NileValleyPeoples: Critical Race Theory debunked! Part 1 -the classes of doom nilevalleypeoples

The history of race in

America

continues to be continually rewritten by an assortment of right-wing libertarians and conservatives in the “fight” against “critical race theory.” One of the latest blinding insights is that the whole segregation thing wasn’t “really” about race, but about economic “class.” Such arguments are being put forward on a passel of right –wing and some libertarian websites, apparently as a “counter” to said “critical” race theory. Zounds! Proponents include Paul Craig Roberts, a well educated author who has published several books, and is he looked up to in the right-wing eco-system.

Here are some excerpts from his article: “Racial Discrimination Against White Americans Has Been Institutionalized.”

https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/05/24/racial-discrimination-agains-white-americans-has-been-institutionalized/

QUOTE:
“The 1896 Supreme Court Plessy decision, which gave us “separate but equal” is widely considered today to be incorrect. Legal scholars maintain that the private railroad company violated the Constitution by separating people in railway cars on the basis of race. Justice John Marshall Harlan’s dissent–“Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens”–is almost universally considered correct.

How can it be, then, that the same legal scholars who damn the Plessy decision support the 1896 Supreme Court’s Plessy reasoning when they uphold the right of private media to divide people into classes based on belief and to discriminate on the basis of opinion? TV, print, radio, and social media all discriminate against those who dissent from the official narratives. If the railway company’s policy was in violation of the 14th Amendment, most certainly media’s policy of censorship and “cancelling” is in violation of the 1st Amendment.”

But this part of Robert's argument, comparing racial segregation to other types of differentiation is laughable. Just a few examples will expose this nonsense. For one thing, modern democratic countries do nor forbid citizens to own land in a certain area, or force them to live where they don't want to, or force them to use atrocious public accommodations, etc etc merely over a difference of personal or political opinions. Republicans who hold office in a particular city for example do not demand that all Democrats leave town at sundown or forbid them to own land, as was sometimes the case in various "Jim Crow" jurisdictions and "sundown" towns. The analogy between the Jim Crow and mere difference of political opinion is rather ludicrous. Second, the Supreme Court did not use “Plessy reasoning” to decide private media cases. Roberts fails to even cite the case or evidence in question- a typical pattern of assorted libertarian and right-wing “warriors” who all too often neglect actual data or evidence where race is involved. Third, private media cases regarding which political opinion is published by a private entity do not involve or have a 14^th Amendment and its massive history revolving around race behind them. And yet the deep thinkers of these forums, blogs and websites still pursue the idiotic “Geeze, if we can differentiate on political opinion, why can’t we legally discriminate based on race?” Really?

But stay with me homes, it gets better..

"Ignore the "colored" sign, it was all about "class" not "race"..

Roberts then throws in the example of the segregationist railway in Plessy. It seems that the good railroad folk were not “really” discriminating based on race but merely “class” – you know first class, second class and so on. Gosh! Why do those dastardly “SJWs” and “liberals” have to bring in race at all?

Sez Robert- QUOTE:

“ The same railway company that provided different railway cars for different races provided different railway cars for different classes. People were, and still are today, segregated by economic class. A second class ticket is no good in a first class car. Why is racial separation worse than class separation? Why does one get legal remedy but not the other?”

Now the above is a really deep question. Apparently Roberts is unaware that in the history of US railroads, blacks did indeed utilize “class” distinctions and bought first class tickets to various places. What happened is that they were usually thrown out of the higher classes when trains reached segregated jurisdictions, or at the whim of conductors per that railway's policy or not, and into the third tier or generously, second tier, “negro accommodations.” These came complete with overcrowded cars, malfunctioning toilets (if any), toxic enviro hazards like open cars filled with toxic soot and smoke, and dangerous train locations- like right behind the engine- sacrificial buffers when train collisions happened (as they too often did back in the day). And best of all, the white railroads made a profit on the deal. Negroes who paid for a higher class were thrown into the lower class, but the white railway got to keep the negro's first class fare. Sweet! Studies such as Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance, by Mia Bay), tell the dismal tale.

Let’s look at a typical case, distinguished only by the fact that the black victim had the time and money and stature to fight back to a high level. In a 1937 case that went all the way to the Supreme Court, a black train passenger who had paid full first-class fare, was forced under threat of arrest to vacate his comfortable Pullman berth and move to second-rate black “Jim Crow” accommodation when the train crossed into Arkansas. Ejection of the negro opened up a new berth that could be sold to whites, but the railroad still kept the man’s full-ride money while shifting him to a venue with less service and amenities. The Court ruled a violation of the Interstate Commerce Act in that the train company (Illinois Central and Rock Island Railroads) failed to provide equal amenities to the black man once he had been threatened and relocated in Arkansas.

In practical terms however this “victory” was a farce since almost nowhere in the Jim Crow south were black and white facilities anywhere “equal.” And who was this hapless negro? He turned out to be Congressman Arthur Mitchell, the only black member of Congress at the time, which explains how he had the resources to bring such a lawsuit. But even he, one of the “quality folk” was banished to the “Jim Crow” sector. Said the white conductor eloquently “It don’t make a damn bit of difference who you are—as long as you a nigger you can’t ride in this car.”

The “colored” sections typically were not air-conditioned or well ventilated, were poorly partitioned (even white smokers had a partition, but not vice versa for blacks in the 'white' section). The "colored" area often had toilets that were malfunctioning, and no wash basins, soap, towels or running water save some basics in the ‘colored’ women's section. Berths for whites by contrast were well appointed, air conditioned, with hot and cold running water, soap, towels, flushable toilets and coming with full use of the dining car and observation-parlor coach. In an initial filing with the ICC, the Negro’s complaint was dismissed with the finding that his treatment was not unjust or unduly bad. An appeals court likewise dismissed Mitchell’s case, holding that the small number of first class negro passengers justified an "occasional discrimination against them because of their race." nilevalleypeoples

Ah the good old days.. nary a negro to be seen among the pure, save yon servitors..

Mitchell fought on to the Supreme Court, presenting the oral arguments himself before that august white body in 1941. It ruled that the issue was not segregation but (a fictitious) “equal treatment,” and remanded the case back down for further proceedings after 4 years of litigation. Mitchell eventually reached an out-of-court settlement with the railroad, but his political career was effectively over, having angered the white political establishment for his temerity in bringing such a high-profile suit. It took until 1956, for the ICC to end segregation on interstate transportation, (and that ruling was often ignored in most of the white south until the Civil Rights Act of 1964), and it was not until 25 years later in 1973, that the State of Arkansas finally got around to repealing its segregation law of 1891, under which Mitchell was ejected.

It should also be noted here that contrary to libertarian mantra of supposed “profits lost” due to discrimination, the incident (until black pushback) actually represented a nice bonus for the white company. It would get to initially keep the black congressman’s first class money for a Pullman sleeper, even as he was pushed into the lower-grade “colored” tier, and could resell his “white” berth for the full-ride price. A “colored” berth for example worth say $30 could be occupied by a rejected African-American who had initially paid $150 for first class. Nice! (See Mitchell v. United States et al., 313 U.S. 80 (1941).

A long list of other court cases tell much the same tale. (See Martha Biondi 2003. To Stand and Fight.) Oh and did I mention that the conservative courts that heard the case did not consider Robert’s Disney-like claim about “class” but gasp, dealt with the dreaded “race” issue? Imagine that.. The conservative courts took up the supposedly non-existent or irrelevant “race issue”? Who woulda thunk?

Wanting to be with dey own kind.. nilevalleypeoples

Roberts then plays the standard right-wing, libertarian mantra card: “People want to be with their own kind.” Sez he:

“When ideological emotions take over, history gets lost. Did the railway company see itself as discriminating against blacks or as complying with the wishes of most of its customers? People generally feel more comfortable among their own kind.”

Pause,.. struggle to control a wry smile.. Ah yes, the old “personal race choice” justification? But it never seems to have occurred to deep thinker Roberts (a published author you know!) and those like him, that buses, trains or streetcars have long been recognized as COMMON CARRIERS, meaning they have to serve ALL the public. On these common carriers, white people were perfectly free to be “with their own kind.” All they had to do was ignore the “troubling” presence of Congressman Mitchell, or move to another seat so they would not have to sit near blacks- that way they could be in pristine white purity in their own seats or corners, "with their own kind." Meanwhile, Mitchell, or other blacks who traveled with companions or families were perfectly free to stay “with their own kind” in their own seats, for which they paid full fare.

Robert's argument is a typical libertarian (or perhaps neo-segregationist) one that attempts to minimize or dismiss segregation as a matter of mere personal "choice" or preference. But in the REAL world segregation was anything but innocuous "choice." It included a brutal range: from black women assaulted and thrown off streetcars and buses, to the brutal convict system of semi-slavery put in place by whites after the civil war, to violent "white-cappers" ordering blacks deemed "too" prosperous out of "sundown" towns or their homes, to fully paid up black airline passengers ordered off planes to make room for white passengers in the 1950s, to married couples or individuals banished from their home state for decades due to “miscegenation” laws. In most areas of life blacks were not "(ala Milton Friedman) "free to choose" to “avoid” would-be “rednecks.” If you were black, humiliation and disadvantage was shoved in your face every day. For example, if you were black then groupings of banks and mortgage lenders denied you financing except in overcrowded “redlined” ghetto areas, and smiling real estate agents “steered” you to these “approved” zones. And like Mitchell blacks were sometimes FORCED into inferior 2^nd or 3^rd tier venues after having paid for first “class.” They didn’t get to “choose” what "kind" they preferred, There has never been an “opt out” for black people.

Intrusion confusion: These cases further highlight another lament for discrimination- even used sometimes by black conservatives like Thomas Sowell hero, columnist George Schuyler, and countless biased whites, north and south: the propaganda construct of blacks seeking to “intrude” where they "were not wanted." But time and again blacks sought no “intrusion” to mix with whites, only normal human treatment and peace to go about their business. First-come-first serve seating on a common transportation carrier for example is normal business having nothing to do with “intruding” into white “society.” They simply wanted to go from point A to point B using normal facilities every other passenger used. Using a restaurant inside a publicly owned bus, train or airline terminal is normal for travelers on a common carrier and has nothing to do with “intrusion” or any potential lead-on to “dangerous” equality or interracial sexual “miscegenation.” Whites were and are still free to establish exclusively white private clubs and charter transports, or were free to huddle in their own corner of common carrier establishments in pristine racial purity. The average black man just wanted to eat his hamburger and drink his coffee in peace, just like everybody else, before moving on. Whether he was “socially equal” to or was "liked" by nearby white people is/was irrelevant.

Finally, far from black “intrusion” disrupting the “natural choice” of people to segregate themselves, time and again it was whites who insisted on “intruding” among blacks even after said whites had first set up the fraudulent “separate but equal” formula. Whites insisted blacks stay “in their own areas” yet kept “intruding” their white businesses, institutions and union job demands into “colored” areas,” For example when white construction unions found business slow they "intruded" into "colored" areas to greedily hog any jobs to be found there as well. It was terrorist white gangs of “whitecappers” that kept “intruding” into and on black areas and privately owned or rented black land to rob, murder and drive away blacks they deemed “too” prosperous.

As far as openly legal Jim Crow the pattern repeats itself. Whites mandated "separate but equal," but continually kept "intruding" across the same "color line" they had set up, when it was convenient or profitable for them. On bus, train or streetcar, whites continually "intruded" into the "colored" areas when the white one was filled so they would not be inconvenienced by having to stand. No similar liberty was given to blacks however. On the railroads, whites who wanted to smoke were sometimes banished to the "colored" train cars where they could puff toxic substances to their heart's content, among black folks, who had no option to refuse. Again, "color bar" rules were fine, as long as they did not inconvenience whites. If there was a problem, the rules was changed or selectively enforced.

Likewise it was the cynical collaboration between private white landlords and other entities and public officials that imposed the brutal and unjust convict “leasing” system – a great source of cheap captive labor for white corporations and land owners- that “intruded” into the lives of tens of thousands of black men, (and even women and children), with devastating effects for them and their families. It was whites, from private realtors or banks, to public officials that kept “intruding” to blockade black liberty to transact in housing markets, denying blacks (and whites willing to transact) the very same “freedom of choice” they touted as some sort of beneficent universal principle, but one they often did not follow, if blacks were involved. Far from, blacks "intruding" into this and that, the main "intrusions" on the line of race involved white people.

Someone of the "Caucasian" class..

Roberts then adds another “deep” statement but seems not to realize he contradicts his own spiel – his “neutral” “classes” are based on race:
QUOTE:

“The railway company could have prevented the issue by having three classes of cars: one for whites, one for blacks, and one for everyone. Then people could sit with whom they wished.”

LOL.. Poor Roberts. He does not seem to realize that he is contradicting his own argument – typical pattern with an assortment of right-wing types. His proposed three “classes” are not “neutral” at all, but based on race. But hey, his generous catchall “everyone else” category would allow all those other mino-rorities to mix and mingle- give and take the odd Asian, Hispanic, or even Egyptian immigrants like Mostafa Henry above, who by the way under US race classifications would be classified as “Caucasian.” Would black Egyptians like Mostafa Hefny above get to go in the “raceless” “white” class the "black" one, or the "everyone else" class? Scratch head..
https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/09/07/egyptian-immigrant-wants-to-be-reclassified-as-black/

Ahhh, black in the dayz.. Apparently, Atlanta had no segregation y'all!

Roberts then lays on the other standard basis for “refuting” the dastardly “critical” theory- you know- that good ‘ol personal anecdote. “You see, back in da day…” But his misty-eyed memory only exists in Disney-like fantasy, not in the hard-edged history of race. Quote:

“It is widely believed that in the South “separate but equal”–a Supreme Court decision–was used to segregate education. This is nonsense. In the Atlanta, Georgia, in which I grew up segregation was by income class. The schools were neighborhood schools. Middle class kids went to their neighborhood school. Poor kids went to their neighborhood school. Rich kids went to their neighborhood school. The class separation was not based on a doctrine or policy of class or economic segregation. It was pure practicality. Those were days prior to “a car for every member of the household” and kids walked to their neighborhood school.”

Oh wow. Those were the dayz pilgrim.. You see, there was no "racial" issue at all folks, just "practicality." Lol. And Atlanta didn’t have skools segregated by race, but merely income class! Wow so the entire civil rights movement in Atlanta based on school segregation was all about nothing? And what about Atlanta's substantial black middle class? How come they never got to attend where they wanted based on income? The intelligent reader should by now be doubled over in laughter, but hey, Roberts (a published author y’all!) is doing a real service in refuting those dastardly “critical” theorists and “liberals.”

And then more blinding insight – airlines segregate by class. Why can’t people also segregate by race? Turns out that airlines used to segregate by BOTH race AND “class”:
QUOTE:

“Consider airline transportation today. Long flights are segregated into 1st class, business class, and a multiple-designated coach class with various privileges declining as the back of the airliner is reached.”

Yassuh! But one jarring note: As late as the 1950s, US airlines did not only segregate by class, they also segregated by race. If blacks wanted to take an airline trip for example, it was not simply a matter of “choosing” to “avoid” “redneck” airlines. All the major carriers like American Airlines discriminated against black passengers in seat assignments, “bumped” them to make room for white passengers, pretextually ordered them off planes, and a host of other nonsense. American Airlines in the 1950s concealed such practices by secretly “coding” black passengers with a special “E111” code that only became public when it fired a Jewish employee who questioned the practice. New York hero Jackie Robinson was only notable in that he was a celebrity, but for his trouble, at one point in an airline trip, the black baseball hero and his wife were ordered off a plane to make room for white travelers.

Bounced from a flight for "traveling while black" famed singer Ella Fitzgerald missed a concert date and thousands in earnings. She hit back with a lawsuit and won..

In the 1950s (not the distant 1800s), world renowned black singer Ella Fitzgerald on a trip to Australia with her musical troupe was bumped off her Pan Am flight during a layover in Hawaii, and their seats given to white passengers. The plane departed with their clothing, personal belongings and luggage, leaving the black women stranded for 3 days in limbo with little but the current clothes on their backs. Fitzgerald was forced to cancel her Australian concert, losing substantial earnings. After 3 days white airline officials generously offered the black women “coach” fare onward, even though they had paid full first-class fare to begin with. Notice the pattern seen earlier in the railway cases- the blacks were offered less than they had already paid for, with white corporations or operatives pocketing the difference. Fitzgerald rejected this nonsense and later sued, and won a settlement of $7500, worth over $80,000 in 2020 dollars. (See Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance, by Mia Bay).

Nor was “aerial Jim Crow” the fate of only Black Americans. One negro diplomat from Haiti, was invited by the US government to help vote in favor of US interests in a UN show of solidarity against the Soviets. He found that his “reward” upon arrival on US soil was a cold sandwich in wax paper, on a folding chair in a noisy airline hangar, while white passengers strolled onward into comfortable restaurant accommodations and toilet facilities. Eisenhower’s Sec. of State Dean Rusk noted the incident, and the irony of the US asking the black man for a vote in favor of the US on a human rights issue. Rusk believed that incidents like this were "a severe barrier to cordial relations with many foreign states." (See Mary Dudziak, 2000. Cold War Civil Rights). The incident received wide play in the negro press. But heey! “Race” wasn’t involved, only “class.”

Apparently for Roberts “original jurisprudence” would involve legal segregation.. And he says that today’s judges are “holding down white people” Apparently this includes over 30 years of conservative judges that delivered negative rulings on affirmative action, EEOC enforcement, voting rights and criminal justice bias cases.

“Fewer and fewer judges believe that their function is to uphold the Constitution based on history and precedent or “original intent.” Instead, they have been taught that the role of the judiciary is to advance equitable goals, and equitable goals are their honors’ preferences. Their honors’ preferences are clear. .. the white race must be held down so that blacks can advance.”

Really now? Cue another round of head-scratching (and laughter) by intelligent black and white folk.. Would these be the same judges that majority-ruled in favor of Bakke, or Fisher or even if allowing AA restricted it to a narrow band via "strict scrutiny" rules? Would these be the same judges that gutted contract set-asides in the Adarand and Croson cases? Would these be the same judges that hindered EEOC enforcement in conjunction with changes by the Reagan regime, so much so that it took an act of Congress in 1991 (The Civil Rights Restoration Act) to restore some balance? Would these be the same judges gutting the Voting Rights Act, and making it harder for blacks to get redress against discrimination in the criminal justice system?

Ironically, the Louisville Lip had an Irish great grandfather..

If critical race critic Paul Craig Roberts is to be believed, whites are the "Real" victims. Elsewhere he laments how unfair it is for black people to be hired as cops, and asserts that unneeded "affirmative action" is the cause. Let's look at that:

Far from a vale of tears, the record shows that whites continually blockaded so called "affirmative action" measures using administrative manipulation, subterfuge, stalling, and brute force legal struggle. Scholarly histories, (such as W. Marvin Dulaney's 1996 "Black Police in America") show the dismal landscape confronting blacks and expose the hollowness of white clams about how "meritorious" they are or have been.

In numerous police departments for example, whites rigged the game for decades, particularly white ethnic groups like the Irish, who used police jobs as sinecures and rewards, hiring friends, friends of friends, relatives and cronies in a cozy system of white privilege. Blacks experienced extensive discrimination. Applicants were diverted or denied. Written tests that blacks passed were routinely ignored to favor white candidates, At times more difficult tests were given to minority candidates. Those that did manage to hop initial hurdles were routinely found themselves described as "nig..." by fellow officers. Black policemen were given the worse assignments, and often exclusively assigned to the worse "nig.." areas. Black officers with years on the job were sometimes denied promotion in favor of less qualified whites. In some departments certain police ranks were closed to blacks- only whites got promoted to them. Blacks had to file lawsuits to force departments to open up those "reserved" ranks, as in the case of Leslie Shaw, the first black police sergeant in Columbus Ohio.

Some of the above conditions described prevailed not merely in hostile Southern jurisdiction but in "liberal" northern ones, such as in San Francisco into the 1970s. In San Francisco as elsewhere whites waged and continue to wage deep bureaucratic warfare against "Affirmative action." When a 1970s lawsuit exposed racist practices for example, whites issued a new civil service eligibility promotion list, creating a huge batch of white captains, a supposedly "non-racial" move, that by design or final result, clogged the promotional pipeline to that rank for years and under senority arrangements, virtually eliminated black candidates. See these and other warfare measures show that far from a vast "swamping" of whites with "affirmative action" said AA has been from its very outset, severely limited and fought on every hand, contradicting the white propaganda narrative of mass "suffering" due to "quotas for blacks." See also Sanders and Cohen, 2013, The Zebra Murders in San Francisco below: QUOTE:

"In 1973, only one man who wasn’t Irish had a rank of captain or higher in the SFPD: Charlie Barca. Barca was Italian, and as captain of inspectors he oversaw all the inspector bureaus, including Homicide. But that was it. Barca was the only member of the department’s top brass who wasn’t Irish American... From the moment the suit was filed, it caused a huge backlash among the largely Irish and entirely white old-boy network that controlled the SFPD. .. But the reaction that unnerved Sanders and Gilford the most was the personal backlash from fellow officers, whose rancor and bigotry turned to hate .. The reaction to the ruling underscored what Sanders had known implicitly the moment he entered the SFPD: the white Irish old-boys’ network ran the department with two sets of rules. White cops lived by one, but imposed another on black cops. The rules weren’t written; they were understood. As blacks lobbied for more power in the department, this double standard became more starker than ever.

One of the SFPD’s most deceitful ploys was their attempt to pad the number of minority officers on their rolls, which they did by fabricating ethnic backgrounds for some cops. In the department’s initial count of minorities, prior to the preliminary ruling, there were only three Native Americans on the force. As the appeals process began, that number somehow swelled to sixty-three..... So Gnaizda told Peckham that he wanted the EEOC to serve as arbiter and have the ["Native American"] officers in question appear before the EEOC and affirm that they were, in fact, Native American. Peckham agreed, with the stipulation that not coming in would be a tacit admission that the officer was not Native American. Out of the mythical sixty-three, only nine showed up at the EEOC...

Yet as skillful as the OFJ’s defense was, Gnaizda and Hastie could not halt the city’s Civil Service Commission from circumventing everything they had gained in court. One of the most important parts of the lawsuit, and one that could ultimately have the most wide-ranging impact on police departments across the country, was the assertion that the whole promotion process was slanted against minorities. When it came to changing the SFPD, promotions were the ultimate battleground...

Although the exams gave the promotion process a veneer of fairness, the truth was just the opposite. Eventually it was proven that some of the tests given to minorities were statistically more difficult than those given to whites. More important than the tests, though, was the issue of seniority, and the way it was played to determine who was on track to become part of the brass.

At the time of the OFJ lawsuit, no black officer had yet achieved the seniority to become eligible to take the lieutenant’s exam. In fact, under the current system, it would be years before any black could take the exam and years more before any might be promoted to lieutenant. Moreover, in a classic instance of catch-22, no blacks could even begin the process of becoming eligible for the captain’s exam until they had already made lieutenant. And the obstacles didn’t end there. Promotions occurred only when there were openings, which were filled from a list of those who had passed the exams most recently in chronological order. So even if a black did pass the lieutenant’s exam, he would have to wait for every single white officer ahead of him to make lieutenant before he even had a shot.

Gnaizda surmised that if the system in place at the time of the lawsuit were allowed to remain, it would be over twenty-five years before an African American could make captain, meaning that no matter what the lawsuit achieved with respect to recruits, the ruling clique of the SFPD would remain white for at least another generation.

Knowing this, Gnaizda and Hastie tried to persuade the judge to enjoin the Civil Service Commission from making any promotions until the courts could decide the issue. Peckham, however, ignored their pleas, and the commission was permitted to forge ahead and fill the ranks of lieutenant and captain for years to come, enabling the all-white men’s club that ruled the department to retain the upper hand."

The reader is thus left scratching his head. Where are these awesome “oppressive” judges? Where is this putative swamping of institutions and defenseless white folk due to "AA quotas"? In Disney’s Fantasia? Apparently Fantasia seems to be the source of an assortment of right-wing and libertarian "knowledge" on such issues. But stay tuned..

"troubled youth..."

Misc data:

Data from New York and Minnesota show that blacks stopped had LESS weapons or contraband on them than whites, yet blacks were disproportionately stopped, searched and experienced more use of police force against them.

Data from the city of Minneapolis itself. The blacks were stopped almost 3 times the rate of whites, and were in higher crime hoods, yet whites stops yielded MORE contraband than blacks or Latinos..

Data on extremist murders of US police officers

Most murders of law enforcement by domestic extremists are by white right-wing groups
