Segregation is that which is forced upon an inferior by a superior. Separation is done voluntarily by two equals.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am an opponent of war and of war preparations and an opponent of universal military training and conscription; but entirely apart from that issue, I hold that segregation in any part of the body politic is an act of slavery and an act of war.
Segregation in the South is honest, open and aboveboard. Of the two systems, or styles of segregation, the Northern and the Southern, there is no doubt whatever in my mind which is the better.
America preaches integration and practices segregation.
Our political establishment refuses to use the word 'segregated.' They call the schools diverse, which means half black, half Hispanic, and maybe two white kids and three Asians. 'Diverse' has become a synonym for 'segregated.'
There is no scriptural basis for segregation.
Segregation now, segregation tomorrow and segregation forever!
Segregation, in a sense, helped create and maintain black solidarity.
Racial segregation in the South not only separated the races, but it separated the South from the rest of the country.
In the end no segregationist scheme has withstood the force of a simple idea: equality under law.
I draw the line in the dust and toss the gauntlet before the feet of tyranny, and I say segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever.
