It's hard to remain objective here, but the pages of history have been written:
"As soon as it is admitted that the whites and the emancipated blacks are placed upon the same territory in the situation of two alien communities, it will readily be understood that there are but two alternatives for the future; the negroes and the whites must either wholly part or wholly mingle. I have already expressed the conviction which I entertain as to the latter event. I do not imagine that the white and black races will ever live in any country upon an equal footing." Abraham Lincoln
Every time a civilization begins mixing cultures, races, religions, etc. that civilization collapses. The passing of Killen is maybe just an opportunity to revisit a painful truth.
Nonsense. We've been mixing here in America for centuries. And it's not causing any problem. We could use more mixing and less black neighborhoods and white neighborhoods.
You said Every time a civilization begins mixing cultures, races, religions, etc. that civilization collapses.
This is bullshit. Here in Metro Detroit we have a problem because blacks in our inner cities are cut off from economic opportunity. The blacks who come out here to the suburbs and assimilate do just fine. It's the blacks who refuse to live near/talk/friend/date/ whites who have the problems. And the whites who move when the blacks move in are the problem.
Right now blacks should make up about 15% of every community. They'd be doing find if they came and mingled with us. Sent their kids to the same schools as our kids. Stopped talking eubonics with blacks. Have their friends fathers get them their first job.
You get the point. And the small percentage of white racists who don't like it that a couple blacks moved into the neighborhood will just have to get used to it.
Oh, and in Mississippi Burning I noticed at the Klan rallies they were telling the listeners in attendance how liberals from up north want to impose their commy ways on them and turn their communities into places like Chicago. Boy, you guys have been using Chicago as a punching bag for a long time now. And I hear USMB Republicans using the same arguments the Klan used. Interesting.
That's a hoot. You've focused on the blacks, but not the plight of the whites. You don't mention the subtle, but real genocide of the entire race. Maybe that is what Killen feared. He did the wrong things for the right reason.
Who gives a **** what color your great grand kids are? Us Greeks do the same thing. We try to get our kids to marry other Greeks. I get it. But honestly, who cares if one of my nephews marries a black person? Will I love their child any less? **** no.
And if Mexicans become 30% of our population and blacks 30% and whites only 40%, so ******* what? Do you really care if in 200 years whites still have all the money? I don't in fact it would be nice to know that sometime in the future we made things more fair for minorities. Maybe they wouldn't act like 2nd class citizens if we didn't treat them like 2nd class citizens.
And I remember when I was a kid you whites didn't like us Greeks. But today I'm white too. All you had to do was get over my long greek last name.
If it weren't for the **** word, it appears that you wouldn't have much of a vocabulary. Let's be brutally honest and blunt here:
Liberals tell me that race is a social construct. Then if you get a conversation going about sex, black dudes will tell you how long their scholng is. Ah yes, then they claim there is some inherent racial difference. So, sealy, what do you think? So, if one race has an advantage in that department (or do they??) then, what would be so evil if we found that some races have different attributes?
It must matter. We have a whole month set aside for Black History Month. On tv, the blacks want to crow. And all that crowing is about being the first black to do this, that or the other. And all those accomplishments were done in the United States. Didn't they ever accomplish anything outside of the United States? If not, how come? If they did accomplish something outside the United States of America and IF race is a social construct, why do we need an entire month for black people to celebrate their racial accomplishments? You shouldn't get any special recognition for stuff like that if race is a social construct. They get to be proud of their accomplishments. They get to have predominantly black colleges.
If all of this didn't make a difference, there would not be a push by extremist organizations to remove the statues, plaques and memorials from public places. The liberals would not be behind efforts to change the names of streets and schools so as to erase the white man's history. People wouldn't feign being offended by Confederate flags flying while the Japanese flag doesn't evoke any special feelings. How many Americans did the Japanese torture and kill during WWII? If race didn't matter, we wouldn't be all about changing the faces of our nation's currency. If it doesn't matter, how come we're going to change the faces of who is on our currency when that money could better be spent on finding a cure for the corona virus?
Only months after the Constitution was ratified, the first naturalization law was passed. It required all new citizens to be free white people of good character. Today, a host of countries are homogeneous. Japan claims that they are the most racially pure nation on the planet while North Korea, South Korea, and China are all over 98 percent ONE people. Zimbabwe is 99.7 percent black. Those countries have no whites, blacks, or Jews trying to run their country and making those countries a racial / cultural hodgepodge. What do you suppose is so different about the whites?
Cultural integrity does matter. Most people on this planet want their children and grandchildren to hold onto the cultural values. They want to pass down the values and experiences that made them who they are. Every human being has an innate desire to belong to a group. That's why you go to the mall and some t shirt or jersey that cost all of a dollar or two for the manufacturer to make is selling for fifty bucks at the mall. People want to be associated with a team. Kids join gangs because they want to belong. And a lot of us want to belong to a race because it is the race that builds any given civilization.
Science has people with DNA, forensics, etc. specialties that can look at a few pieces of bone and tell you what race a person was, what family they belonged to and give you a history of their people. Don't try to tell me it doesn't matter. It matters who you are. Muslims enter the United States with their extremist view that they either change you or kill you. Why is it so important to change people to their view? They know certain people, on the whole, won't do it. The overwhelming majority of whites won't change. It's important to them. In the real world, we are supposed to have tolerance for every race, creed, color, nationality, religion, political belief, sexual orientation, etc.
EXCEPT one. There is only
one group of people that have to buy the political horseshit that you want us to believe you're not supposed to believe. Every one else is entitled to their opinions on race, culture, etc. That
one people who are
FORCED to believe that they
must believe, on pain of death, that we should be one big melting pot - a one world, one race, one religion mythical utopia are the white people. If anyone out there wants to know why, that answer was provided in a 1630 sermon by John Winthrop on a ship called the Arbella as it sailed toward the new world that would become America:

Maybe Killen did the wrong thing for the right reasons after all.
