[url=http://www.vdare.com/francis/dancing.htm]Freedom Of Association. Heard Of It?[/url]
by Sam Francis
"It's hard to imagine that the practice of segregation still exists in the United States," bleated Jeffrey Scott Shapiro, a University of Florida law student in a column in the Los Angeles Times last week, "but it does."
What's really hard to imagine is that any person old enough and bright enough to go to law school could write such a sentence. [May 14, 2003, Separate Proms -- and Racism -- Linger in Parts of the South, Los Angeles Times, Florida version, no registration reqââ¬â¢d]
The reason for Mr. Shapiro's lack of imagination was the announcement by white students at a high school in Wrightsville, Ga., that they would hold a spring prom restricted to whites only.
Their school held another, official prom that students of all races could attend, but the whites wanted their own prom.
For that reason, for the last couple of weeks, the high schoolers have had to endure the sneers, insults, denunciations and ridicule of people like Mr. Shapiro, who know exactly what the students in Georgia should do and how they should do it.
One such denouncer is pundit Bill O'Reilly, who screamed about the wickedness and backwardness of the white students for days. In a recent column, [Prom Night - All White, May 08, 2003] Mr. O'Reilly pontificates about how helpless he, you, the federal government, the courts and presumably the United Nations all are in preventing the prom or punishing the students.
"You can't sue because the event is being held off-campus. It's a private party, and no person of color is welcome. Yet the party is being held under the banner of Taylor High's junior prom. Yes, there is an alternative prom where everyone is welcome, but still a number of your classmates do not want to celebrate with you."
It's terrific that Mr. O'Reilly recognizes that there are limits to the power of the state to interfere with private social events, and so does Mr. Shapiro, who sadly acknowledges, "Authorities are powerless to interfere" with the white prom.
Yet it apparently has never occurred to either of them that the white students, like all other Americans, have a right to freedom of association and that there is absolutely nothing anyone or anything can or should do to interfere with what is basically merely a private party.
What is wrong with whites holding a whites-only prom? As a reader of Mr. O'Reilly's column in the Washington Times wrote in response to it,
"As a young adult not too far removed from an 'integrated' Prince George's County high school, I can tell you that there were a number of clubs to which whites need not have applied. Mr. O'Reilly should know that it is considered normal, even encouraged, for blacks and other minorities to form groups in clubs just for themselves. Even at school sporting events, blacks would congregate on one side of the gym, whites on the other. At lunch, blacks would sit with other blacks, whites with other whites. Heterosexual whites constituted the only group that did not have an organization of its own."
The point, which neither Mr. O'Reilly nor Mr. Shapiro seems capable of grasping, is that "segregation," if that's the right term for the voluntary association of people of the same race, is commonplace, and nowhere more so than among blacks.ÃÂ
There are black student unions, black dormitories, black student associations, and black professional groups, not to mention black caucuses and wealthy, powerful national organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People explicitly devoted to the advancement of the political power of blacks.
This week the Washington Post carried a front page story [Diversity Or Division, by Michael A. Fletcher, May 19, 2003] about how blacks and other racial minorities are holding racially separate graduation ceremonies and events at the University of Pennsylvania, Vanderbilt, Michigan, Michigan State, Stanford, and other prestigious schools, all with the approval if not the sponsorship of the colleges' administrations.
I await with bated breath Mr. O'Reilly's and Mr. Shapiro's fulminations about such "segregation."
I expect I will suffocate first.
Why can't whites have their own private dance without being damned and denounced by self-righteous prigs like Mr. Shapiro and Mr. O'Reilly?ÃÂ
Quite simply because white racial identity and white racial consciousness are today verboten, virtually illegal under public law and certainly a taboo enforced by self-appointed watchdogs like our two valiant apostles of color-blindness, while non-white racial identity and consciousness are not only legitimate but encouraged and actually promoted by the government and dominant culture.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with either racial group holding its own parties, proms, ceremonies, and social events, and the commonplaceness of non-whites doing so means that there is no legitimate reason why whites cannot and should not do so as well.
The great truth of our era is that race has been rediscovered, as both a scientific and a social reality.
Those like Mr. Shapiro and Mr. O'Reilly who haven't heard about it need to catch up with the times.

Interesting to note that this "Shapiro" wrote pieces like
[url=http://www.unansweredquestions.net/timeline/2002/insight091002.html]this[/url]
and
[url=http://www.insightmag.com/news/414220.html]this[/url]
in support of Bush's great war, and, apparently, to lay blame on Palestinians for 9/11. There has been nothing printed to substantiate Shapiro's claims about Palestinian foreknowledge of the terror attacks; while it wouldn't be overly surprising to find out that such knowledge actually existed, Shapiro goes to amazing lengths to avoid mentioning any of the arrests of Israelis that were common knowledge at the time.
Shapiro is also a former tabloid reporter who covered the Jon Benet Ramsey circus, specializing in harassing John Ramsey and any investigators who uncovered evidence leading away from the Ramseys. Shapiro claims he suffered a guilty conscience and switched sides, leading to the tabs being investigated by the FBI for their tactics. How tikkunish- according to Shapiro he was going "undercover" for the cause of goodness and light even while accepting and cashing (for three years) the tabloid's paychecks. It sounds more likely that he was just protecting his tail in case some of his tactics came back to bite him on it. A real sleazebucket from the word "Oy".
I sent Shapiro a syrupy fan letter, complimenting him for opening my eyes about the Palestinian 9/11 "conspiracy". I also told him I'd found a wealth of information concerning foreknowledge of the attacks, and gave him the URL so he could read about it personally-

O'Riley and Shapiro are creatures of the Zionist-controlled media, as such they are enemies of white folks. My thought for the day is that loyal Americans everywhere should distinguish themselves by organizing into groups armed with horse whips and beat these apostles of "political correctness" whenever they venture into the public. If O'Riely and Shapiro were treated as public enemies, their kind would quickly fade into oblivion.

After federal agents questioned DiLorenzo, police detectives questioned her fourth-period class to see if anyone else had heard the boy's comments. Once the detectives were finished, the boy and his brother forcibly were taken to the 62nd Precinct headquarters, where two investigators with the FBI-JTTF questioned them for several hours. Their father, who was in Israel at the time of the attacks**, was scheduled to fly home Sept. 11 on a commercial airliner, but he was delayed when all flights to the United States were grounded.
"They asked us if we knew [Osama] bin Laden or if we knew the airline hijackers," the older brother told me. "They were convinced my brother was not only a part of the attacks but that he had helped plan them. They believed it, I could see it in their eyes."
The two boys were grilled for hours. By the end of the interviews, they had answered repeated questions about what they had said in class the week before.**
Funny, the [u]published [/u]story of this event (by another Jew) said the father fled to Pakistan the day before 9/11. But, knowing Brooklyn cops and who they're working for, I'm not surprised they let the two go after confirming Daddy was in Israel. That is, if they were let go. Shapiro is so busy promoting himself, he never refers to the resolution of the interrogation. Here's a guess: if the two kids were Sephardics or otherwise dusky Jews...they walked. If they're Ay-rabs, they're now on Guantanamo.
Everywhere in this story, it's "a top editor told me", "according to students", "a conversation I had had with someone I knew at NBC", "my sources informed me". Even Jayson Blair knows better than that.
Oh, and while chasing this story (from Florida) he managed to miss Universal Art Supplies and the Dancing Rooftop Israelis altogether. How extrraordinary.
So much for Shapiro's reporting, you say: can he tongue a rectum?
Can he ever!:
**When our president set foot upon the crumbled steel and shattered glass of the World Trade Center, he reminded us of our greatness and we cheered. It was at that moment, that this young Texas governor truly became the President of the United States and won the mandate and the hearts of the American people.
In the wake of Sept. 11, only one country had the audacity not to lower its embassy flag to half-mast. Expressing no sense of compassion, offering no words of support, Iraq flew its flag high and mighty as it's black and white stripes and emboldened green stars waved proudly in the New York City wind.
recent polls show that America's feelings on the war have changed. In fact, most television news networks now report that over 75 percent of the nation supports the war. Perhaps the proof that the president was right came when the first Iraqi citizens encountering U.S. Marines refused to fire guns but instead threw up their hands and cheered for America.
Yet despite this wave of happiness and relief sweeping through southern Iraq, my fellow liberal Democrats still contend the war is wrong. They argue that the liberation of Iraq is unjustified. Street protesters cry out that our aim is to seize oil instead of freeing innocent people who have suffered under the iron rule of a sadistic dictator.
Allow me to respond: How could you? How could you be so cowardly? How can you portray yourselves as the champions of human rights yet lack the courage to do anything about it? Are you so afraid of conflict that you lack the conviction to stand before the world and denounce evil even when it exists in its most pure form? Do you not see the torture and heartbreak of a nation in despair? Do you care? Can you not put party politics aside and support our president in this unified struggle for freedom?
According to the Foreign & Commonwealth Office of London report on Saddam Hussein's Crimes and Human Rights Abuses, the Iraqi regime has openly engaged in state-licensed rape, acid baths, electric shock, eye gouging, the piercing of hands with electric drills and mock executions. Families whose members betray Saddam are forced to watch their sisters, daughters and wives raped repeatedly by soldiers whose professional job is to "violate a woman's honor." Those who openly condemn Saddam Hussein have their tongues cut from their mouths so they can never speak again.
Citizens held captive in the Mahjar prison in Baghdad are beaten twice a day and women are regularly raped by their guards. Those locked in the prison's underground are kept in rows of rectangular steel boxes roughly the size of a coffin until they either confess or die. The boxes are opened only for one hour a day and prisoners are fed only liquids to stay alive.
ÃÂ The human rights abuses perpetuated by Saddam Hussein and his regime go beyond the pale of cruelty. They are inhumane, incomprehensible and criminal. How can we, as Americans let such cruelty stand? Should we cower away at the fear of losing troops and surrender our resolve because we are without a quick and painless victory?
Think for a moment what America would be like today if President Lincoln had hesitated to send Union troops to free the slaves in the south. The Civil War was long and harsh, costing our nation the lives of hundreds of thousands. Yet, by challenging the Confederacy, Lincoln completed the next stage of the American Revolution and ended the diabolical institution of slavery.
I can think of no other place more sacred in this country than the temple we call the Lincoln Memorial. I will never forget how I felt as a child when I first gazed up at the marble frame of President Lincoln as he sat silently on his throne. It was a spiritual feeling I had never felt before in my life and it is something that I will never forget.
Although slavery has been abolished in America it still exists in many dark corners of the globe. Iraq is one of those places.
In the wake of Iraq's misery, one man rose above all others and said there would be no more. Many people listened to the cries of human rights organizations across the globe, but only one man did anything about it. Like President Lincoln before him, one man put the cause of freedom above himself and his political career. One man chose to liberate the people of Iraq when the world condemned him for it. One man initiated the next frontier of the American Revolution because he knew that revolution will not be over until every human being on this planet is free.
War is a necessary function of freedom. Those who enslave others must be forced to step down from their despotic positions of power. They will not simply relinquish it. Although it was unpopular to do so, President Bush had the heart to do the right thing. He took action. He sent troops to free innocent people. He knew what it was to truly love humanity.**
Carol Ward said it and I've yet to see any proof to the contrary:
Evil, thy name is Jew.

We mustnââ¬â¢t judge too harshly, Sam. Shapiros are renowned for their inability to detect primal nature at work. Besides, how other than silly pronouncements would fellow students peg those who gained admission under the special consideration category?
