~ Rushdoony Quoting From and Reading George Crocker's column,

Prejudice? Not at all. Why some of my best friends are liberals. I mean they talk liberalism. I mean I am invited to dinner parties at which charming people certify their own credentials as liberals. This is done by dropping into the conversations the stock cliches about ghettos and by going on record in favor of forced integration of public schools and residential areas. There was a gentleman sipping at cocktails munching on hors d'oeuvres as he expounded on the need to close the cultural gap. Integrated housing was the answer he thought. If different races live in the same block or apartment house they will observe how others deport themselves and all (indecipherable) will tend to disappear.

"You have a good idea there," I said. "Think of all the people who could benefit by watching you and your family deport yourself. What a shame that your home is tucked away in Hillsboro. Now, Bill, I nominate you to lead the way."

He glared at me as if I had struck a low blow.

There was the lady at my right at dinner who spent the entire salad course telling me about an article she had read. The author, a sociologist, had explained why defacto segregation in the schools must cease. In a mixed classroom the less bright children are stimulated by the bright ones but the latter are not slowed down at all. "The culturally deprived ones" (it was her term not mine) "acquire better habits while emulating the ones from better homes but the latter are not led into worse habits by associating every day with the farmer. Psychology has discovered this," she informed me.

"Yes ... yes," I said. "I am familiar with the theory."

She was chewing a piece of Belgian endive. My tone seemed to disconcert her.
The tempo of chewing decelerated.... then stopped. "Do you dispute it", she asked.

"Tell me", I replied, "don't you think the theory should be tested by the people who advocate them and not by people who don't believe in them?"

She put her fork down.

"Now I know what you're getting at. Yes, we do send our Son to a private school. We can afford it and -- well I don't say it because I am the Mother; the Pediatrician as said it from the first, -- our Son has a unusually quick mind and he should have special attention. And, well, we believe in integration and all that but ...."

"No need to explain," I told her. "The Kennedys never do. Nor the Roosevelts, the Scrantons, the Lindseys , nor a thousand other rich liberal clans I could name."

I was mistaken. Lindseys has been smoked out of the bushes. Last month, a heckler asked, "Why do you send your four children to private schools instead of New York public schools?" The Chairman quickly adjourned the meeting.

Last Sunday, Lindsey was ready when the question came on TV.

Because he is Mayor, he said, he wants his children to have the highest degree of privacy.

He neglected to mention that his children went to private schools before he was Mayor too.

The sociologists theory is being tested in this country but not on the children on the Lindseys or any of the wealthy liberals I know."

I don't believe the story he quotes from is true. The statements from the "liberals" are not liberal all; they are openly racist. The man assumes black people need to watch white people to learn to live properly; the woman assumes black kids are stupid and need white kids to help them become smarter. Those are liberals? No, those are paternalistic, conservative racists.
