Segregation

I'm not a racist, I have friends who are (fill in the blank).
The funny thing about segregation is that it is a natural tendency.
Just look at every one's blog roll.
Most of the minority bloggers grew up in or acquired what is commonly considered a "White" lifestyle.
But why are so many on their blog rolls other people with similar racial and ethnic backgrounds?
Even when people don't know people, there is a tendency to self segregate.
So were Martin and others wrong in preaching the concept of integration?
Was Malcolm able to see a better method?
Is what we really wanted just the opportunity to integrate?
(And not integration itself.)
