Many well reasoned points and just a bit of snark.
Seperate but equal in a town half black, was an agreement of power sharing, where each economy, one richer and more educated, besides being white, had full power over their own group.
Black schools were under black control, with State funding, certified black teachers, and the lunch lady. They also got hand me down supplies from the white schools. Think what you want, but it provided role models, showed a working black community.
Employment was unequal, because the blacks lacked higher education, so Legal, Engineering, Management did go to those who were able. Public employment was shared, as I remember Dr. King addressed the black sanitation workers. Garbage pickup, ditch digging, are needed, and were almost all black, and a few white felons.
We did not have thrift stores, yard sales, or missions, white churchs collected and sent to black churches. A good coat will last through several growing children, and still be warm. We did the same in our own families.
Blacks were considered less scary than poor whites, who are poor for a reason. Blacks do treat their children well, the real horror stories came from poor whites. They were the third group, and the most problem. Blacks are not animals, they are better, animals are better than poor whites.
Had a little dog and his name was Dash, rather be a ****** than poor white trash.
Each to their own group, leave the others alone, live in peace as best we can.
Intergration and the Voting Rights Act changed everything. Blacks failed in white schools. Whites left for Church Schools, The all black schools now had white trash mixed in.
They had the votes to elect a Mayor, but not the sense to run a government. The money vanished, nothing was maintained, white people moved out, more blacks moved in. As there were no longer people who gave them things, they just took it from the stores, because slavery. Business left.
Welfare and food stamps produced generations that had never worked. Just vote Democrat and keep the checks coming. What do you call an employed black person? On Parole.
Most whites did not move far, built new houses, did not form towns, had church schools, and life was better. They took the economy with them.
The black community suffered, crime spiked, most crime is black on black. Drug gang warlords moved in, drugs and death followed. Mexicans like these outlet towns.
The smarter moved to where they could live next to white people.
The small towns across the south were lost, both black and white flight went to cities with entrenched white populations. This lead to Gentryfication, where traditional black areas were redeveloped, because it was the only housing available close to jobs and good schools. Rents rose, some blacks were pushed out.
It turned out they were doing the crime, the Gentry were heard by the police, held nights out against crime, kept the lights on, and the result was, their black neighbors joined them. People who had lived in blight cleaned their yards and painted their houses, seeing a better life, they took it. Turns out it is not that hard to revitalize a neighborhood.
The social connection grew, black residents were invited to neighborhood meeting, and white people got street lights replaced, roads paved, drains cleared, and crime almost vanished. The fastest rising property values were those black owned next to the white Gentry.
As the road to hell is paved with good intentions, people still defend these laws that destroyed what most blacks had. Black complaints were met with the Prison Industrial Complex.
Food clothing and shelter in exchange for picking cotton sounds better.
It is not racist to say that the plight of blacks has worsened over the last fifty years.
We did regulate life in our old culture, all communities do. We did not have millions of blacks in cages, which is now the case. We did not have the crime rates now seen everwhere. We did not have the murder rate that now kills young black men.
You say I am racist, Rosa Parks agrees with me. The people we so carefully trained to function and provide the leadership blacks needed agree with me. This was not the intended outcome of the Civil Rights Movement.
Killing Dr. King, selling Crack, were not the only government ops to keep the black people from gaining economic and political power. Remember, they were raised by Conseritives. We had power sharing.
As for the Dick Move, New Orleans was called Sodom and Gammora on the Mississippi by the Simpsons. Up until 1908 when a Navy prude closed it we had Storyville, a famous red light district. Take that Nevada. Boy sex had been going on since before the Greeks, New Orleans was an open and worldly city. Up until the 1960s when a huricane destroyed it, The Club My Oh My on the lakefront had female inpersonators providing the entertainment. It was not some hidden cult, it drew a large audience, for the entertainment. We had drag queen strip clubs in the French Quarter, I think we still do.
The new homosexuals called it discrimination when HIV showed up in the bath houses of San Francisco, and public health wanted to close them, track the cases, isolate them, and the usual methods of stopping the spread of disease. It worker on Typhoid, TB, it would have worked on HIV, Cuba did it, it worked.
They threw a hissy, swished in the streets, and threatened to expose the other customers.. The Bath Houses stayed open, five million have died, more than all our wars, fifteen million are infected, it is bankrupting Social Security and Medicare. It showed a connection with IV drug use, and prison populations. The current death rate is 15,000 a year, and rising.
I wish they would marry, research shows homosexual males have 500 sex partners, 17 out of 18 people who die of Colorectal Cancer are homosexual males, besides HIV, they are big in Hepititus, A,B, C, and who knows. Everyone dies, they do it fifteen years younger.
On the plus side they are mostly 100% homosexual, so they keep it in the group sex.
On the minus side, sex is one thing, the HIV, Hep, IV drug use, and several boyfriends in prison, leads me to wonder if they are the best person for the job. Historic Sodomy covered a lot more than sex. Every country that is seeking spies who will sell out their own country, looks for Sodomites, and always has.
History also connects that with poisoning, con games, thefts, and funding the prison population, maybe things change, maybe history was written by homophobes.
It is a small part of the drug using prison population, altogether maybe 5%, that cause a lot of problems.
Lesbians do not spread disease, but they do have the highest rates of domestic violence police calls. They beat out blacks and poor whites!
Women have most of the money, they live longer, make out as serial brides, and get the house, kids, and child support in divorce. it is said, they have most of the money and all of the p****. They get most of the University Degrees, and men still spend money on them.
Recent reports say they want to strut their stuff through black neighborhoods and not have black men offering them the D. Saying good morning is a form of rape, and they wonder why people will not talk to them, and exclude them.
They are displaying power they do not have, and making public fools of themselves.
Now would I want that in a smoothly running office of ten? They are here to play everyone against each other and tear down the power structure, that produces the paychecks.
Even employed, when the next downturn comes, guess who is wearing the pink slip. It is called biting the hand that feeds you.
We have not had full employment in a decade, and will never have it again. Computers and robots are expected to take a third of jobs in the next decade.
From here we are going to have two worlds, the working and the underclass slum. Or we could join, hopeless I know, and as The People rewrite the tax laws, provide a universal income, with education.
Education has been the best thing for economic development. Social Unity is the best thing for any country.
Splintered single issue politics hides the elephant in the room, all go down when the ship sinks.
