First, I've never said I wanted segregation. Many black people would suffer without the aid of white people. It would not be fair to the black people
that strive and work daily to better themselves and their families.
What of the white people who would suffer without the aid of other ethnicities? I'm sure that there were many plantation owners that owed everything
they had to the slaves that 'kept' them.
Second, where, besides your ass, did you get the suppression nonsense from? Nowhere did I say the people in the social experiment would live
by different standards. That's ludicrous and ignorant of you to suggest I said that.
All four groups would need to be segregated from each other. Otherwise the 'experiment' would not work. To some extent, you would have to also
segregate them from the outside world as well, or it would bias the result. The fact that some people don't see such an obvious thing might be part of
the 'race' issue, eh?
Third, you don't get rid of racism. You teach people not to live life by letting their feelings and emotions control them.
No, you do it by treating all people, as people, who have a variety of talents and faults, but are just individuals. They aren't representative of
everyone else with some superficially similar appearance. And you realize that by classifying them by appearance, you are being racist.
And I agree, racism cannot defeat racism, which is exactly what the Left has been doing since POTUS 44.
And the right-wing has too.
And if you randomly chose participants for each city, yes results may vary. But it would be a minute variance overall.
Once again, I do not think segregation is the answer. It was a BLACK FEMALE on TV that suggested it.
And Stephen Crowder has vids of black college kids saying they think segregation would be a good thing.
MSM pundits and various talking heads have suggested the same, even going as far as calling for the removal of white people.
Where's your outrage on that?
The USA is not morally superior to any other country by any means. We are all tarred by the same brush. Racism is a problem that all humanity has. A
hearkening back to an us-and-them tribalism.
The way you combat racism is not expecting someone else to fix it.
We all have it in us. We all must make an attempt to fight the ancient drives, and the false opinion that we, and ours are, and should be,
superior.
I want you to think about how all this makes you more significant, not less. A body isn’t just a single part blown up into something huge. It’s
all the different-but-similar parts arranged and functioning together. If Foot said, “I’m not elegant like Hand, embellished with rings; I guess I
don’t belong to this body,” would that make it so? If Ear said, “I’m not beautiful like Eye, transparent and expressive; I don’t deserve a
place on the head,” would you want to remove it from the body? If the body was all eye, how could it hear? If all ear, how could it smell? As it is,
we see that God has carefully placed each part of the body right where he wanted it.
But I also want you to think about how this keeps your significance from getting blown up into self-importance. For no matter how significant you are,
it is only because of what you are a part of. An enormous eye or a gigantic hand wouldn’t be a body, but a monster. What we have is one body with
many parts, each its proper size and in its proper place. No part is important on its own. Can you imagine Eye telling Hand, “Get lost; I don’t
need you”? Or, Head telling Foot, “You’re fired; your job has been phased out”? As a matter of fact, in practice it works the other way—the
“lower” the part, the more basic, and therefore necessary. You can live without an eye, for instance, but not without a stomach. When it’s a
part of your own body you are concerned with, it makes no difference whether the part is visible or clothed, higher or lower. You give it dignity and
honor just as it is, without comparisons. If anything, you have more concern for the lower parts than the higher. If you had to choose, wouldn’t you
prefer good digestion to full-bodied hair? - 1 Corinthians 12:14-24 'The Message' version.
