“I see that you’re still calling for this.”

Did I miss some event that suggested I should re-evaluate this?

BTW, I say what I say not with any animosity toward any people of any race, in fact I’m saddened at the tragedy of the situation. I say it with the same sense as seeing two married people who are totally incompatible and constantly fighting, where it’s neither party fault - they are simply incompatible. So why keep the misery going?

“How would you go about making it happen?”

The first step to solving any problem is to define the problem correctly and to acknowledge it. Unfortunately we as a nation are not even at this first step. Though there are starting to be some signs of awareness. On the black side, the nation of islam has long been for separation. On the white side, the Alt-Right is also suggesting peaceful separation.

If we ever get to that point I’m sure there will be people much smarter than me that will suggest solutions that can be evaluated. Some suggestions are in “The Bell Curve”.

The next step to solving a problem is having the will to want to solve it. It will take an incredible amount of collective will to solve this one. Will sometimes arises out of a problem getting so bad that it can no longer be ignored or rationalized away.

I don’t know how far we are from that point, but we’re definitely heading toward it.

Earlier in our history, there was an effort at separation with the creation of Liberia. And, as I pointed out, even Lincoln was in favor of separation. After the civil war all traces of that will not only disappeared, but was rendered anathema. Still is to a great extent.

I have a couple questions for you.

What do you think is the reason that there is so much friction (to put it kindly) between blacks and whites, as a whole, most everywhere in the world?

How would you go about ensuring peaceful coexistence between the two groups?
