An appointed federal judge, raised in New York, educated in Massachusetts, and with a funny accent and/or funny nose, would simply order the boundaries moved. He would do it knowing full well it would make no difference to him and his golfing buddies as their kids all attend private school, or else their communities are far, far removed from the new boundaries. His decision thus would also have the not unimportant side-benefit of raising home prices in his neighborhood (and land prices for his real estate tycoon buddies) for people seeking to get even further away from Diversatopia. He would then go to his (all white) synagogue or temple on shabbos and be hailed a conquering hero for his tolerance and his sticking it to the racists...<BR/><BR/>In Memphis an alternative played out. The "Jewish Quarter" of town was inside Memphis City boundaries, subjecting them, too, to desegragation policies. The response was to form a magnet program at White Station High that put Jewish kids in the same schools with blacks but effectively divided them in the classroom.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-48263604298559871892008-11-07T22:26:00.000-08:002008-11-07T22:26:00.000-08:00What a bunch of filthy hypocrites.

Now the various non-white, non-Christian rivals are making their advances...advances which might last centuries. <BR/><BR/>The homogenous American Empire or "kingdom" was erected and girded by a group of related philosophical ideas which came to be known as Manifest Destiny. This philosophy was successfully attacked and discredited...and so the kingdom is now being dismantled.<BR/><BR/>This is all part of a brutal ethno-racial struggle for power between Christians, Muslims and Jews and it has played out many times before in various parts of the world.<BR/><BR/>What is happening today in both Europe and North America is a repeat of the battle for control of Iberia.

The conquered cities of Córdoba, Málaga, Granada, Seville, and Toledo were briefly placed under the control of the Jewish inhabitants, who had been armed by the Moorish invaders. The victors removed the Christian Visigoths' oppressive restrictions and granted the Jews full religious liberty, requiring them only to pay the tribute of one golden dinar per capita (Jizya)."<BR/><BR/>"A period of tolerance thus dawned for the Jews of the Iberian Peninsula, whose number was considerably augmented by immigration from Africa in the wake of the Muslim conquest. Especially after 912, during the reign of Abd-ar-Rahman III and his son, Al-Hakam II, the Jews prospered, devoting themselves to the service of the Caliphate of Cordoba, to the study of the sciences, and to commerce and industry, especially to trading in silk and slaves, in this way promoting the prosperity of the country. Jewish economic expansion was unparalleled. In Toledo, Jews were involved in translating Arabic texts to the romance languages, as well as translating Greek and Hebrew texts into Arabic. Jews also contributed to botany, geography, medicine, mathematics, poetry and philosophy."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-22671961540263980132008-11-07T11:21:00.000-08:002008-11-07T11:21:00.000-08:00Steve:I figure she'll respond to you quicker than ...Steve:<BR/><BR/>I figure she'll respond to you quicker than me, so maybe you could e-mail Jennifer Medina and ask her to check her desk for that device that's giving her a <I>petit mal</I> seizure when she tries to type the words "race" or "African-American" or "white."<BR/><BR/>--Senor DougAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-76915060860863775052008-11-07T11:11:00.000-08:002008-11-07T11:11:00.000-08:00It would be interesting to see what the other side...It would be interesting to see what the other side thinks of redistricting.

Indeed, I found myself wondering, as I drove around Detroit, if “subprime” was in fact a new financial euphemism for “black.”</B> This was no idle supposition. According to a joint study by, among others, the Massachusetts Affordable Housing Alliance, 55 percent of black and Latino borrowers in Boston who had obtained loans for single-family homes in 2005 had been given subprime mortgages; the figure for white borrowers was just 13 percent. More than three-quarters of black and Latino borrowers from Washington Mutual were classed as subprime, whereas only 17 percent of white borrowers were. According to a report in The Wall Street Journal, minority ownership increased by 3.1 million between 2002 and 2007.<BR/><BR/>Here, surely, was the zenith of the property-owning democracy. It was an achievement that the Bush administration was proud of. “We want everybody in America to own their own home,” President George W. Bush had said in October 2002. Having challenged lenders to create 5.5 million new minority homeowners by the end of the decade, Bush signed the American Dream Downpayment Act in 2003, a measure designed to subsidize first-time house purchases in low-income groups. Between 2000 and 2006, the share of undocumented subprime contracts rose from 17 to 44 percent. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also came under pressure from the Department of Housing and Urban Development to support the subprime market. As Bush put it in December 2003, “It is in our national interest that more people own their own home.” Few people dissented....</I>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
