dedicating-ruckus:scrawnyflannelman:elementarynationalism:the-golden-summer-rose:elementarynationalism:the-golden-summer-rose:elementarynationalism:They don’t show you these photos of the flip side of Little Rock where I come from.Nobody ever told me they sent in the 101st Airborne to march whites into school at the point of a bayonet.That’s because these kids were refusing to go to school so they wouldn’t have to be with black kids. Or their parents didn’t want their kids in class with black kidsThere I was thinking you shouldn’t end segregation using the Army to threaten to bayonet your own citizens but fuck me, right.I mean you shouldn’t HAVE to, right? Except that’s just how much white people in these situations HATED black people. And I don’t just mean the “I’m better than you” kind that are mainstream. I’m talking about the kind that treated black kids like they were a PLAGUE. The ones that were like “if I get too close I’m gonna get black diseases” only they didn’t say black.I’m not saying people should get this treatment but you cannot compare their unwarranted hatred getting them this kind of a result to the plights of African Americans who are still suffering bullshit like this to this day, who get shot in the streets from having a can of Skittles in their hoodie pocket and having the hood up because it’s cold out. I’m citing this incident because it was a CIVILIAN shooting from a distance when a kid was just walking home.It seems like you have a lot on your mind. I’ll be specific: What if they don’t move? Are you willing to sanction the bayoneting of white women for noncompliance with the state ideology of desegregation?I fail to see how forced integration is in any way superior to forced segregation. Either way, it’s state mandated association at the end of a gun. I agree that the morally superior option is not to force either.Unfortunately, left to themselves people empirically tend to mostly de facto segregate. And we can’t have that, it’s blasphemy against the dread god Equality. Thus….If you read the original articles describing the incident, it is clear that they are not “march[ing] whites into the school at the point of a bayonet”.When they first tried to send the black students to the school, a crowd of over 1,000 people gathered outside, and it was feared that they planned to mob the school, so the students were evacuated because the police presence was thought not to be sufficient to protect them in that event.The paratroopers were deployed afterwards, following orders to break up large crowds near the school, to prevent mob violence.Two people were injured by the soldiers: “One man, accidentally pricked by a bayonet, tried to wrest a rifle from a sergeant. The sergeant struck him on the head with the rifle butt, inflicting a minor scalp wound. Another man whose right arm was jabbed slightly by a leveled bayonet was subsequently arrested when he returned to the scene muttering threats.” -- source link
