Don’t straw man, your premise is posters have a agenda to keep the city black or worry about the percentage drop of black Americans. The strange thing is basically your mainly arguing with white posters that they have a agenda or worry to keep the city black.

And I’m pretty sure the klan was mad blacks gain civil rights, now what do that has to do with most white people? Nothing! So what's the point of someone referencing that? Nothing! Yes there are racist blacks, now what that got to do with most blacks? Nothing! If a black person keep talking about racist whites out of place to non race whites, that black dude is going to look hell of racist. Now if a white person keep talking about racist blacks out of place to non racist blacks, that white dude is going to look hell of racist. YOU ALWAYS COME AND RACE BAIT IT”S (annoying!!!)
understand or do I have break it down?

Now I don’t care if Atlanta remain majority black or not but if you keep reminding me of the blacks that do, I'm going to take it as your just as racist as them. Go argue with them. I Don’t think you understand your not being call a racist because you have a irrational hate as a klans man does. But because you’re a reverse racist. It’s like you search for black racist then complain about them as if the rest of the world want to hear. I know there racist blacks who worry about the city remaining black, but that like me saying there racist whites who hate the president is black. Duh! There always going to be racist ignore them! And stop falsely accusing non racist blacks as racists that’s also annoying.

WTF, Fail! First off Italian is a ethnic group or nationality, black is race. So to make the comparison you would have to say broadly “white” see the error.
understand?

Dude black Americans haven’t been to African in over 300 years toooooo many generations. Then non of the African states that are ancestors came from still exist. African is the second largest continent it’s not a small country we don’t even know where are ancestors even from. African Americans have nothing to do with the creation of the political climate in African nation, there’s no ties, Are Ancestors didn’t create Nigeria! Or any other African nation. Then for the last time African Americans are known not to get along with black Africans. There’s too much beef between black Americans and black Africans what do you not understand. Yes culture matter the ideal of the mother country itself is base on heritage and culture. Focusing on African countries isn’t going to preserve anything for Black Americans. Again "Black" is the race of people not a damn ethnic group or nationality. Dude stop.

You are foolish think the Hispanic-dominated America of 2050 will be as benevolent in terms of race relations as the white America of 2008. The president in 2050 will be Hispanic, and a Hispanic will be elected 2052, 2056, 2060, 2064, and so on.
It really is funny how most blacks seem to think the Hispanics are not going to play the same racial power politics that the blacks have played in every situation where they became the majority (see City of Atlanta; Zimbabwe; South Africa; Detroit). But, Hispanics are more likely to align with whites when they seize power.....just look at Miami where the high-end Hispanics (1960s Cubans and their descendents) have taken political power. Those Hispanics are actually primarily of white European descent and probably handed George Bush the contested election. It will get interesting and I will also be working on my Spanish.....

Sounds like just the kind of country we need to strengthen ties with....what kind and loving people we have in Nigeria, as BayArea-Girl would say.........

Do you know anything about demographics? Well, for one thing, it's destiny. Germany will be majority Muslim by 2050. So much for the "civilized" views of that dying country.
2050? I'll be pushing up daisies then. Hope you guys can all work out your differences by then and make this a better world.

Hopefully, I would've just entered retirement--and then would be spendin' my days sittin' on the front porch with my initial grandbabies--tellin' them "No!" and "Stop that!"


...Interspersed with lots of travel and local political/civic/community duties, of course.

And I will hopefully be doing the same with my Latina wives.
