How about this...people can go do that. They don't have to pay any taxes, but they don't get the support of the nation either. They can have their own, kind of, reservations.

However, it's pretty likely that not everyone in the town will agree to their conditions, so they can't just take over the area they're currently at. They have to move to some rathole in the desert somewhere.

Yes, those sickened and disgusted will not be satisfied until deportation to the rathole in the desert somewhere takes place. Too bad, this race problem between the "poisoned" blacks and whites began with a bad idea and nothing will fix it.

I'd rather not have people deported for their opinions. I just don't want them annexing my town and insisting I can't buy foods anymore without driving 20 miles away because I'm not a Hindu or whatever.

I think both sides are at fault tbh.

Black people should not be accentuating racial divides at every opportunity, looking to classify their own identify foremost as separate and apart from other Americans. But that's mostly looking toward the future.

I think whites do need to be more honest in participating in the conversation blacks have attempted to start around why most blacks find themselves in disproportionately disadvantaged circumstances today and the extent to which historical disadvantages can be the reasons for that. This triggers a lot of white people really bad and they think that conversation is immediately going to end with reparations or some form of economic redistribution. In some cases it may mean just more understanding and a different approach needed toward how people treat each other, as in the case with policing.

But I don't think she did that. What I thought she was doing was complaining about how the structure of our government harms her race.

This thread wreaks of troll. Click bait. Hell, racism knows no party line and no age. Whites on both sides are complicit in the continuation of racial bias, racism, and discrimination. Simple as that. If there were a WAR effort for the eradication of those three evils, then we wouldn't be talking about how blacks, in every disaster, whether natural or man-made, always get impacted worse than whites.

This isn't a discussion about Hindus (although Hindus are definitely more white than black). It's about blacks and US/European whites. Blacks are not fearful and hateful, we are just not compatible with anyone else's culture, spirit, mind, body, preferences, etc. What one person sees as "poisoned" is actually failing to accept the mistake of importation of blacks to the US and other white societies followed by forced integration. The consequences of that mistake has been ongoing conflict between the two races and will continue that way for those who are "sickened and disgusted" until blacks and whites are separated for good.

I have a pretty narrow view of racism. To me, for an attitude to be racist it has to be intentional. It has to involve a kind intentional hostility and desire to cause harm to someone because of their race. Instinct isn't enough.

I like that system because it forms a nice clean divide between the KKK members and people with social anxiety disorder who haven't talked to many Mexicans before.

However, there are other issues that relate to race that I wouldn't describe as having much, if anything, to do with actual racism. Martin Luther King, of course, didn't just long for the end of the type of racism I'm opposed to. He also was a socialist...and some are always going to perceive economics as part of those important race-related issues...and ordinarily the validity of that is harder to see, but now we're seeing those economic issues result in black people being hit much harder than other groups, likely because of economic problems.

So we can't just solve the problems by declaring war on bigotry and racism in general. That's because one person's racism is another person's equality in which everyone is treated equally, and vice-versa.

Wow. Interesting. I’m a white guy, but I’d seen more forced non-integration over the last few hundred years. Your attitude towards us sounds pretty consistent with a communal chip on your shoulder because of that.

Blacks who immigrate willingly don’t show many signs of some inexorable incompatibility.
