For those who wish to read my Hubs, I would like to point out three things. First, my Hubs are not intended to create "fans" ... or to generate income. I am simply purging some thoughts on an issue which I find to be one of the most fascinating things ever witnessed in human history, akin, in my opinion anyways, to the eighth wonder of the world.  I am referring to the plea, which ultimately became a demand, on the part of the black race in America from 1865 to 1968  to "integrate" with the white race. All of human history suggests a male group (males racially, linguistically and religiously similar)  when forced under the hegemony of another male group ... always desires separation, so as to establish, or maintain, their own identity; and also empowerment over the lives of their people (e.g. Mormons, Amish, American Indians).  Again, this was a norm established throughout human history. In America, however, this did not happen with the black race. My Hubs related to integration (and almost all will be related to integration) seek to explain why this phenomenon occurred.

Second, in many of my Hubs related to the chronology of Integration there will be italicized commentary. This commentary is intended to reflect the prevailing attitudes and opinions that existed at the time which the event (s) took place. Attitudes, we should all be aware today, have over the last 45 years changed considerably regarding integration.

Third, The Dominant Male Group (DMG) Theorem does, and is intended to, deny to the black man a 'wrong' was being committed against him from 1865 to 1964 by white males (the DMG), because the white males, generally speaking, would not commit to race-nullification and gift to him integration rights. Societies throughout human history had a very descernable and aslo very congruent structure to them, and American society prior to 1964 had been completely consistent with that historical structure. While I am fully aware today that history has been completely rewritten, inferring integration not received was a great wrong, yet, the true reality here is that no laws were being broken by white people where they demanded racial separation (hence, the necessity to “create” integration with the federal integration laws in ‘64, ‘65 and ‘68).  Viewing historical events in the context of the time in which they occurred, I believe, again, is the correct approach here.

So please, defenders of the current faith, do not post mean-spirited comments thinking I am attempting to proselytize people back to the “old ways." My intent here is only to point out what was, and what replaced what was.  Putting it another way, I am simply pointing out it was the end of ONE system (a system dominated by the traditional DMG Theorem) and the launching of another (Compulsory Inclusionism).
