what type of things do "they" do to separate themselves from society?

Anyone of any race can find a million reasons to espouse a racial nationalist agenda, or why or how they feel threatened/marginalized/oppressed..... but it's a dead end pursued by radicalized dummies, and should never be given credence.
it is very doable if enough black people with financial resources get behind the idea. blacks already are the majority in many metropolitan areas in this region and also make up many of the elected officials. I think at the end of the day we still value our individuality too much to go along with this idea. plus many of us do not want to live in Alabama or Mississippi. I can hardly stand living in Virginia in the summertime.

Honestly? Do black nationalists really believe they're going to try to do what confederates failed to do 150 years ago? In the exact same area? And win?

You need more than the metropolitan areas to survive and build a nation. You need control of the countryside. Or else your metropolitan area starves and/or is cut off from resources. And country ass white folks still control all that.

As should be, no American should go along with the idea of balkanizing the nation.

I think those who often call for such things forget how much their prosperity is actually owed to being PART of the United States. For example, so much of the black middle class growth was through employment in US public sector jobs...a fact that was laid bare during the recession with massive cuts in public sector jobs hitting blacks particularly hard.

They are the black people version of the KKK. They espouse the exact same racial superiority and race-determinism theories that white racists do, only they substitute "black" for "white."They espouse racial hatred, religious bigotry and ignorance, and thankfully, are marginalized even by most black folks as the group of clowns that they are. They are frankly, black nationalist fascists... the Aryan nation with a tan. I like hedging my bets. If this integration slit don't ultimately work out.....then I like knowing that there is a group that is prepared for the alternative.....given the history of this country.






All you need to know about how smart they are is that they are is in rejection of Christianity as a "slaver" religion in favor of a DIFFERENT slaver religion!

I am sorry if you have placed inordinate amount of reverence and faith in such shady characters that swim in the bottom cess pool of society, but nobody is ever UPLIFTED by adopting bigoted ideology or separatism. NOBODY.
If they are the black version of the KKK....them show me their history of white lynchings! Show me any history where they assaulted whites period! Furthermore, was it not Newton who said that every action creates an equal and opposite reaction? In other words...if you push an object that it pushes back. In America, I am comforted by their existence. if SHTF, they are the only group prepared to survive in such a world. Same with the Rastafarians.

I know of few, if any, people or groups that I agree 100% of what they do or say.........the one thing that NOI does, better than any other group, is tell the truth about white folks.....which is really what ticks most white folks off.

Well.....I know how not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. Besides......I was born and raised in a racist America.....hence....I am use to cess pool......Hell...white folks would not have spent so much time being bigoted and separatist if such, as you say, never lifted anyone up. That is how America was lifted up......bigotry, thievery and slavery.

The NOI does not snatch white people from their homes and hang them on the nearest tree nor do they burn crosses in yards.

Liberia would be better for you than Ala or Miss IMHO. At least Liberia still has Jim Crow laws that DON'T allow white people to be citizens. LOL!

Mr Farrakhan needs to kill himself if he truly hates white people, he's part "white" and part "Jew" too.

My idea? Tell THAT to Black people who do marry OUT!

I prefer my "own kind" but; that's me. I DON'T have a problem with even a blonde hair blue eyed lady marrying a pitch black colored African dude if he treats her right and she treats him right.

It's 2014, not 1956, OK??

The underlying beliefs and sentiments of NOI and the KKK are the same. PURE HATRED. One is no better than the other.
