Black separatism seems like an utterly insane policy to me.
Also, is this attempted secession? It’s eerily reminiscent of Derry in 1969.

Ah, the “welcome to free Derry” signs. There’s also the fact that there’s no Republic just across the border.
Well, it wasn’t the first time virtue signaling had an effect on Arnold. Apparently if you don’t stop an execution of a murderer, you’re the bad guy.
Let’s agree that the Irish are to blame for all of this.
Little did you know that the true NWO conspiracy is actually a long term Irish plan to conquer the globe by undermining anglophone governments.

It is such a long term plan that it took Joyce 17 years to write it down. Unfortunately, no one is capable of living long enough to read it the whole way through so not even the Irish know how it’s supposed to end.
Well obviously.
Right. I’ve never understood it. Voluntary segregation???
Behavior? These guys slammed someone onto the hood of a car while talking to his friend calmly, without cause? “Both the same drunk but sharp still” doesn’t answer my questions. There is more to police interactions than the probable cause behind such interaction. I’ve noticed the same lack of understanding in homeless drunks questioning why they are arrested for being drunk in public while the college kid is allowed to get a ride home. Both are drunk, so why any difference? Well, the homeless guy has nowhere to go to remove himself from public and will possibly freeze to death during the night. The college kid has an Uber coming to take him back to his dorm.
That, or a nation defined by racialism. I just can’t wrap my head around it.
Where would it even be? Would there be a black mini-state in Louisiana and Georgia?
At least the Irish nutters have a pre-defined end goal, namely a socialist Republic across all of Ireland.
Edit: or, in the case of the loyalists, all Catholics out of Ulster.
Insane, but comprehensible.
Again, we both came out, identified ourselves as the residents. He got turned around, told to put his hands behind his back, was cuffed, and then pushed hard enough face first onto the hood of the cop car that i would have been pissed had it been my car. Meanwhile, i just got talked to. neither of us gave attitude, both just gave yessir,nosir answers. After making their point and saying they would check back in 15 minutes and everyone better be gone, they uncuffed my buddy, and drove off.
I did answer your questions, you are just searching high and low to find any reason at all to contradict this specific instance of the very common narrative of prejudicial policing. Its a very common narrative for a reason (i wont argue that prejudicial policing keeps cops safer). You still probably wont believe me though.
Segregation created and enforced by the white majority onto the black minority gives all the short straws to the black folks. segregation created and enforced by the black folks would allow them to not automatically get all the short straws, and be able too set up their society specifically to help themselves, as opposed to just getting the scraps that the white majority throws their way.
I believe that is the thinking.
This is the headline for a book review in the NY Times:
Wayétu Moore Escapes a Civil War in Liberia. In America, She Encounters a New Kind of Danger.
"Wayétu (Tutu) Moore’s immersive, exhilarating memoir, “The Dragons, the Giant, the Women,” is framed by her family’s harrowing escape from that civil war, which broke out in 1989, spanned 14 years and resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands, with millions more displaced. "
That was what was happening in Liberia. This is her experience in America that is seen as worse than the deaths of hundreds of thousands:
"The Moore family lived a good life before the war, and after raising their children in America, in 2012 Tutu’s parents return to Liberia to resume it. “Honestly, I had an experience in Texas that was more traumatic than the war,” an adult Moore tells her therapist, who balks in response. In America — where she sits at “the Blackgirl table” at school, where once “I took too long to get my candy bar and that store owner pushed my sister and called us that word”
An incident in a candy store is more traumatic than a war? Have people lost their minds to even think this, let alone say it?
Who is going to pay for it? As long as their lives are subsidized by the government, they will never be free. It’s easy to say you want to do what you want when someone else will pay for it.
how old was she when her family left liberia? Maybe she was too young to understand or be deeply affected by it, or maybe her family was lucky enough to not have experienced the horrors of the war.
But yeah, id be inclined to believe she is being awfully hyperbolic.
We we talking about the black panther party trying to segregate back in the 60’s and 70s. And i believe they didnt want any assistance from the government, they believed they could create their own succesful society and economy by self policing and enforcing very high standards of conduct from their community.
Like i said, it could have turned out great, or it could have turned out terrible and authoritarian and violent.
Whenever I hear people talk about these Marxist utopias that sound so good based on the rhetoric, I think, do they know they will still have to get jobs? I believe the card carrying, professional/career activists see themselves as part of an elite class that will be giving out orders while the idiots who follow them think they will be giving out free stuff. The masses don’t see the significance of the militant aspect to these movements. Authoritarian leaders love to wear uniforms.
What difference does that make? Your friend just walked out with you and was abused before either of you was given a chance to answer, from the sounds of it. Why would they even ask questions of a guy handcuffed and bent over the hood of a car? Did your friend make any formal complaint about his treatment? What was the outcome?
You asked about our behavior so i answered your question.
No formal complaint made, he didnt want to. just wanted to move on. not to minimize, but its similar to the racket with parking tickets- the fine is not high enough to make it worth the time you’d need to spend fighting that BS parking ticket.
Do you think the culture of the black community was much different in the 50s and 60s than it is today? Do you think they would have responded better or worse to the gung-ho rehtoric or personal/community responsibility and being a responsible productive member of the community?
