Fact. It just happens. The last company I worked for would throw a big Christmas party. When people sat down to eat the blacks would sit at tables together, the hispanics would do the same, and the whites would segregate themselves by the department they worked in.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By odiedodi: No. Self segregation has been the norm for almost the entirety of recorded history. And, for every culture out there, there's some group that they don't like; some group that is their "other." Western whites think it would be great if everyone just ignored race and mixed freely; while most of the rest of the world would want no part of that. Western whites are the only group who torture themselves over shit like this... because they been trained to, for the last half century. Here's something I've noticed over the years - when the subject of the conversation turns to race, listen to what non-whites have to say about white people. I guarantee you, it won't take long before you hear something "racist." (Actually, not racist, more "bigoted" or "prejudiced," but you get the idea.) Why? Because non-whites in America haven't been trained to self-edit. In fact, they've been taught that anti-white racism is okay. It's encouraged. Western whites are desperate to be colorblind in world that most certainly isn't colorblind. I can see that being harmful. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By XNARC: NEW YORK — Film director Spike Lee has engaged in a brief and lively profanity-laced debate about gentrification of largely black New York City neighborhoods. Lee grew up in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. He made his comments during a Black History Month speech at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn on Wednesday night. He says gentrification had little regard for people who "have a culture that's been laid down for generations." Welcome to the party , Pal . |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BeGoneBaizuo: Apparently it's not only allowed, but encouraged for everyone except people of European heritage. Just read the disparaging articles on "gentrification". Or look at the rise of, and rhetorical behind HBCUs. Or how most universities have "non-white safe spaces". The most shocking stuff comes from corporate America. Not only is disparaging one race allowed and cheered, but disenfranching them is as well. In my area it's basically impossible for whites to get a job in government. Especially white men. There are mobile hiring busses that drive around the city. They offer government jobs with good pay and pensions. I was told they weren't hiring whites. Here's a great article from Bloomberg showing how 95% of new hires are none white. They say how great that is, but they complain about the old whites still working at the companies. Robert Putnams study shows empirically what we know is true. That diversity leads to lower trust societies. People are less happy when living with others. This is because most groups tend to hold similar beliefs and values. There have also been plenty of studies that show mixed group societies will compete with each other until one group dominates the other. South Africa is a great canary in the coal mine for the west. You simply need to look at the parallels to America in their laws, rhetoric, and violence to understand this. They are quite a few years ahead of us in the curve, but it's the same direction none the less. Here is a great 3 hour dissertation of South African dissertation on how SA was overthrown. If you don't want to watch it research Joe Slovo and Communist connections. Then when you start really researching you find the same folks behind the curtain everytime. Look at who created the NAACP or the Afrocentrism movement in "science". Then look at the Frankfort school and how they shifted academia and society. This doesn't even BEGIN to touch on other historical movements which shifted culture like feminism, suffrage, integration, and mass immigration. Then there's the banking sector, media (legacy, social, and entertainment), pharmaceuticals, the Marijuana industry, porn peddlers, and government. Here's some quick and easily digestible flyers that are very easily researched. You will probably find them shocking if you don't understand just how little say you have in your own country. Understand that what is happening is being done purposefully. This isn't a question ANYWHERE else in the world except European countries. It is natural everywhere else. Great post and summed up so succinctly. |

I am the white trash in my neighborhood. I was a blue color machinist now retired.
Most neighbors are professionals , engineers accountants a Doctor or two . My house backs up to state land and on a cul-de-sac woods in back and one left side . My house is worth $450k I would guess and when I had it built one neighbor said why so small . How are you going to raise your family . I said once I get the pigs out of the basement we will have Plenty of room . 1800 sf ranch (3000 sf with walk out finished basement 3 1/2 baths 4 bedrooms ) All the kids in the neighborhood are now all grown and left my one daughter also . Now, everybody is envious that I have a ranch while they have these big ass empty nester colonials. Sometimes it’s good to be the small fish in a big pond . Yes I have one of the better kept up houses. And we now have one black family and one mixed both nice and keep their yards up good . That said I would like the have 50 acres and to get away from all ……but wife likes neighbors. |

Jared Taylor has spoken about this for over 30 years. You are correct about western whites being the only people to think like this. The reason for that is because we've had it bashed into the collective consciousness of society for so long. It is absolutely planned. Just look at the billions spent and incredible amount of resources used to transport people into our countries in a way that doesn't happen anywhere else in the world.

I don't care about race, but I do strongly prefer to live around those with the same culture and values. If you're black, brown, or whatever - I'll happily have you as a neighbor if you have the same outlook as I do.
Lived in multicultural Washington DC for several years, didn't care for it. I've also worked on projects with distributed teams from around the US and world. In my experience cultural diversity on a team is a weakness, a distraction, and something to overcome - not a strength. |

It may be but who cares.
I have lived with pretty much 99% low income black folks for 12 or more years in an apartment complex. While I have always managed to keep it cordial or even neighborly I have no interest in buying a house in a predominantly black area. It's just a big culture clash and my wife and I love to be left alone. I feel most white people feel like I do so we can live near each other and leave each other alone lol |

That being said, I live in Thailand, an area known as Jomtien. I refer to it as Jomtienograd as it seems to be filled with fucking Russians and Ukrainians. Some of the woman are very attractive however if you're into healthy looking white chicks. I avoid interaction as I strongly prefer to associate with the locals. Is it true Russian and Ukrainian women are really hard and coldhearted and only interested in money or is that an Internet myth The expats in Thailand might be different, but I have known many Eastern European ladies from my church and one of my relatives married a Russian lady, they've been together like 20+ years now. They don't walk around with a stupid grin on their face like we seem to think "happy" or "normal" people do in the west, their resting bitch face is stronk! That said they are pretty much like any other ladies besides being thinner and the aforementioned RBF, they are warm and kind once you get to know them and some tend to have more traditional family values than some of their USA born peers. My great aunt from (original) St Petersburg is a wonderful mother and wife. I also had a friend in trade school starting his second career, he was in his 40s and married a Bulgarian lady of the same age. She was a charming and kind lady. We were on the second shift, while there were several married men there too, she was the only one who'd come and have dinner with her husband. He chose wisely. As to the OP's question, I care little about race in where I live, it's more the socioeconomic status that matters to me. I guarantee outsiders come into the neighborhood and lift car door handles at night (I park my cars inside), porch pirates, etc but when a crap car belonging to an outsider comes down the street, let's just say it gets a lot of eyes and heads turned, those heads are of every race. In my old mostly white and hispanic hood I averaged a 911 call once a year and a couple non-emergency police calls, and would hear gunshots every few days. In the newer and very diverse hood I have called the non-emergency line once in two years, and heard gunshots one time. It probably helps that my current hood is about 50% .mil or LEO. |

Race doesnt matter so much. Its a type of person I want to live around. Our neighborhood is a mix of races but no hood people. Its nice and quiet and everyone is friendly, but this is an expensive neighborhood for the area.
Our last house (in a different state) was a different story. Older neighborhood with lots of renters, some of which we believe were section 8. At one time there were 14 people in a 3 bedroom house. Luckily that group only lasted about a year. They were nasty and left trash all over the place but at least they were quiet. Had a white family in that house before them and there were several DV police visits and the kid started a fire in my neighbor's yard. |

I would say that it's probably "wrong" but I get it. What you're really saying is that people want to live around people who share their culture and values. Some cultures are predominately white, with values predominately espoused by by whites and some cultures are predominately black with values which are predominately espoused by blacks.
Looking at color is just a quick and dirty way to try to determine whether someone shares those things. It may give you the right answer sometimes or even most of the time, but it's not 100% accurate and by doing that, you're just doing what the left does when they say that "all white people are racist" or some such bullshit. We need to get away from talking about color and talk about behavior. For example, reacting with extreme violence to any perceived slight or "disrespect" no matter how minor is not a thing caused by melanin content. It's a value espoused by members of a certain culture and it has no place in civilized society. It's never going to change if we let the left pit us against each other based on "color" while we ignore the culture problem. |

I have lived outside of the US for over 10 years of my adult life. I have lived among Asians, blacks, and Latinos where I was in the very small minority (less than 1%). I would rather live among some of those populations than white trash, hard core lefties, or religious zealots any day, every day.
Socioeconomic status is a very small factor. The attitudes of the people are of much greater concern to me. A populace of people with a good work ethic, kind behavior, and strong sense of family and community mean a lot more to me. I have friends of Indian descent who readily welcomed me into their group simply because they are good dudes. Sikhs and Gujarati in particular make some of the best friends and neighbors. They make great food as well. Costa Ricans were the same way. I’m not going to pretend race doesn’t exist, it does, and it is part of anyone’s identity and often culture. But it doesn’t have to be a divisive factor. It’s just there. Genetically we are all nearly indistinguishable anyway. |
