The usual way to remove inferior races from public spaces is to price them out. Municipal and regional governments are the guiding hand, through their planning departments. The \u201cgentrification\u201d process is done overtly through tight by-laws, licencing, and commercial regulation, all arranged on the Clintonian principle of \u201cpay to play.\u201d This makes the respectable zones too expensive for the lesser breeds, and assists in the development of their underclass-consciousness.<\/p>\n

On the other side, more subtly at first, it is done by such as public housing projects, which remove the poor to a greater distance from respectable neighbourhoods, and confine them in camps, where their criminality and poor table manners can be offensive only to themselves. They become, by increments, wards of the state \u2014 and may be easily manipulated to provide voting blocks for the \u201cprogressive\u201d parties, on whom they now depend for their rent, food stamps, and modest cash doles.<\/p>\n

Compulsory attendance in state schools seals the bargain, by which the young of the underclass species are indoctrinated and trained to know their place in the social and political order. They can see that they are victims of \u201cdiscrimination\u201d; their resentments can be shaped in the interest of the governing liberal elites, and directed instead at people who have no idea what they are yammering and rioting about.<\/p>\n

Who do not see that the poor have been \u201cunpersoned.\u201d And that, having little to lose, they are now playing the unpersonable part.<\/p>\n

The superior races principally benefit from this system of apartheid, in which the unwashed are kept out of view, except through the selective camera angles of the media voyeurs. Without this isolation, the liberals\u2019 smugness would be hard to maintain, and their commitment to various hygienic and environmental causes would suffer. They, for their part, are taught in their much better appointed government schools that the welfare-state redistribution of income exists to promote \u201cequality\u201d; when in fact it exists to promote the division of society into manageable cells, walled both visibly and invisibly to prevent the respective inmates from mixing and meeting. Now, even if they see, they cannot smell each other.<\/p>\n
