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.

" It is just as wrong to force people together as it is to force them apart."

Absolutely! This is an intelligent thread and I hope it isn't pulled as racist by the PC police. It bears discussion.

That reminds me of a decent zinger I threw at my uber-Liberal Property Professor. We were discussing the history of Racial Zoning in America, and she lamented the fact that as blacks were finally getting the opportunity to leave impoverished urban areas (thanks to FHA programs), that whites would often move away making those new areas segregated yet again. I asked her if she was saying that whites should no longer be allowed to move away from areas for racial reasons. She said "no, of course not" but couldn't explain how else to prevent de facto segregation if whites continued to do so.
