The whole sub-thread was you complaining about racial separation in housing
I then pointed out that black self-segregation in college dormitories is not the issue to be solving if racial re-segregration is the problem as you claimed.
From there things went off the rails because some people want to ignore or are actually ignorant of white flight and redlining and their relative significance to housing patterns.
In a color-blind world if blacks decided they wanted to live around other blacks that would be morally equivalent to whites deciding they wanted to live around other whites, but it is ridiculous to assume that being black is the same as being white in the real world people have to live in.
Even this housing dorm case that got the white power types here all up in arms accepts white and latino residents on an equal basis. They will just know up front that this community (actually just a subset of housing units in a larger complex) will get a disproportionate share of black applicants interested in living near other blacks. Perhaps if a white power movement tried to set up a similar community for whites who need a safe space and they are denied they will have a legal case.
