There is no doubt that Einstein, by some characteristic, would have belonged to a group the overwhelming number of whom score in the imbecile range. Integration, by contrast, is a state-mandated result. . . . The Civil Rights Act of 1964 clearly endorsed desegregation rather than integration. In the South, given the geographic, legal, and economic conditions, the reality was that desegregation meant integration. Hence it was wise for legislators to discuss the matter in such terms.
Mutual dependence is more than integration.
White integrationists never attempted mutual dependence, which helps to reveal why affirmative action grew to fill the vacuum. One further example of poor analysis and poor judgment concerns the example of Dr. Dale Lick, former president of Florida State University. This is an error both of fact and of reasoning. Further, his apology, along with a promise to institute a regime of multicultural sensitivity, secured for him the position at Florida State. In the Michigan State University search, when the issue resurfaced, Lick offered an explanation of little credit to a gentleman.
