‘Pondering the smoking ruins of American racial policy, I wonder whether it isn’t time to say publicly what many, if not most, of both races know: It isn’t working. It isn’t going to work. If it were, it would have. If it were working, we would not need the unending laws to force the races together when they don’t want to be together. If people wanted diversity, it would happen without compulsion..’
The rest of it
The article is utterly without a racist motive, yet the supporters of “diversity” will immediately, reflexively accuse the author of just that.

FOR LIBERTY
So true
It all ends in a race war and since the ratio of blacks to whites runs 9 to 1, I don’t think they win.
Sadly it seems to be our curse that even if you put 3 people of the same everything, sooner rather than later they’ll find something to fight over.
Look at the history of any non-white culture and contrary to we-are-the-world types fantasies, they weren’t living in flower-gathering utopias before whitey came along. Off course we weren’t slaughtering each other 24/7 otherwise we’d all be dead. And it may not have been mass slaughter on a regular frequency, but there was division and dislike, discrimination and persecution.
So Fred definitely has a point, if those of us who really do look, speak, walk and think the same can’t get along, what hope is there for those who don’t in more ways that not.
I personally think that we can all get along, it has to be the under certain circumstances though, everyone has to want it, we must all want to treat each other with respect. We must all want to or at least try to judge each other based on our actions and character. I think we in Australia do this to a large extent and get along with each other peacefully.
America though seems to have found a unique formula of how not to do it or ensure it won’t happen. I’m pretty sure it’s only a noisy minority of Americans who are doing it for crass political reasons but the way they insist on blaming people for stuff they didn’t do, shaming others into doing the same and assuring certain groups that they have a right to do wrong things is a sure fire way to make sure the different people never get along.
I think it’s very sad, to squander such potential and opportunity.
“I personally think that we can all get along, it has to be the under certain circumstances though, everyone has to want it, we must all want to treat each other with respect.

My sentiments exactly.
In the military, with a higher than normal representation of minorities, there was virtually zero problem. We were integrated during and after work. It wasn’t until I finally out of the military that I found out that there were problems (and that, by virtue of my belief in both equality and color blind standards of conduct, I was a racist.)
The author misses the elephant in the room. Integration hasn’t failed despite the laws. Integration has failed because we have a political party wholly dependent on keeping blacks balkanized – on creating hatred, nurturing victimization and fanning the flames of separation. The Dems only survive as a party so long as they can keep blacks believing that non-Dems would take America back to a racial world reminiscent of 1950’s Mississippi while not holding blacks to any reasonable standards of conduct. If the left loses any appreciable portion of the black vote (95% Dem voting block since 1965, after the Republican standard bearer voted against the Civil Rights Act) in elections often separated by just a few points, then the Dems are toast.
There is a deep racial divide in America – but only in certain places: the government, academia, and certain black majority enclaves under the sway of race mongers. And because it is based on bullshit (though bullshit that pays politicos and mongers quite well), it must eventually fall.
I disagree with Ken’s conclusion because I think his points are wrong. Want to heal the racial divide, then the conservatives in America need to make an all out push to end the left’s stranglehold on the black vote. Thomas Sowell, who the author sites with wholly appropriate approval, has been making that point for decades.
Good points, GW. I’ll got back and re-read Fred’s article.
Rand Paul is working toward more minority outreach in Detroit, its not going well.
I’d started looking for other countries solutions to the race problem(s) a few years ago [from New Zealand]. It seemed obvious how to return N.Z to the happier days where we accepted our differences and just got together and got it done.
(The examples I knew first-hand were school, rugby union, work and flatting).
The global outlook doesn’t inspire me with confidence for white people. That’s not due to whites being lesser folks- rather through systematic corruption of our institutions in unprecedentedly prosperous peaceful times the basic survival instincts have been dulled and in some cases even reversed(
).
I haven’t seen anything to indicate China or India for example give rat-shit about starving flyblown africans. I’ve seen a tank squash a student in Tiannamin Square, and misbehaviour from sub-continentals highlighted here at CR.
Whites collective goodness, from 1000s of generations of distinct evolutionary pressures has enabled millions more africans to be born, our petrol dollars have funded a(nother) rise in islamic aggression.
I know my whites/maoris doesn’t apply to anywhere else, apples with oranges- but since ZERO white countries remain homogenous the only outcome I see is either extinction or a race war.
If enough whites can be woken up in time -which the media has flatout treasonously prevent thus far- then I put my money on the honky~
