So can we fund present-day pictures of Baltimore, Philly, Chicago, St. Louis, Atlanta and any of the 2 dozen other American cities that blacks have destroyed. Can we honestly say blacks are better off today in Northern ghettos than they were under Southern segregation? By every conceivable social metric, blacks are worse off today under "civil rights" than they ever were under Jim Crow.
ReplyDeleteExcept any picture you post will illustrate the essence of "white power". http://www.theatlantic.com/features/archive/2014/05/the-case-for-reparations/361631/
ReplyDeleteYou sent me a link to a story by a racist anti-white lunatic. What does that prove? "White power?" I think you mean Jewish power. America is a Jewish- and minority-supremacist society, not a white supremacist one.
ReplyDeletesegregation cultured a civilized black population in the US.
ReplyDeletelook at the black community today.
segregation was obviously more beneficial for blacks than whites.
so, in light of that, was segregation really that bad?
the same can be said for South Africa, once a civilized first world super power and by far the leader on the african continent, and today it is a mismanaged, racist (black on white), murder and rape capital of the planet, under black rule.
Ah yes, its people like you that make watching interracial porn more enjoyable. Next time I see a white woman getting a money shot i'll imagine all the sad racists out there and sleep better.
