    The revolting combination of liberalism and race politics, that's what I am against. Ideas such as using government to redistribute until people with black skin have the same amount of money as people with white skin. Policies that create such things as hate speech, hate crimes, diversity, affirmative action, and promote one race living off another.

    I am aganist class warfare in general, but race warfare is whole new level.

    I am for trying to create a society with abundant opportunity for all, yet acceptance of unequal outcomes if people cannot, or will not, produce their share.

  2. Just like a liberal:always looking to steal someone else's property, just so they can piss it away.:D :D :D

  3. Having 36 million Thomas Sowell's in the US (instead of what we got) would cure all our fiscal & political problems.

  4. Many cities have a Greektown, a Poletown, a Chinatown or a little Italy. People go there to eat, shop and check out the culture.

    Where and what is the black community in our cities? MLK blvd should be a cultural street, filled with black shop owners, restaurants, maybe a club. Where are the soul food restaurants?

  5. Are you from like Sweden or something?

    MLK blvd, ave or whatever I promise you IS representative of the black community and their contributions to society.

  6. Policies in place scarcely threaten to level wealth between blacks and whites. At least any whites I am familiar with.

    I can accept arguments opposing numerical goals of diversity ad affrimative action but I am a a little boggled at lumping hate speech and crimes with them.

    I've said that very thing not that long ago. Imagine there had been no war, no reconstruction, no KKK, no animosity between N and S, which lingers to this day. And of course had the slaves been relocated...

  8. The technology was in it's infancy. But, you have to also believe the Civil War was fought over slavery, which was not the primary reason. Why would hundreds of thousands of poor Southern soldiers who never owned slaves fight for slavery?

    Exactly, something else I've argued before. The history revisionists and bleeding hearts don't want to hear it though.

    The effectiveness of the policy differs from the intent, and the intention I can assure you is to level outcomes. The attempts will get more and more draconian until white people, all of them, put a stop to it. In the end though, I agree, it will never work barring an all out dictatorship.


    Hate speech etc. are part of that stalin-like package of control they seek because they think they know better than I. I want all of it gone
