I won't even bother with that poster - who is on bozo filter setting.

All the people, regardless of "race", who believe in forced associations at gunpoint can go to hell. I stand with those who stand with freedom.
Freedom of association, freedom to defend against and criticize those who scapegoat you, freedom to compete on a fair and level playing field, private property rights. Those are just some related things that are the tip of the iceberg of things leftist want to take away.

This is how I sum up the obsession over what Black people do. Blacks, relative to other groups, are very looked down on. There are some people who would be happy if Blacks went away.

We are here to stay. One cannot simply use black labor and then kick blacks to the curb. It doesn't work like this. I think some [not all] whites are just pissed off that we are not in the 1940s anymore.

If they went to Iceland or Greenland and managed to developed anything of value, outsider would want to come in and muck it up and take that over too.
You mean like whenever blacks acquired too much wealth, white supremacists would literally burn the communities to the ground?

We're citizens of this country. No one has a right to throw people like you and me out. I am not going anywhere unless I choose to do so. That will be a decision I make. There are some Whites who wish the 1940s America would return. Some. Thankfully, it isn't the majority. But it isn't only Whites that are looking down on Black Americans. I've met Hispanic persons and African immigrants who have expressed a disdain for American Blacks. I met a woman from the West Indies, Afro-Caribbean. Her parents told her not to date Black American men. This obsession/looking down on Black Americans isn't limited to Whites.

I think I've got it! White supremacists just like being the center of attention in everything and can't bare not being the primary focus. THAT is why they get so angry when blacks ignore them. They can't stand us but when we decide to ignore the hatred and just do us, they feel offended, they feel excluded (hence the self-segregation accusations), they feel like "how dare you not bow down to me!". I get it! I actually get it!

Oh believe me I know, many minorities look down on black Americans as if it's going to get them brownie points or a get out of jail free card. It's always funny when they get that wake up call.
