Voting rights today have little resemblance to the original thought.


We do belong in close proximity to one another. It makes for a more tolerant country. Besides, we have no choice. This is the world we live in and for the most part it works just fine.

In light of the prior quote that sought to generalize Black behavior, my question stands. At the least it would demand separation for workable democracy.

The first sentence is a baseless assertion when take on its own. The second is demonstrably unture, least of all as evidenced by Black riots that assert the contrary. Besides, "tolerance" is not its own virtue. There is plenty of evil in the world that should not be tolerated.

The assessment of how it works seems highly dependent on who one is, exactly. More specifically, it seems dependent on how much one gains or loses as a result.

I saw this exposed when my friend told me she took her young granddaughter shopping recently, and there was a group of blacks standing by the store. Her granddaughter didn’t want to get out of the car.
She cried, “They will hurt me!”

My friend and I had a long discussion about this. Both she and her daughter are democrats. Her young granddaughter has NEVER even noticed or commented on blacks before. Clearly she has seen images or videos on violent blacks lately. Later when asked by her mother, she said kids at school told her blacks hate and want to kill white people.

This is the same issue the Muslims are facing! Unless they stand-up and say so, those who do NOT fit or support the stereotype (repeatedly conveyed by 'the talking heads' on TV), get painted with the same brush!

When blacks do not stand-up and say, "We condemn the mindless looting, vandalism and arbitrary attacks on innocent people (of all colors) -- AND acknowledge that ALL lives matter and NOT all whites are a racist enemy," ... non-thinking people will believe what the media tells them to believe. (It works both ways!)

I have been making a case for segregation the whole time, have you not understood that much?

So black people are not going to condemn and you will see what the media feeds you. It is settled then. No solution for the future unless whites face facts.

Many don’t care what they lose when they aren’t capable of anything and know it. So they really don’t care about anything or anyone, not even how they live and die.

So if "that's how you are", you cannot then live in a civilized society. I'm okay with you destroying all the liberal cities and your neighborhoods- libs can live their dystopian dream.


Of course, your claim of being a "created" violent individual who does not value education or two parent families is utter nonsense and suggests you are an animal, devoid of free will. It is a cop out and excuse for laziness and a terrible culture. The actions of the last six weeks have simply reinforced and proven all the negative stereotypes- good job.


There are MANY, MANY blacks with the same "heritage" as you who are very successful. The big difference is that they are motivated and have recognized what it takes to succeed in society.


As long you cling to the excuse of some of your ancestors being slaves as the cause of your failures, you are doomed. YOU are the cause of your failures- no one else.


Ever wonder why MLK was successful and other black leaders failed? He was NON VIOLENT and called for blacks to adopt western values and personal responsibility. Not a fan of MLK personally (he was a cheating Tom Cat) but liked his approach and message. Your beliefs are those of continued serfdom and victimhood, not personal freedom.


Wake up- nobody likes a whining cry baby.

They will lose interest in protesting. Protests will still go on, but the people who matter most - voters - will not be there. Miscreants and impoverished people rarely vote.
You're dreaming. Nobody alive today has ever seen it happen. And we're hearing little, if any, desire for protesting to ever end.

I don’t want to be pulled out of my car. I’d like to go to work. Does that make me racist?

And I have proposed separation for the lower class but you still come up with nothing but assimilation.
