Why don't black and white Americans live together?
BBC News ^ | January 8, 2016 | Rajini Vaidyanathan

Legal segregation in the US may have ended more than 50 years ago. But in many parts of the country, Americans of different races aren't neighbours - they don't go to the same schools, they don't shop at the same stores, and they don't always have access to the same services.

In 2016 the issue of race will remain high on the agenda in the United States. The police killings of unarmed black men and women over the past few years reignited a debate over race relations in America, and the reverberations will be felt in the upcoming presidential election and beyond.

Ferguson, Baltimore and Chicago are three cities synonymous with racial tensions - but all three have another common denominator. They, like many other American cities, are still very segregated.

Some friend and I were just discussing this tonight at a Bible study.

A few years ago, I was listening to an urban radio station and they reported the results of a survey. The main question asked of blacks was “How many white people do you know?”

An overwhelming majority reported none.

There’s the problem.

Cities are divided black and white. The rural country side is not. South of Fredericksburg, Virginia is not divided at all. These twits need to get out more and see “flyover country”.

The real question is:

Why don’t white liberals and blacks live together? Why don’t white liberals “diversify” black hoods and schools and shopping areas?

Ask a liberal that anytime, and the argument ends right there

Probably because we don’t want to play the “polar bear game “and end up dead.

blacks do move into white areas.
Black person with white person moves into white areas.
Asians move into white areas.
Hispanics move into white areas.

Whites don’t move into mostly minority areas due to those areas look like crap, houses run down, crime high, gangs etc.

Sometimes whites areas become minority areas due to whites moving out due to the fact certain minorities ruin that white area. Detroit, Parts of Boston, etc

In the interest of securing votes via dependency, the Democrat Party has used financial incentives to destroy the black culture. Systematically.

It is culture. There is a cultural rot going on in the black community. Not because they’re inferior.

It’s a planned and systematic assault.

The results are obvious, even to the BBC.

Nothing like being lectured to by atheistic, statist limeys.

Hey limeys, how does this sound:

“Why don’t the Pakis and the English live together?”

Because forced government desegregation fails every time it is tried.

Because public schools are a tool for ethnic cleansing. Black children attack white children in gangs and beat them into the hospital. White parents generally prefer their children without brain damage so they pay an enormous “white tax” to keep their children safe.

It is not a matter of black and white. It is a cultural thing.

I prefer to associate with hard working, honest, trustworthy, self-made types.

I do not mix well with a people/culture that promotes stealing (welfare, taxes - it’s all the same) from other people - regardless of whatever form it takes these days.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Yet after 4,000 years of civilization, 20th century liberals decide we should just throw that out the window.

God knew what He was doing when he made and separated the different tribes.

Someone should ask the BBC how many blacks they have in the House of Lords.

Most people want to preserve their ethnic values and culture. In Alaska, you’ll have a White community and a separate Indian Village a couple miles apart. Everybody knows each other and get along just fine. They will attend public events together, kids in same school, but when it comes down to where you live; everybody stays with their own kind; no joke. Indians don’t want to completely lose their language, cultural identity, and become greedy White People. Whites don’t want all the alcohol problems and the social problems it entails in most Indian Villages. Some things will never change.

This is a Julian Castro puff piece. Setting the table for him to be VP candidate.
