How progressives promote racial segregation under the guise of “equality”

In the United States, images from the era of racial segregation are etched into the minds of those who lived through it, as well as those who watched an hour of history after the victory of the civil rights movement: drinking fountains reserved for whites or blacks, parks and recreation facilities divided by race, narrow streets of interior cities with cinemas, restaurants and markets only for whites.

Fortunately , it all ended in the mid-1990s 1960—at least that’s what it looked like. Recently, segregation has been practiced again, but this time under the guise of “racial equality”. As I told in 1280, government agencies in Seattle, Washington, including the public library, the attorney’s office, and the that cares for veterans have begun separating employees according to race in various diversity training programs so that whites can “accept responsibility for their racism” and minorities can protect themselves “from any potential harm that can be done.” can be caused in interracial conversations.”

This year, the The new segregationism reached a new level: that of education and public health policies. In Denver, Centennial Elementary School launched “Fun Night for Families of Color” as part of its equality program. In Chicago, Downers Grove South High School promoted the “Colored Student Tour”, also as part of its pro-equality initiative. In the words of Denver education officials, managers implemented segregated activities to “create a space of belonging” that, they say without any irony, “intends to unite us, not divide us.”

The new segregationism was also implemented in the public health system, with federal and state agencies denying vaccines and treatment against Covid-19. based on people’s race. This fad started last year when Vermont distributed vaccines to all members of racial minorities over years, denying them to whites without specifying age or health conditions. Later, New York, Minnesota, Utah, and the federal government adopted policies that explicitly discriminated against whites, limiting treatment on the basis of race. (In the face of public outrage, Minnesota recently reversed its decision, while Utah announced it was “re-evaluating” the measure. But both Utah and New York measures remain in effect). The most common justification for the new segregationism is that racial minorities suffer from disparities that must be corrected through “ positive discrimination”, treated as a solution to American historical racism. In practice, however, these measures are irrational, cruel and perverse. According to Minnesota criteria, for example, the state would have to prioritize the treatment of Covid-16 of a healthy black woman from 18 years, ignoring a white male of 18 with hypertension and who, under the circumstances, are at a much greater risk of dying. The new racial policies overlap with the old science of medicine, with potentially catastrophic consequences for disadvantaged racial groups.
