I'm not for any policy that promotes "forced togetherness" and never have been.
But that's exactly what the "civil rights" laws ARE. You CANNOT choose not to hire a black person based on his being black -- it's ILLEGAL.
You have two arguments here, it involves whether or not equal opportunity is a constitutional civil rights. You have people on one side that believe that it is a protected right on the other side you have people that believe it is not. The question here is do people have a right to have a job if they qualify for the job in question. This argument transcends race completely it goes into gender, sexual orientation, attractiveness, cleanliness. The general rule that I personally follow when it comes to this is that if a person's appearance does not serve as serious distraction to the workplace and it cannot be proven that the problem in question does not significantly hinder the output of the company, then yes that individual has an equal right to opportunity.
There are other arguments, those of which I do believe have some merit, which suggest that further regulation (equal opportunity laws) of businesses causes more problems then they solve. Those who push this argument believe that businesses are more interested in hiring those who are best for the job, and the best way to fight discrimination if it may be happening is to inform the public and allow them to take their business elsewhere if they are offended by the business' hiring practices.
Personally I fall somewhere in the middle. I think basic civil (constitutional) rights must be afforded to all citizens equally, meaning I think the main focus of the civil rights movement should have been voting rights (which was a success) and the disparities in the criminal justice system (not so much). I think if those rights are protected equally accross the board the markets can handle themselves, or really I lean towards this idea.
EITHER WAY within both arguments one thing is clear, there is one problem within a multiracial society that does need to be addressed and dealt with. It isn't a problem without a solution and the problem is not itself the existance of race it is racISM. This is the fundemental problem with multiculturalism: you and people like you. You are the reason why this nation has a race problem at all. Racism is not a natural occurance in matter of fact our modern perception of "race" is a constructed web of lies, misconceptions, and fairy tales formulated back during the crusades and the beginning of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. There's really not much evidence to suggest that "race" in it's classical sense exists, and there are various arguments about what classifies a "race" how many races their are, and who is apart of what race. It's really all just silliness.
WRONG. Racial differences in intelligence are clear, persistent, consistent and documented. So are racial differences in behavior. But you've already made up your mind, evidence to the contrary. You're from the fucking Barney school of politics.
Every hate group on Earth has documented clear, persistent, and consistent "facts" to back up their irrational arguments. Fact is I've yet to see of them varified, or even taken seriously. I wasn't aware that Barney had a school of politics, but I'll let you know this. First of all your not talking to a happy go-lucky liberal "let's all get along" type individual. Second my mind is made up on absolutely nothing, but what is clear as day is that the science that most racialists on all sides point too to prove their points is absolute bullshit.
You have got to be fucking kidding. The FBI tracks the stats, and what they show is the blacks and Hispanics commit crime FAR out of proportion to their percentage of the population. Have you ever spent FIVE MINUTES in a criminal court in America?
We can with statistics all night and prove just about anything we want with them.
The bottom line is this. There is nothing in the genetic code of an African American that makes him more violent then whites. I've seen plenty of violent whites, go to Europe watch a soccer game, see what happens afterwards. Hell go to white colleges after football games. If there is nothing genetic that separates the races behavior wise, the only reasonable solution is that the displayed differences in behavior are caused by outside influences: education, environment, poverty level, etc. If you break down and study the statistics, you will find a far more reliable correlation between poverty and crime then race and crime. Poor whites are far more likely to commit crimes then rich white (depending on what you call "crime") the same goes for every other racial groups. It's consistant accross the board.
Then you must factor in the obvious. The disparities in the social justice system, the drug war, prohibition, and gun control laws, and how they've affected minority races. For instance every statistic I've seen suggests that white children are just as likely to use illicit drugs as most minority groups if not MORE. However blacks are more likely to smoke marijuana or crack cocaine both have been targeted far more then any other illicit drugs within the drug war. So though the drug problem amongst young African Americans is no more worse off then white Americans young African Americans are far more likely to be thrown into the prison cycle then whites.
Then you have to discuss what effect this has on each group culturally and psycologically, and furthermore economically. The formation of a prison cycle in which young African American males are put in the system at an early age for "victimless crimes" at a far higher rate then white Americans, factor in the fact that once you in the system it's almost impossible in some cases to recover. I know federal law states that if you get locked up for marijuana or cocaine you can't recieve college assistance, as does the state government of Maryland. These are the only two drugs, that I'm aware of that these laws apply to. Not meth, speed, ex, LSD, acid, and God knows what else these kids are smoking these days. The spiraling cycle of prison, poverty, prison, poverty then creates joblessness as it's far harder for convicted criminals black or white to find a job. I mean the cycle goes on and on which is why I've said the biggest fight the constitution has is against this corrupt jsutice system, and then I think all "equal opportunity laws" can really be repealed because they'll be far less neccesary, that and the welfare system.
Ah, yes, because that's what makes for a pleasant life... getting the hell out. Know what I notice, uptown? When it's a white person behind the counter, I get a friendly smile, a hello, a nod, a 'hey, how are you?' Never get that from the black women.
Could that have anything to do with the vibe you send out as an open white supremecist?
I personally get friendly smiles from most women behind counters. Hell, I've gotten a good few numbers from young women behind counters, and have gotten some flirting time in while in the grocery line. That's black women, white women, hispanic women. As for white males I tend to be able to strike up a conversation with most. I work with mostly blue collar white males from Northern VA. Get along with most of them just fine.
What's your problem?
And this is by and large what EVERYONE DOES... even blacks. Why not push the principle to a more logical solution?
First because I don't think the state has any business pushing principles. Second because the "logical solution" doesn't work in the framework of a nation. It's been proven. Our system has worked, on and off for 400 years. It is neither perfect nor without fault, but it's worked.
We have not lost our basic human instincts, and we never will... that would mean we aren't HUMAN anymore.
Life on Earth requires that we acknowledge basic human instincts and behavior. Races ARE NOT fungible goods, my friend. They are very, very different... different enough that policies assuming equality are destined to fail. Which they have. Stop the madness. Stop the insanity. Move on to something different. Multiculturalism is a big, fat, stinking lie -- and it's perpetrated by those, like blacks, who do get something out of it because without whites, they wouldn't have the same standard of living. But whites pay for all that, and it's completely unfair.
And I should point out that blacks are actually better at understanding some of this than whites...
Must be so, because I've heard the same arguments comming from many blacks. Haven't once found a single shred of evidence to suggest that the modern definition of "race" even existed beyond the period of the crusades, or that early human beings traveled in packs based on color, or even had a significant understanding of what race actually was.
I am ALSO, being that social psychology is my intended major, very careful with words like "instinct" and "natural behavior" because I've found that surroundings and environment does alot more to effect human behavior then some sort of instinctive pull within the brain. I'm not at all convinced that humans are split into different races by intellect either, or by most qualities.
