinks other things are more important, namely the preservation of his way of life, his people.

I don't begrudge his desire for segregation. And I don't begrudge blacks' desire for it, either. It's hypocritical, however, to demand that whites abide by the universalist rule of human culture while demanding that ethnic identity be preserved among minority cultures.

That is the great double standard at work today. There are one set of universalist principles for whites and another set of particularist principles for everyone else.

Those who formed the American colonies, and later created the American government, were White Anglo-Saxon Protestants.

True. And one of them was Benjamin Franklin, who was sufficiently interested in the Iroquois Confederation to write a scholarly paper on the subject. I often suspect that more than one modification proposed by Franklin to the Hamilton-Madison document at the 1787 Constitutional Convention had its roots in his study of the Iroquois.

Are you Prof. Yeagley?

[Howlin]

LOL!

[Grut]

It appears from David Yeagley's website that he is Bad Eagle, so this may be a slightly dishonest vanity. As far as the post's contents go, it's about as sensible as a Bantu pining for apartheit (which means 'separate development', incidentally).

The BIG question is: what did and how did the Creator make this world for us to live, did he not separate the races to start with and IF so there was and is a VERY good reason for that. We integrate to our own hurt, and we will rue the day that we went down this 'modern' road of integration. The author has a good point that they had to make a LAW to make it happen, we as a people did not want it by instinct.

[reformed_democrat]

Great find.

I need to absorb this before I attempt a reply.

[onedoug]

I'm bigoted towards those without decency and values.

[dighton]

Applying David Yeagley's own logic, so far as I can follow it, why should he have been allowed to vote in the '48 election?

[Phyto Chems]

Thanks for the post. I think that all the races have very strong traits that they bring to the table for the betterment of society and when we de lute them by integrating we hurt our own society, we need to respect each other's race and strong points they offer us as a whole.

I have no problem with segregation..of the voluntary type..its one thing to dispossess a people an its another to go to a land of little if any population and set up a community of those who share the same values..beliefs..etc..

I have no problem with the sending out of missionarys to proselytize or evangalize...but allowing every type of every person to move into your community and give them not equal rights but rights that superceed those of your own people is cultural suicide..

Of course a saprocytic race living off of a particular culture doesnt want their cash cows to run off and build a society that insulates them from such paracitism...and as such would indeed be very opposed to "segregation" and label it a vile thing..and call lt "sin"....when the real sin imo is the anihlation of the host organism...if only from a pragmatic view

[IronJack]

Well said! I've long maintained that segregation is the ultimate expression of free association, and a vital component of individual liberty. Of course, when I speak of "segregation," I mean barriers WILLINGLY erected, not forced on one by the State.

Do you believe that the White Man should never have come to the Americas? The laws to that point in the South prevented integration and that is what Srom wanted to prerserve.

[IronJack]

segregation is not a concept that has any future in an ever-integrating World.

Your argument is circular. Because the world is "ever-integrating," segregation has no role. What strength do we derive from the integration? Has it evolved to our advantage? I can cite numerous cases of its deleterious side effects, but am quite at a loss to find corresponding benefits. That it's happening doesn't mean it SHOULD happen.

That is the great double standard at work today. There are one set of universalist principles for whites and another set of particularist principles for everyone else.

The so-called 'white culture' IS the universal culture. It has the best many cultures had to offer: Greek, Judaic, Arab, Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Anglo-Saxon, French, German, Russian and whatever was worth taking from other minor ones. The fact that nothing or not enough of whatever some inferior cultures might have produced it usually because their contribution was just that - inferior.

The multicultural/diversity drive is that of forcing the civilized world to accept the products of inferior cultures as if they were as valuable as the those who found themselves a place within the 'universal' one. The only way 'barbarians' can participate is by first asimilating. There is also the option of them (the barbarians) trying to destroy that which is superior so that only the inferior products are left (see the Talibans bombarding the Buddha statues).

[A Vast RightWing Conspirator]

It is an intersting view and it merits debate. Did you write this yourself?

[fporretto]

I think Dr. Yeagley would have a stronger case if, instead of declaring himself "for segregation," he were to take a stand "against mongrelization." But even that is fraught with peril.

Political segregation -- segregation by force of law -- is intrinsically wrong. The last thing America needs is anyone telling us where we may live, or with whom we may marry. On the other hand, I have no bone to pick with a man of any race who wants to live among his own, provided he concedes all others the same privilege, not to be undone by force of law. It is just as wrong to force people together as it is to force them apart.

Immigration? A more complex subject. I'll get back to it after the New Year.
