    Did Pollcy ever respond to my claim that there are Supreme Court rulings that ended judicial oversight of desegregation, resulting in a slow down of integration? And it’s more complicated than just any law.

    I'm asking you you're the one that said laws are racist I want you to show me one clear example.

    If you can't do it which we both know you can't it's okay to just simply admit that you were wrong

    …So when I provided proof of my claim, you decide to ignore it?

    I believe that the radicalization can be boiled down to one thing and one thing only.

    White Christian nationalists are diminishing in numbers as a group. This makes them feel threatened, and in turn lash out. The more they feel diminished, the more they lash out. The more they try and rig elections to favor them. The more they rig laws to favor them.

    Our biggest problem are White Christian nationalists who are mostly Protestants.

    Lets hope they are in their death throes.
    They are the closest thing to islamic fascists in western culture...and they are the ones who most vociferously dénonce islamic fascists.

    Go back and read the question that I was asked and that I responded to that triggered your posts. As for self aggrandizing, that forum nic of yours says otherwise.

    No it doesn't -- you just like to pretend that your fantasies are reality .. and that Ad Hom Fallacy and name calling is a valid argument.

    Well one or the other or them is going to win. The nation is too diverse to sustain democracy.

    You have to be careful about estimating both the volume and strength of minorities -- especially the very violent ones!

    Consider: although the numbers vary greatly by time period and sourcing, it has been generally agreed that even at the height of its power, somewhat less than 10% of the German people (including those in 'the Ostmark' -- Austria) were actually members of the NSDAP!

    I am not sure they are diminishing in numbers. As the White population decreases in percentage of the population the more conservative they get. The White population may be smaller,but they are becoming more radical.

    We've made it for 89,809 days, unless you want to count the Civil War where we split into two democracies.

    Many left wing intellectuals believe the same thing. It is one of the pillars of wokeism.

    That’s what happens when you deride an entire race of people As being racist supremacists based on nothing more than the color of their skin. Eventually they get tired of the accusations and attacks and say well if I’m going to be treated like one anyway, I might as well get the benefit from it as well.

    I tried to tell y’all that’s what would happen. And it’s only going to get worse.

    Probably because all the progressive liberal ones are either not having children, or the women are hooking up with black men (in shorter term affairs that usually don't last, by the way, but sometimes the woman has child).
