Los Angeles is often called the most diverse city in the United States— perhaps in the world. Whites have been a minority in Los Angeles County since 1990, and its inhabitants represent more than 140 nationalities and speak 130 different languages.24 The city should be a showcase for diversity’s strengths. The schools, in particular, should be ideal opportunities to practice “contact theory.” Southern California also has an important advantage in that the most salient racial mixes are not the historically freighted one of black and white.
Blacks and Hispanics, for example, came into contact with no past grievances— no real past at all. There is nothing like the specters of slavery, Jim Crow, lynching, or segregation to poison their relations. If anything, two groups that share common experiences as minorities should find contact especially rewarding.

They do not. For decades, students in Los Angeles have stubbornly defied the expectations of those who praise diversity. For decades, calming racial tension— usually between blacks and Hispanics—has been one of the top goals of the school district. In 1999, the district was putting more effort into conflict resolution than any other organization in the city.25 It did not appear to be succeeding.

Discussions about how blacks and whites were to be brought together came to be known as “contact theory,” and its most prominent spokesman was Gordon Allport. In his 1953 book, The Nature of Prejudice, he wrote that prejudice “may be reduced by equal status contact between majority and minority groups in the
pursuit of common goals. The effect is greatly enhanced if this contact is sanctioned by institutional supports . . . .”11 Schools were the best setting for contact. White children, whose prejudices had not yet hardened, would mix with black children under conditions of equality and strict institutional supervision.

Since the 19th century, the Cherokee have considered the descendants of their
black slaves to be full members of the tribe, and in 2006, the Cherokee supreme
court reaffirmed black membership. In 2007, however, the tribe as a whole
overruled its court and voted to expel all 2,800 black members.

If California is the future of the United States, Los Angeles may offer a lesson. In 1960, it was 72 percent white, but in just ten years that figure dropped to 59 percent, and by 2000 the city was only 33 percent white. During the 1980s, while every other racial group was gaining in numbers, Los Angeles County lost 330,000 whites, and a startling 570,000 during the 1990s.100 Where did they go? Beginning in the 1980s, California saw a major shift of whites from southern, immigrant-heavy regions to the white north.101 Many moved to Nevada County, which Mel Mouser, the police chief of the town of Grass Valley, called “the largest concentration of Caucasians in the state of California.” In the 15 years ending in 1995, the county’s population grew by no less than 65 percent and
remained 93 percent white. The newcomers were looking for the kind of homogeneity they grew up with but had lost to immigrants. As Chief Mouser explained, the newcomers “bring with them the common strain of thought: Don’t let it be like where I came from.”102

*White prejudice and discrimination keep the Negro low in standards of living, health, education,
manners and morals. This, in its turn, gives support to white prejudice. White prejudice and Negro
standards thus mutually ‘cause’ each other*

Doris Wilkinson was the first black to enter the University of Kentucky after the 1954 Brown decision, but lost faith in integration, which she calls an “absolute, abysmal failure.” Now a sociologist at the University of Kentucky, she said she looked forward to neighborhood schools that reflect residential segregation. “I hope we get those schools with all deliberate speed,” she said, quoting the Brown ruling.

F for my alma mater

Good talk, guys. I'm out

Cya man!

thanks for joining

I think im going to dip out as well. Great discussion as usual!

Hey, everyone! I have been looking for an app that can read PDFs while I'm driving, doing chores, etc.

I discovered eReader Prestigio and LOVE it. You can change the pitch, speed, and voice. It always saves all your progress so you can pick back up in your book.

@everyone

I actually was able to tweak my readers voice so much that it sounds like Tara Mccarthy

DONT YOU DARE FINISH IT

NOOOOOOOOO

hahahaha

😂

EAT IT, NERD

Whatever, goy. Tara Mccarthy reads me bedtime stories.

Does your gf know?

😧

Maybe I can switch the voice and slow it down to sound like Jared Taylor.

Grandpa Jared could read you stories about his childhood.

Man, I would do anything to hear Jared read Tom Sawyer.

I'll edit all the words "white" to "huwite" so it's authentic

A labor of love

Maybe we can bribe him when we meet him.

I'm in the patron server, during the dinner I will bug him about it

"We'll have six white children each if you do audio books."

DO IT

@SamanthaM

@John O - Lol, what's going on?

We're going to bug Jared to read Tom Sawyer during the patron dinner

He hasn't read it?? But good idea. Hope that goes well.

No, I mean to us. You're not going?

Sorry, can't go. Unfortunately, there are a lot of reasons. Hope you all have a fantastic time!
