Middle photo of black bear at picnic table waiting for service.....

Yes, sir, your order* of two medium rare squirrels, four whole salmon, a large bowl of blueberries and a honey drizzled piece of pound cake coming right up.

*Partially based on WWF “what do black bears eat?”

Blacks are constantly complaining that everyone is “racist” against them. In other words, other races don’t like them. Well, what does a good parent do if their first grader comes home from school and says, “Nobody likes me; nobody will play with me; everybody hates me”? Chances are you’d say, “Well, honey, how are you behaving toward the other children? Are you friendly? Do you play fair? In order to have a friend, you have to BE one. Let’s look at your behavior and see if maybe there’s a reason the other children don’t like you.” The problem is, nobody’s allowed to say that to blacks. The only cause anyone is allowed to consider is that other races, especially whites, are just vicious, hateful “racists” who don’t like the color of their skin. That’s one of the reasons why things never get better.

Do you think you can get away with being honest and telling the truth?

Agree. Also, our welfare system is designed to break families up because payments/child are higher when both parents are not present. In the 1950's, illegitimacy rates for whites and blacks was about the same. Now, 72% of black children are illegitimate and from single-parent homes. I think the War on Poverty (1967) has a lot to do with that.

For all the talk about “diversity,” when I look at people in their teens and twenties I see nothing but homogeneity until you get to the underclass. Not only that but the suburbs around New York City were more highly segregated during my youth in the 1980s then they are today (and even then they are still not las racially mixed as similar areas in Florida).

Biggest racial divide will be between blacks and whites, but I still see greater cultural homogeneity both amongst the normies and within the underclass. Whether that is a good or bad thing I will leave to others to decide.

1) A good number of Hispanics identify as white

2) I’ve been hearing about this backlash by the white man all my life and then before I was born back into the 1960s when the black power movement was a thing. Didn’t happens then and won’t happen now. People are fat, happy, and are mostly conflict adverse. Folks will just self-segregate/sort (and not just by black/white) and go along to get along.

That is a “NEW Polar Bear” that has replaced the older model of Polar Bear.

It’s BEEN wrecking the US since at least 1957, in Little Rock,Ark.

Or ‘55, with Rosa Parks, the American Communist member, deliberately trying to create an incident.

Or in the late ‘40s, when Truman desegregated the Army.

I sometimes use the VA clinic.
When I go there I've realized that if I can steer clear of what I believe to be Affirmitive Action workers, I can get descent service.
Otherwise it can be a nightmare.

Ran into that at the Las Vegas VA system. When they had check-in clerks, the blacks were always adversarial, i.e. I requested a change in info and was told "You're makin' me do all this extra work." (isn't that your job?)

After one skin doc was done with the visit, the black nurse left me lying on my back in the chair for 20 minutes. When I asked if the doc was finished, she said "Yes". Had I not asked, I'd still be there.

One time (only) I used the bus service run by the VFW down to Vegas. The black driver asked what time my appointment was and then drove all over Hell and Gone dropping off the others before getting to my destination. I was late and had to reschedule for a month later. When the same driver picked me up, he asked if I made it and I lied and said "yes". His face showed disappointment.

The VA there is like the League of Nations - never had a white person in 20 years - Orientals, Filipinos, you name it. The only ones I had trouble with were the blacks who all had an attitude, the rest are first rate professionals.
