This racist values socialist government control, over freedom and opportunity.
This kind of thinking insults blacks.
The howls from the elite are getting louder and the headlines are getting ever more off the wall crazy.
FR thread on the NYT's piece she's using as her jumping off point.
And about integration and the Left and the Right and the Black and the White -- and the Hispanic and the Asian, I suggest this article: San Francisco gives parents a say in where their children go to school — and that is leading to less diversity
The Nazis never went away. We just call them large government collectivists now.
Seriously, why do we post Salon articles?
She admits right up front that the government has become a make-work project.
Democrats - the party of slavery
Democrats - the party of the KKK
Democrats - the party of Jim Crow laws
Democrats - the party of filibustering civil right legislation for decades
Democrats - the party of aborting 40% of all black babies
Democrats - the party of locking black children into failing schools
So who is responsible?
White republican/conservatives...
ah, OK, let’s boil this down -
without a big imposing centralized government,
we’d all be diskiminatin’ against blacks.
I don’t follow the “logic”, but that’s liberal “thinking” for you.
I read the headline and the source and stopped. Salon posted an article accusing conservatives of being racists. What a surprise.
In other news, the sun comes up in the morning.
It has ALWAYS been the Democrats who were the segregationists. KKK, separate but equal schools in the south, black and white drinking fountains, waiting rooms and “sit in the back of the bus please” were all popular when the Democrats controlled the southern states. It was those nasty white Republicans that changed all that. Winston Smith is a master at his job.
Diversity is a self-destructive concept. The more we force people together, the more they borrow from one another’s culture, until it eventually becomes one giant homogeneous mish-mash with no remaining individual identities.
Case in point: post-WWII Japan.
Blacks are far more segregationist than whites. The reverse used to be true, but not any more......
IOW
The KKK never went away, we just call them republicans now.
I saw Salon and stopped reading.
No matter what you do, you're still a racist.
Also...
When blacks move in, it's Diversity. I.E. Good!
When whites move in, it's gentrification. I.E. Bad!
There's a reason why white people don't want to live in black areas and it has nothing to do with white racism and everything to do with black racism and violence.

“The continuing decline of public sector jobs at local, state, and federal levels is having an abysmal economic impact on African Americans, for whom steady, stable government employment opportunities have provided a sure path into the middle class.”
Awwwwwww. So we need more public drones or else it’s racism?
Do these people not realize how condescending this sounds to blacks?
There's nothing like starting a racist rant with a bald-faced lie, is there?
Sounds to me like Ms. Cooper believes blacks need whites to succeed and that the only good jobs they can get are in the government where AA rules.
Same old tripe. I wonder how much she paid for her degrees?
There are a dozen issues worthy of serious consideration floating around in the piece, but the entire thing is written as a flight to abstract theory (with a predetermined, politicized conclusion) and away from concrete analysis and serious debate.
Yeah Right. I rmember when poor Ron Artest traded in that white bread name for a true ethnic name. I wonder when this gal will do the same. Brittney Cooper? Only if she is a petite blonde from the tony suburbs.
La'Queefa "Stardust" Obongo.
Based on wiritings like hers - this is who she should call herself.
Geeez, talk about someone that didn’t get the memo. Nobody cares about black folks anymore. That’s small potatoes. Now it’s EVERYONE IN THE WORLD gets to move here and get on welfare or you’re a racist!
Man, this is one slow Commie puke.
