Oh yeah, my Polish family came to New York in the early 20th century, but surely not only must my people accept responsibility for that, I personally owe them too. LOL While Poland abolished slavery in the 14th century, and remained virtually slave free ever since. Some African Americans went to Liberia to enslave Africans in the plantation method of slavery.
A gem ain't it - - - Updated - - - You benefit from white privilege which is a direct result of chattell slavery
No one seems to have given me a good or a reasonable response as to why peaceful segregation wouldn't work. Keeping various races among their own not only makes for common interaction with culturally like-minded people, but it also seems to be a great deterrent from friction between the races. How can one incite a racist encounter if they are spending most of their time among their own? I'm not saying that people won't encounter those of other races, but for the most part and for the majority of their time while living in America--they will feel most comfortable sharing life experiences with people they feel safe with. I would no more want to live in Harlem as a WHITE man then a black would want to live in Irish South Boston. Most of the message here is just plain common sense.
I've got a better idea. Just stop being racist! That would put an end to all racial conflict. How about that?
Ridiculous assertion! You see, segregating the races in of itself means that blacks and whites don't get to mix, and if they don't mix there is zero chance that the racists or the race baiters like an al sharpton or a jessie jackson or a BLM crowd member will have an opportunity to spew their hatred. Get it now?
No, blacks having an obscene crime rate is entitlement, you pointing out that they have an obscene crime rate is racist. I think that's how it works?
Macro micro. You know how it goes, on a macro definition whites would by far supersede any other crime average - - - Updated - - - You wish - - - Updated - - - It's a one horse race tho
Racism does play a factor in why Black crime rates are disproportionate however that's beside the point. The point is that if you want to end racial conflict the best way is to end racism. Race only has as much social importance as people give it. You don't need to segregate races if you end racism. The problem is racism not diversity itself. Neither plan is actually going to work because neither is feasible. But hypothetically if my idea were to work everyone would stop being racist at the same time.
Actually, whites ARE moving into Harlem, and black people are upset about it. We just can't do anything right I guess?
I understand Bill Clinton almost made his second home in Harlem. Think the blacks were upset with the appearance of that white guy in their hood?
Yeah, imagine that....someone here thinks that blacks can't be racist. What would one call al sharpton, obama or the rev farrakhan if not racists to the bone.
I think the moniker of 'Libhater' says just about everything one needs to know about a poster. They aren't interested really interested in discussing or debating issues reasonably. They're only interested in creating conflict. It's so obvious and pathetic.
What would happen if dumb Black jokes were aired on TV? I'm sure it wouldn't be tolerated. So, how come dumb Polak jokes are acceptable? Because Polish are White? Then maybe Blacks have Black privilege?
You do realize that dumb Black jokes (especially in cartoons) used to be aired on TV all the time right?
