1. The betacucks who give money to ethots never get to see vag anyway, so what's it to them if I have a meat & 2 veg?
2. Ethots doubtlessly use a portion of their income to support a boyfriend, so the betacucks are already supporting a dude. I'd just be cutting out the middlewoman (so to speak).

What was bad was when the government enforced mandatory segregation via Jim Crow laws. The civil rights laws of the 1960s went too far in the opposite direction by outlawing voluntary private discrimination along with mandatory government discrimination.

If black college students want to have segregated fraternities, sororities, dining halls, and graduation ceremonies, that's fine. It's no skin off my nose. It doesn't harm me in any way.

But white students must have exactly the same options. Otherwise it's bullshit.

I graduated with the 2nd highest GPA in the college of engineering (I wuz robbed, really) and had to struggle every semester for them to give me the merit based scholarship that was supposed to be automatically guaranteed instead of them handing it to someone crony who was on the brink of flunking out.

My brother (and some East African guy) got the highest college of engineering GPA in his graduating class and I don't think the poor guy ever actually succeeded in having the scholarship applied.

Then our youngest was almost screwed because they messed up his grad school funding. So I had to pay.

While I enjoyed my time there, I will never give a dime to that school or ever allow anyone under my care to go there. It goes without saying that the nephew did not apply.

179 163 I graduated with the 2nd highest GPA in the college of engineering (I wuz robbed, really) and had to struggle every semester for them to give me the merit based scholarship that was supposed to be automatically guaranteed instead of them handing it to someone crony who was on the brink of flunking out.

My brother (and some East African guy) got the highest college of engineering GPA in his graduating class and I don't think the poor guy ever actually succeeded in having the scholarship applied.

Then our youngest was almost screwed because they messed up his grad school funding. So I had to pay.

Posted by: rickl at May 17, 2019 08:41 PM (sdi6R)

The problem is that the desire to self segregate at all times is a symptom of bad things in society and does not point to a great future.

Learning about other people and cultures is good, as is learning to associate with people of other races or points of view. Sheltering oneself completely usually does not end well.

Of course, it is wise to stay away from fascist leftist types. Or hard core white supremacists in my case. But I actually wouldn't mind having a conversation with one as long as I was safe and the person did not get to mindlessly vitriolic.

Also, those blacks had been banned from places like Woodrow Wilson's Princeton which mainly restricted enrollment to Coddington van Voorhees III (that the Ivies were also banning Jews at the time, is a hint that these were a magnet for that year's finest upper class twits).

Law grads from Howard would routinely kick the ass of van Voorhees in any halfway-decent courtroom.

Good answer ... I was working on mine, which would have been similar.


I grew up in Las Vegas which -- ironically if not well-known -- was a town founded and politically dominated by Mormons (after the mob lost its influence). All my best friends growing up were Mormon kids (always coming up with schemes to get me to convert), and they were great kids. But they definitely self-segregated and I thought that insulation would harm them when they finally became adults and had to go out into the real world where they would encounter and have to work with many folks who didn't share their values and lifestyles.


I suppose that's why most of them have ended up in Utah now ...

Freaking Tesla's are ubiquitous here in the SF Bay Area, I swear 1 out of 10 cars is one. But not a lot of people can afford a $100k plus car to get the amazing CA kickbacks. Tesla would be dead without all their subsidies. And soon, they will be.


The cars are crap and owners all seem to be assholes. There's a blue one in my neighborhood - dude doesn't even slow down for stops. Are brakes and signals expensive options? On the freeway the other day, there was one going 50 in the center lane. Passing the dude, finally, it looked like the entire family, as well as the "driver" was watching the center panel - probably a TV show or movie.

Just let the free market decide.

I need to have something else to offer like better food or lower prices, or else I will go out of business.

I'm just saying that it should be a matter of choice and shouldn't be illegal. Let the market decide, not one-size-fits-all laws. And if a black restaurant owner across the street only wants to serve black customers, the same applies to him. He's not harming me, and I wish him well.

269 True Story: The kitchen out at the Youth Camp at Camp Dearborn had a large toaster. You would put slices of bread on these racks that went up by electric drive and they would drop into the tray as toast. The heat, though, was gas. This thing was old, probably from 1950, and you would light it by lighting a lathe of wood, sticking that into a hole on the side, and opening the gas valve.

Now, for fun you could do "Puff the Magic Dragon". I did that to Louise Axton, one of the English counselors. I plugged it in, got the chain running for the racks, said 'Watch closely," lit the lathe, *turned on the gas* and stuck the lathe into the hole in the side. The tongue of blue flame that came out, and her eyes opening wide as she jumped back was worth the names I was called.

The problem is that the desire to self segregate at all times is a symptom of bad things in society and does not point to a great future.

Learning about other people and cultures is good, as is learning to associate with people of other races or points of view. Sheltering oneself completely usually does not end well.

I'm totally the other way. If people want to self-segregate, there's nothing scary about it.

Diversity is not a strength; it actually erodes a society.

Stefan Molyneux has done some interesting vids on studies (I could dig them up, I suppose) that show in diverse societies there is far less trust among people - including within one's own group.

There's been an enormous push to shove us together and shuffle us like cards. I find that a whole lot of denial of differences has to happen in order to do that and we all wind up living in uncomfortable lies.

I don't entirely disagree, but refusing to be in the same physical space with people you are attending college with, based on something as superficial as skin color, is messed up.

I wonder if I might impose upon the collective wisdom of the Horde. Has anyone here worked for an IT consulting company before (or now)? I am looking for a new job, and there is a company that seems interested to bring me aboard, but I'm not sure if that would be something I'd like. So, any advice or insight is most appreciated

It's nice = it's a good thing.

For example, sure I am free to choose not to associate with you just because you are white, but it would be great if we were, say at a MoMe, and I had a conversation with you rather than thinking "icky white person". We don't have to be BFFs, but it really is a good thing to be willing to interact with others regardless of such a superficial thing as skin color.

Quite apart from injuries, there's the hothouse flower aspect that's just not healthy. Twelve year olds - or their parents - with grim determination to get a college scholarship if not to turn pro. Let kids be kids, FFS. It's not uncommon for such kids to blow off the game forever after that experience. It's like humping for tenure at age 12.

348 Here's a question for the Hordemind: would it be ethical to use Snapchat's gender swap filter to become an ethot? My reasoning is:
1. The betacucks who give money to ethots never get to see vag anyway, so what's it to them if I have a meat & 2 veg?
2. Ethots doubtlessly use a portion of their income to support a boyfriend, so the betacucks are already supporting a dude. I'd just be cutting out the middlewoman (so to speak).

358 I don't entirely disagree, but refusing to be in the same physical space
with people you are attending college with, based on something as
superficial as skin color, is messed up.



I don't think diversity = strength, but I believe life is enriched
by interacting with some other people who are different from you. It
does not work if it's forced, of course, but it is nice to be open to
others.


I went to Jax State in Alabama and had two dormmates from West Africa who were way kewl. Good ol' Emeka, I may have mentioned him to you here before. His roommate was real quiet, but Emeka was pretty outgoing.
And I know I've mentioned one of my military school buddies from Mobile who came here from Cuba. His mom was our Spanish teacher and they lived around the corner. She was smokin' hot, too.

Lots of people these days seem surprised that Alabama was so diverse back then. We never thought anything of it. But to your point, if I'm not welcome somewhere, I won't generally go there. But I certainly don't want the government telling me where I can and can't go and who I can or cannot be around. That's why the Constitutional right to freedom of association is so vital.

361 I have not tried to write up a coherent paragraph but if RoeVWade gets to tell states "you can't outlaw abortion earlier than X weeks" would the nation be ready for a case that says "also you can't kill that fetus past X weeks when it could survive outside the womb if delivered?"

I kind of think a lot of folks would go for that. They may think 'abortion is wrong but shouldn't be illegal up to 14 weeks' or whatever their cut off is, but I can't imagine many folks really think "oh yeah, its just fine to let that fetus get into the third trimester and then kill it" Even in the case of rape last trimester abortion is just wrong, and not good for the woman, why would any society give any kind of encouragement to a rape victim to go through all the physiological effects of pregnancy for X months and than kill the fetus -what is that, displaced revenge on the bastid that molested you?
