Thread: Is Racial Segregation really a human rights Violation?

In early March, 2003, investigators turned to Tony Frudakis, a molecular biologist who said he could determine the killer's race by analyzing his DNA. They were unsure about the science, so, before giving him the go-ahead, the task force sent Frudakis DNA swabs taken from 20 people whose race they knew and asked him to determine their races through blind testing. He nailed every single one.

"DNA study reveals racial differences"

So far, the differences in DNA variations among the race found by the investigators tend to be shorter in DNA from Africans than from elsewhere, which "is strong support for the out-of-Africa hypothesis" for the origins of all humans, said Ellen Clayton, director of the Genetics and Health Policy Center at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn.

"It suggests that populations that exist in Africa are more ancient, so there's been more opportunity for DNA recombination than relatively more recent populations, namely those everywhere else," Clayton said.

It depends what race you are.

It is not so much for the benefit of any of the people that are alive today, but rather for the benefit of future generations, that will get to be a born of a specific race and more pure heritage, and will not have to live as a minority amongst those that look different than them, and have different temperments.

People usually bond better with other people of their same race/ethnicity, both because they look more similar, and because they tend to have more similar personalities and values.

There are plenty of arguments that can be made against interracial reproduction also, but I will not get in to that in this thread, as I do not want to derail the topic.

well (*)(*)(*)(*) that (*)(*)(*)(*) i dont need my friends and decent peapole and some of my extended family taken away from me to satisfy your dam stats

I believe in freedom to not associate. Slavery is most certainly an extreme human rights violation but that's very different from segregation.

As long as people have the right to simply move away from the area where they're expected to segregate... I don't see a true human rights violation.

The problem is that certain group(s) of people try to move away, and not associate, but certain other groups of people keep following them for jobs. Whether it is "white flight", or anti-discrimination employment laws.

If all the different ethnic/racial groups had equal wealth (and an equal propensity to hold onto that wealth), I think there would be much less racial mixing, and people would naturally separate out into their respective ethnic groups, just like they do out in a prison yard.

This sort of segregation, which occurs naturally, is in no way a violation of a human right. It is only natural for members of a minority group to stick with one another, as they share something in common that nobody else can understand. Sure, some forms of segregation are perfectly fine, like all black schools or even small things like Korean churches. It's simple, harmless, and allows minorities to connect and learn about their culture.

Of course, segregation that hinders a minorities way of life completely violates their human rights. This sort of segregation acts like a punishment to minorities. I don't think I need to go into too much detail over this, as I think it is pretty much agreed upon that harmful racial segregation is a bad thing.

So yes, overall I guess there is good and bad segregation. It would all have to depend upon the context of the situation.

Sounds to me like you're saying that everyone but white people should have the right to segregate themselves. I'll bet even when white people are in the minority, you still won't think they have the right to segregate.

Eye, hair, and skin color differences are very different from ethnic/racial differences. Let us try to stay on topic please.
