Quote:I'm not talking about social engineering. I'm suggesting ppl spend more time with each other so you can truly know them, see how much alike we are. And I'm not sure where you're going with the ethical part. You asked me what I would do, then turned around and said it's nobody's business to suggest or enforce who you spend your time with. This makes it seem as if you didn't want an answer to your question. When poor blacks and whites are housed in the same areas, there teens to be less racial animus because everyone has to rely on each other.


I'm not trying to enforce anything as I said I'm strictly against any legislation dictating it. I'm short on details because we're on a message board and you couldn't think I was going to lay out an elaborate plan for combating racism. You mentioned BLM and Colin being possibly interested in only being adversarial but have yourself have rejected an idea that has no adversarial tenets. Lastly, we are not in need of some great leader, other groups seemed to be doing fine without one. Careful asking after Dr. King, the last of his speeches didn't sound like the ones they teach you in school. The world is what we make it.


If you don't want racial harmony, just say that and be proud. What BLM and Colin are talking about isn't grouping or a categorization of races. They are talking about oppression. If you would like to turn a blind eye, be my guest. If you want to know what's really happening you'll have to visit the ppl it's happening to. You asked me for answer, I gave you one but if you read your response, you're as guilty of not wanting a solution at the frequency of those you accuse.


Btw, I started a thread titled "food for thought on our perceived racial divide." It contains an article detailing the birth of racism in this country. Not that I should have to say this but it's not written from the perspective of a minority. I guess I fear you'll ignore it if it's written by someone who black.
