Re: Can Integration Ever Be Effected & Racism Abolished?
Can public housing be integrated? How is it that it is not?
Will we just have to wait for Christ to return & straighten out our mess?
It is the cultural divide that is the root of the problem. We have those of color who want to blend in with main stream America (status quo) and those who do not. There are Blacks who do get a solid education (K-12) and graduate from college and get a decent paying job, but the percentage is rather small. Those Blacks who do not want to blend into the mainstream usually fall into poverty and urban decay with a life of crime. Yes! racism exists in this country and it can be rather thick for people of color to sort through, but opportunities do exist for those who have the faith.
It won't get solved, especially in these "last days." And yes, Jesus will have to fix the problem but it will be a smaller one once the sheep & goats are separated.

White victims don't fit the liberal "all whites are oppressors and all non-whites are victims" ideological script they've fabricated so they simply dismiss them. Obviously, they aren't interested in the truth. They have a false ideology that's resulting in a diseconomies of benefits over time to the nation to uphold.
Keep watching. It's unraveling over time like a ball of yarn in a clowder of cats.

Unarmed people being shot by police of a different race......how is that not on topic....
oh I get it, the races are all wrong and it does not fit into the bigoted worldview of liberals.
By the way doesn't unarmed teen sound like a little innocent boy, in a pristine white hoodie?
sound familiar? The slander is the same. The bigotry is the same. The players are the same.
How many times are the liberals going to destroy the lives of people they hate before something is done about it?

What this shows here is an ignorance of the difference between white culture and black culture in America. And refusal to acknowledge that with each race, there is a different culture, is a gross miscalculation and misunderstanding of the country we live in.
The two races use the word differently. But some would argue that either use, endearing or derogatory, is still not okay.
But at any rate, what you're talking about is context. And I submit that the context in which blacks use it, is more ambiguous than the way whites use it.
Some blacks who do use the word use it more loosely and can have different meanings.
When whites use it, it's racist.
I'm aware of the double standard, and just because some people insanely think that it's unfair doesn't mean that double standard doesn't exist.
And the desire to break the double standard and say that if blacks and use it, then whites should be able is racist. I mean, who would WANT to use that word anyway?
The only other way is to stop saying it all together. But that's never going to happen. So I say just accept the double standard.

It's related to the topic. Read this 'Black cop kills white man, media hide race':
Black cop kills white man, media hide race
In this case, the unarmed young white man actually was innocent. He never put his hands on or charged a police officer. He just pulled up his pants and was gunned down by a black police officer who was standing over him screaming at the top of his lungs for him to get down with his gun drawn.
So if we follow the recurring example of our black neighbors then we need to find a seventh grade picture of him to post online and pretend like he's an angelic juvenile and follow that up with sweeping rioting and looting of innocent store owners and assaults on random black people to punish them racist black police right?
*rolls eyes*
Nope. The protests in Utah are wholly lawful and orderly.
Can someone explain why they are in Utah and are NOT in Missouri? Anyone?

I don't. I'm using hyperbole. Hyperbole is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device to create emphasis or effect. It is not meant to be taken absolutely literally.
A great example of hyperbole in literature comes from Paul Bunyan’s opening remarks in the American folktale Babe, the Blue Ox:
“Well now, one winter it was so cold that all the geese flew backward and all the fish moved south and even the snow turned blue. Late at night, it got so frigid that all spoken words froze solid afore they could be heard. People had to wait until sunup to find out what folks were talking about the night before.”
