Diversity Segregation

Dr. Mike Adams offers this pointed comparison between his cousin, arch-racist politician Theodore Gilmore Bilbo, and liberals who support segregated programs and facilities for ethnic minorities.

My cousin Bilbo would be proud of your third email to me this morning, which defended separate campus facilities for blacks including, but not limited to, African American centers. In that email, you explained that you really arenÂ’t a segregationist. That was before you said that black people just feel more comfortable when surrounded exclusively by blacks.

My cousin Bilbo felt more comfortable when surrounded by his kind, too. At least he was honest enough to call it segregation.

You and my cousin Bilbo have a lot in common. You both support segregation and you both have what you personally “feel” are good reasons for it. But I am against both you and Bilbo. I will fight segregation, despite the fact that your daughter is “black” and “upset” and that you think I have tongues growing out of the side of my face. I will fight segregation because I believe that it is wrong. And I will not capitulate to identity politics.

It is a strange day in America when segregationists are called “anti-racists” and anti-segregationists are called “racists.” It makes me very sad. But my cousin Bilbo would be proud.

As little as four decades ago, the end of segregation was seen as “progress” by liberals. Today, the resegregation of America is progress. I guess it is true – if you wait long enough, what’s old is new again.
