do you think segregation should start again cause it seems like people hang around their own people?

Answer 1

Segregation hasn't gone away. It just got a face-lift. No one will ever say that segregation "should" come back, but too many people won't do diddly-squat to take advantage of the fact that segregation is supposed to be a thing of the past.

I am an African American and I don't hang exclusively around other African Americans. I am gay, but I don't hang around people who are exclusively gay. I am an American, but 85% of my friends are NOT American. So when I look around, and I see the country that exists around me, I see segregation in many different varieties, and often feel like a freak because I don't see people like myself--people who are confident enough in themselves to NOT surround themselves with ethnic, social, or political mirrors of themselves.

So yes, few people will ever say that segregation "should come back" but many, many more will voluntarily segregat themselves, simply because they're not interested in OTHER people...whoever or whatever the "Other" may be.

Answer 2

Segregation was forced. If someone chooses to hang around "their own people" they make that CHOICE. America is about having a choice and not forcing someone else ignorance on the masses.

Answer 3

No, people should not be forced into segregation. If people wants to hang with their own people, who care's? Let them. But no forced segregation.

Answer 4

Dude, segregation is still on. I live in Miami and the few white people here just get together with white people, hispanics with hispanics, and blacks with blacks. Except some of those white and hispanics that like rap and they think they are all gangsters and go with black people. There's segregation, but just everyone against everyone so nothing happens.

Answer 5

Because people tend to group by perceived races is one of the strongest reasons why we need integration.

This is an issue that is difficult to solve. It takes many generations to change such attitudes and behaviors.

When there is a common attitude among people the racial groups will not be as much of an issue.

Some parts of the USA have less racial groups than others as some areas have made more progress in true equality.

Answer 6

segregation was forced, not by choice. It was said that the "colored" were not people and not worthy. Hanging around with people who are like you is completely different! We have come along way and have a lot further to go....lets not go backwards!

Answer 7

There's a big difference between segregation and CHOOSING to hang out with who you want to.

Answer 8

Just because some people choose to hang out with others doesn't mean it should be required. Most women I know hang out with other women most of the time, but I'd hate to be told I could never speak to a man--my husband would be very upset.

Answer 9

Segregation had nothing to do with whom wanted to "hang out" with whom. It was a brutal instiution designed to efficiently deny the descendents of slavery fully citizen status within the United States. This was done through unequal distributions of resources in the realms of education, employment, housing and the the denial of voting rights. This was enforced through extreme violence and depraved barbarity.
When civil rights movement fought against segregation, they weren't fight for social integration, but against the insitution of racial apartheid. Black people had no desire to interact further with white people than was absolutely necessary. To reduce the fight for racial equality on the federal and state level, to a preference over whom you choose to get drunk with in college, is absolutely ignorant and appauling.
Seriously, you should sue your teachers and public school system for not bothering to teach American history on any reasonable level.

Answer 10

no! "segregation" is a mistake in any society! people "hang around their own people" because of the comfort, but i don't think that occurs all the time. diversity is good for society.
