    You would have to check with the mods, but I believe not.

    Ty for the very useful link. The still thinking left is still able to occasionally admit The Inconvenient Truth.

    “New York City, one of the most demographically diverse places on the planet, is also home to one of the most segregated school districts in America. That contrast has rattled New York’s self-image and given rise to major integration efforts over the past several years. Most have failed. And across America, desegregation has never been tried at scale, partly because of resistance from white liberals.”
    THE NEW YORK TIMES, How White Progressives Undermine School Integration, A robust body of research shows the benefits of integration. Why, then, is it so hard to achieve?, By Eliza Shapiro, August 21, 2020.

    Someone forgot the years of forced desgregation in southern states via bussing which meant kids were forced to travel miles from their homes and friends and enduré years of bullying.
    An example of loooking good on paper but didn't look at the inevitable results.

    Context is everything and you have a history of difficulty understanding that.
    "The value of time-honored tradition"? Does that explain the resistance to making things more fair for minorities and women? Or is it fear of the changes that will be demanded from those in the dominate society, like their vote will have less power, they will have to share space with people they deem inferior or giving equality will mean power will be given to "time-honored" inferior people? You are rationalizing.
    "Yes, people don't say what they feel."
    So you believe in integration of schools, but you believe schools should be segregated in a way that would result in segregation of the races? Do I have that right?

    It's clear you have never met a conservative. You have a cartoon stereotype of us.

    At last, you say what you feel. You believe in racial segregation. Definitely very old-school. How would this work in public schools? Could Jews attend with whites? What about Asians or is it just about Blacks? What if they are mixed race?

    I have met many. Explain the conservative resistance to equal rights. Putting it down to "time-honored tradition" makes it sound like conservatives are unthinking and uncaring.

    International Jewish conspiracy
    Belief in an international Jewish conspiracy or world Jewish conspiracy has been described as "the most widespread and durable conspiracy theory of the twentieth century"[1] and "one of the most widespread and long-running conspiracy theories".[2] The conspiracy theory's content is extremely flexible — a factor which helps explain its wide distribution and long duration — but typically centres around a belief in a malevolent, usually global Jewish circle conspired for world domination.[2] It was popularized in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century especially by the antisemitic forgery The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. Among the beliefs that posit an international Jewish conspiracy are Jewish Bolshevism, Cultural Marxism,[3] Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory, and Holocaust denial.

    We don't need christians who beat their wives or pray for a child instead of going to get medical treatment.

    We don't need that culture here.

    So you think all white people in the West are Trump fans? No Leftists anywhere in Europe, the UK, America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, etc. How interesting!

    Haha ... that's hilarious! I'm a flaming Lefty socialist, and even I know what utter BS this piece is.

    They can't even get the motivation right. It was never about 'subverting Western culture', it was always about consolidating it. The kinds of people who buy into the marxism trope (white middle & upper class Progressives) loathe other cultures. No, it isn't about adopting some exotic brown culture .. it's about ensuring that an underclass is established, and that Euro-oligarchs retain world dominance.

    The cohorts of academically selective schools in this country are about 90% from cultures which value education. So yes, it really does highlight the CULTURAL differences. Of course, racists will only see race in that picture.

    Yet they don't actually want a different culture. They want an amplification of their own culture, taken to it's most grotesque First World Problem limits.

    Genuinely progressive, IOW.

    The genuine progressive understands that sometimes the way forward is NOT changing something. Forward momentum is just as much about clearing an established path of newly added clutter, as it is about finding new paths.

    I find that the vast majority of Trumpers are strong followers of the "reverse racism" theories, though by far NOT all whites like Trump

    So ISTM that Mr. Bacon is troubled by minority opinion he feels is damaging what he thinks to be core western values.
    Except minority views are PART of western values.
    I think he has à problem with freedom.

    I don't know where east and west come into it. Whenever you discuss conservatives you must be clear to separate them from Trumpers nowadays.

    Trump is never part of my posts. I'm not American, and couldn't care less about Trump.

    Agreed. I'm not sure there are many people that would argue with you. Therefore, it isn't really a culture is it?

    OIC, sorry. You have to understand that Trump is the Great White Supremacy Hope in America. Everybody thought that Naziism was gone here until he rebooted it.
