I think that a distrust of the Separation is probably also behind my dislike of racial politics in Britain, particularly England, at present (Others might argue that I mislike anything which threatens my position as an establishment-oriented WASP*, except that I'm not**). A degree of Separation is necessary to the survival of each of us, and of each group. When black minorities argued against racial barriers, they were on strong ground: while each of us carries around a degree of race, class, culture and sex awareness, we must be careful how we let them affect our actions. (To argue that none of them should affect our actions at all argues for the collapse of society, and is fantastic.)

When black minority leaders try to create racial groups and barriers in the name of minority rights, I distrust and detest them. My detestation may be stronger than it should be, but it springs I think from distrust of their motives, speeches and actions. The qualities (of the sixteen available) which seem to apply to many of the black political leaders are complication, distraction and fragmentation.

But how does it seem from within their communities? Evidence suggests that they rule by patronage, bullying and fear, along with the hard left movements who generally support them: attraction, ordination and outer action.

In support of this, it seems likely that a community whose unity was supported primarily by Love and Harmony would live peacefully within itself and with its neighbours and superior levels of authority; and, in a democracy, should be able to achieve its just expectations through peaceful action: as, by and large, have all previous waves of immigrants over the previous few centuries, [and] women***, the poor***, and Asian immigrants, so far.

This is, of course, greatly oversimplified; but there is cause for concern that black politicians are exploiting both their own and the wider community by the use of the methods of extreme Separation, which, basically, means evil and misery.
