This guy never ceases to amaze. He points the finger towards everyone except his crowd...

Yes, at one point in time the Democrats was infested by white racists (mostly southerners). Once a certain movement started many of these types fled for the hills (Republican Party), and poof, we have the political environment we have today...

BLM is fighting racism so it's classic that you are pointing them out as an organization that "propagates" racism.. If someone tells a lie over and over again, it never becomes true...

The difference between Latin America and the U.S.A./Canada is the degree of settlement by Europeans. Relatively few Spanish and Portuguese women went to Latin America, so settlement there was mostly limited to European men having babies with local women. Add in a lot African slaves and the area was very mixed from the start of colonization. The North American situation was totally different with the English, Dutch, German, Scandinavian, Irish, etc. bringing their own women and reestablishing their own societies in the New World.

Racial differences are the cause of racial strife. If we were actually all the same, then getting along wouldn't be an issue. This really shouldn't be a surprise to anyone with basic powers of observation.

weren't asians huddled up in the 1950's and sent to a 'concentration camp' at santa anita racetrack in arcadia, california?

i don't know what happened there, but why aren't asians chanting 'asian lives matter' ?

maybe they're too busy NOT committing crimes, NOT wearing their pants down and sitting in libraries reading books trying to get ahead.

You appear to be blind to current events. LEOs aren't indiscriminately killing unarmed Asians in nearly the same numbers and high profile... You not knowing why Asians aren't chanting appears to not be the only thing you don't know...

Exactly right! You agree than that diversity is actually a disaster?

I think having separate nation states for different groups of people is a good arrangement and the one most likely to produce peaceful relations. These states need not be closed to the larger world though, and having a small percentage of diverse peoples within a basically homogenous state can be a positive. Diversity is like spice in the soup. A little can make it taste better but too much and it will be inedible.

What?

White European people started racism in the USA.

What stupid question is this?

Also,KKK was started in or around 1865.

The BPP was started in the 1960's.

The Bpp was in response to the KKK although they were 100 years late.

Why should black people have to adapt to what whites want them to do?
