I always discount articles that make assertions and then neglect to provide the example that makes their point, opting instead for terms like "effectively" or "virtually." It they have a point to make, as in any teaching moment, provide the example not what CNN provided--The move came after Scott Adams, the cartoonist behind “Dilbert,” effectively encouraged segregation in a shocking rant on YouTube. How about providing the link to the rant on YouTube that would have proved or disproved their smear.
Well, the reality is that there are many Blacks who WANT segregation. That's why they want 'No Whites Day' on campuses and segregated dormitories. It's why Black kids sit at the same tables in the school cafeteria, where whites/Asians are not welcome.
Most people, in fact, prefer to live near 'their own', whose culture they understand and whose reactions they can predict.
It used to be a goal of the Left to see the cultural coming together and homogenization of all mankind. It was/is not an ignoble aspiration.
But ... it requires that every national group rise to the same economic and cultural level, and share the same individualist values, including committment to the rule of law, as we have evolved in the West.
That takes many generations, if it happens at all. People can't jump over their own heads.
One of the tragedies of American Black people is that they are geographically dispersed over the whole United States. If they were concentrated into one area ... say, a big chunk of the American South .. they could consider separation, exercising the right to self-determination.
(This was a demand of the CPUSA in the 1930s for the 'Black Belt', a string of contingent counties in the South where there were Black majorities -- a mechanical application of a tactical demand that had been relevant in the Czarist Empire, and helped the Bolsheviks gain power there, but didn't have traction in the US.)
But coming events might result in a situation where this project actually became relevant. We might have the tragedy -- as did happen many times in Europe during the 20th Century -- of mass population transfer, not always voluntary.
Whatever is going to happen, the more patriots who have prepared for it, and more they have prepared, the better the outcome.
