ETHNIC RIGHTS AMENDMENT P.O.Box 32813, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33420-2813 www.ethnicrightsamendment.org
Preserving ethnicity and culture within a diverse society...
Proposed Ethnic Rights Amendment to the Constitution.
PURPOSE: This amendment is designed specifically for those who inhabit a multiethnic / multicultural country such as America has now become, but who do not want to lose their ethnic and cultural identity through integration/assimilation/corruption as present public policy permits.
AMENDMENT: Neither the Congress nor the States shall deny, in any way whatsoever, the human right of any American ethnic group, to be in community with its own kind ââ¬â as in a neighborhood, development, condo, suburb, village, business, university, club, or other ââ¬â where it is free to preserve its identity, free to preserve, practice and further develop its culture, and free to participate in the comfort, joy and security of being with its own kind.
BRIEF: Just as every religious group has the Constitutional right to gather together under one roof ââ¬â church, temple, mosque, or other ââ¬â to worship in its own way, with its own rituals and liturgy, separate from all the others, so then should each ethnic group have the freedom and right to practice and develop its own culture, in its own communities, separate from all the rest.
EFFECT: Thus when you return home from downtown, the office, stadium or wherever, you will find yourself in the midst of people who look like you, speak like you, dress like you, with your customs and traditions, your schools, stores, media, music, and much more, in short ââ¬â a homeland!

At one time Americans were free to do just as this proposed amendment would enable them to do. The first great erosion of these rights was the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in the late 1940s declaring racial, religious and ethnic exclusionary covenants on real estate "unconstitutional." This the Court did by somehow "equating" the obvious "private action" of establishing these with the "state action" of zoning. Since racially exclusive zoning was a violation of the 14th amendment, so too was judicial enforcement of exclusionary covenants. One of the items dredged up against Judge Bork was his critique of the Court's faulty logic in this case.

Fliegende Hollander,
Great Post. Just the point I was planning to make.

This was the end of freedom in America, the start of Marxism! This happened before Brown Vs. T.B.E. and the rest. And was in manny ways more destructive.
