A great comment from Rotten, on how Whites from different American regions have responded to the forced desegregation of their nation.
Heartiste has talked about ‘Good Schools’ and other hidden taxes on whites, like the above examples of regulations and HOAs.
He’s also commented on how these taxes drive down “affordable family formation” by significantly raising the costs to have kids.
All of this relates to how boomers handled desegregation.
The California/Western approach was Racial Covenants, but the govt outlawed this (example: two future presidents lived in all white Compton, CA in 1947, blocks away from the beach and 6 miles from downtown or 5 miles to the port, but, by 1987, Compton is the most famous ghetto in America.)
The Sothern Approach was to live in the same neighborhood but have segregated facilities (similar to today’s Northern Ireland). This was struck down by courts (famous example, Selma AL was turned from a prosperous nice working city into an impoverished hellhole).
The Northern & Midwest Example was for whites to live in and sell to their own ethnic groups informally and extralegally. A city might have a little Italy and a little Germany and a little Poland. And some of this approach survives today in places like Madison, WI. But, The government mostly crushed this with school bussing, part of the Johnson and Nixon administration’s attempt to crush the power of ethnic whites within the Democrat party. (White people fled bussing, their ethnic neighborhoods didn’t re form, and midwestern cities like Detroit, or more recently Milwaukee, became shitholes).
The last legal was to discriminate was to the Puritan method (found almost exclusively in cities founded by former Puritans). Simply make everything so expensive that the diversity can’t come. To this day, San Francisco, Boston, Portland, Seattle, are all relatively peaceful and prosperous. It’s the only currently legal way to prevent diversity. But this costly model isn’t affordable or sustainable. White fertility is such places nears zero.
And cities everywhere are now trying to copy the Puritan approach, which is making the bigger problem (low white fertility due to high costs and the destruction of the white lower and middle classes) even worse. Moreover, those whites who are able to buy their way out of diversity by paying hidden taxes coalition with the Democrat party to preserve their way of life from all of the diversity that free enterprise will inflict on them. And this coalition prevents any honest discussion of race in America.
Western Whites – Racial Covenants
Southern Whites – Jim Crow
Midlands Whites – Ethnic nepotism
Puritan Whites – Discriminatory pricing
Jim Crow has received the brunt of GoodWhite Fake Moralizing, but all four approaches are designed to help Whites avoid the same end: racially mixed District 9 neighborhoods and all the crime, dreariness, annoyances, and ugliness that entails.
On the moral ledger, Puritan Whites are NO MORE MORAL than the BadWhites they have spent the past sixty-odd years demonizing for social status points and virtue sniveling accolades. The only difference is that Puritan Whites have tackled the problem obliquely instead of directly, through price and zoning controls, allowing them the necessary plausible deniability when confronted on their covert race realism.
Another civil war is all but assured as long as the regional Whites see fit to posture and deny reality for the pleasure of beating each other up for a warm glow of sanctimony; the system just cannot accommodate another sixty years of this race denial bullshit. The money or the patience will run out, and then the score settling begins.
