Lots of definitions of racism...most folks make up their own and there is much confusion about it.
I think most people black and white prefer to be around their own kind for the most part....though ghetto blacks would of course prefer to live in a white neighborhood ....not because they want to be around whites but because there is so much crime in the ghetto.
I think it only natural that people want to take care of their own as in whites generally speaking want the best for all whites and do not care for all the promotion given to blacks by the government and the media based on myths and downright lies.
Though they do not want to see blacks mistreated.....they thiink and believe that all should be equal before the law.
I remember back in the military (the military led the way in integration) that iin the mess hall most blacks would sit together. No one saw anything peculiar about it.
Unfortunately....race relations are only getting worse....and sometimes it seems the media actually wants a race war....that is what they are promoting whether they realize it or not.
Abraham Lincoln had it right all those years ago....just too many differences betweeen blacks and whites for them ever to live together in a peaceful, equitable and harmonious manner.
That is what motivated him to try and start a program to send the blacks back to their native land.
Anyhow.....when all is said and done I see no possible solution for the racial situation in America...it will only get worse.
Politicians do not even attempt to deal with it because they know they cannot do so without being labeled racist.
The most that can be hoped for is for us to remain a nation of laws and do our best to enforce the law in a fair and equitable manner.
Which of course means that our penal institutions will grow and grow....to the point where I see that the group from which most of these inmates come will rise up and demand it be stopped....which would mean a total break down of law and order.
There can be no remission of sin without the shedding of blood....that is our future.
Pity those with children.
