Stumbled across this quote from Dr Sowell. Sadly it’s pretty relevant.

I fear that as well. Also he makes the point that it’s easier to discriminate when you don’t have to pay a cost. So it’s easy for local govt to impose Jim Crow laws. So if a white owner of a hamburger place doesn’t care about race just money he is impacted but the best example would be the Plessy vs Ferguson case. The train wanted integrated trains because they would have to pay for making more cars to accommodate a segregated train.
Which is why the civil rights bill was the wrong response aside from neutering freedom of association. The appropriate bill is that government shall not write laws that directly discriminate against its citizens based on inherent physical traits.
Yea I’ve come to realize that forcing people together who don’t want to associate is wrong. While I personally will get to know anyone and wish that the world held hands and sang about friendship, that is unrealistic. I’m all for voluntary segregation and voluntary integration
Which frankly is how communities should operate, they can decide who they want to associate with, as long as the government isn’t forcing the laws hand to discriminate against inherent traits.
Agreed
