The post is about a South Carolina judge, the son of a Confederate soldier, who wrote in a 1951 federal case, “segregation in education can never produce equality and it is an evil that must be eradicated .... Segregation is per se inequality.”
My comment:
Hmmm... Wonder what he'd say about segregation in education at Gann Academy. Apparently, not ALL segregation is per se inequality. Or maybe it is, but in some cases, that's okay.See? Doesn't have a snowball's chance in Hades of getting posted....
Yeah, I left a similar comment, brief and very, very polite, that was also suppressed. Kevin though, has already explained that, you see. Evidently segregation is just peachy, so long as the segregationists are white and Jewish and the segregation is being perpetrated at the Gann Academy in Boston.
ReplyDeletePS- Over at Andy Hall's blog, Hall argued that the NEH should be funded because the Raptor, despite its failures, is still being funded. You would think Baker would have rushed in screaming "Tu Quoque, Tu Quoque"!!. Shockingly, he did not.
I wonder if Levin would consider another Confederate Veteran and South Carolinian, one Sgt. Barry Benson comes to mind. A man who was a proud Confederate Veterans and a believer in civil liberties who helped defend one Leo Frank - a man and case I know Levin is familiar with - when the man was falsely accused of rape and murder.
ReplyDeleteLevin's thread on Judge Waring is getting funnier by the minute. Levin, a dedicated segregationist, was joined by another segregationist "Weird Al Mackey", in attacking "neo-Confederates", presumably becasue they are "segregationists". However, Levin's active segregationism is found in his exclusivley white blog, as well as his spirited defense of the whites only admitting policies at the Gann Academy in Boston. As for "Weird Al" Mackey, his own segregationist sentiments find full expression in his exclusively white blog, as well as his defense of the segregationist hiring policies and practicies of the Air Force Academy's Department of Aeronatuics (among other departments at the USAFA where the faculty is all white). Meanwhile, over at the all-white blog "Crossroads", Brooks Simpson has boldly challenged the Flaggers to Flag the Governor of Virginia. Righto there Brooksy, just as soon as soon you protest the ASU President's Office for permitting the Department of Computer and Electrical Engineering at ASU to exclude African-Amerians from its faculty.

Go ahead Brooksy, pick out the African-American faces. Don't be shy, shout 'em right out when you see 'em. The again, to be fair, maybe, like Mackey says, these institutions are segregated becasue of "insurance and legal reasons" lol....what a disgraceful bunch of pathetic flippin' frauds.
Levin is a big complainer about segregation, particularly in education, in the South (you don't see him complaining much about segregation in the north) and the resistance to desegregation in the South, during the civil rights era (you don't see him complaining much about the same resistance in the north).
ReplyDeleteThe Civil Rights Division, Educational Opportunities Section identifies the areas of discrimination prohibited in PUBLIC schools and colleges. Presumably, he thinks this is a good thing. http://www.justice.gov/crt/about/edu/types.php
So if it is good for PUBLIC schools, why is it not also good for PRIVATE schools? Why is it a GOOD thing for Gann Academy to discriminate on the basis of religion and race and/or color but a BAD thing for public schools to do?
Corey keeps sending me comments explaining that Gann is a Jewish school, and most Jews are white. I understand that. What he doesn't explain -- what nobody explains -- is why that makes the discrimination acceptable. Why is it good for Jewish folks to discriminate in favor of their own, but not good for anyone else to?
Frankly, the only reason Levin's hypocrisy (and that of all the floggers) interests me is their hatred of Southern heritage and their demonization of white Southerners. There are lots of people and groups with the same hypocritical views on racial and other types of discrimination, but they haven't jumped on the Demonize Dixie and Trash the Confederacy bandwagon, so I don't pay much attention to them.
Why won't Levin try to invest a nice chunck of change into a philantrophic organization to re-, de- segregate the most segregated city in America, Detroit? The Business Insider mag showed very recently that white and black households are separated metro wide more distincly acute than one huge famous neighborhood from another.

That is indeed interesting. I will have to go back and read it again when I have more time. It bears more than the skimming I have it
DeleteOne thing to remember. The North has a three hundred year history of hostility towards the south. One that predates the complaints about slavery. If there had been no slavery, there still would have been a war. The phoney concern for Black folks' plight is just the chink in the South's political armour. Sans slaves, they would have fought the war to stop the spread of whiskey and cigars. In any case, the rule and authority of
ReplyDeleteMassachusetts was and is at the bottom of it. Not some superior, high minded morality.
And the hostility actually started in Europe, before North America was settled. Levin's family are apparently newcomers to the US, but he has willingly and expertly adopted the prevailing prejudices of his region of residence.
DeleteFrom Kevin's School's Web Site ---
ReplyDeleteGANN IS DIVERSE AND PLURALISTIC.
At Gann, you'll find students from a variety of backgrounds—Orthodox, Conservative, Reform and non-practicing students with differing ways to practice Judaism and live Jewishly. They are athletes, serious scholars, comedians, rock stars and rocket scientists and a thousand other things.
Yeeeeesh !
LOLOL! Is that not a SCREAM, Dave? The Virginia Flaggers are more diverse and pluralistic than those students.
DeleteOnly in Progressive world would that 'diversity' be considered diverse...
