According to your fanciful account, post-bellum black-on-white crime consisted of stealing an occasional apple pie that was cooling on a window sill. Then pray tell us how the situation deteriorated so that black-on-white violent crime is nowadays 35 times the per capita rate of white-on-black violent crime. In reality, black-on-white crime was of intense interest in every post-bellum neighborhood where it occurred, which was all with any appreciable black population, and that was the reason for the imposition of Jim Crow laws, i.e., as measures to curtail such crime.

No, I cited large regions where slave-holding was rare. You seem unaware that West Virginia seceded from Virginia during the Civil War. That is not an isolated community. Even in the slave-holding regions of the Piedmont, the Coastal Plain and the river valleys, yeomen farmers eventually voted with their feet and deserted from the Confederate armies. The Confederacy failed to gain independence exactly because it was not homogeneous.

You go right ahead and pay for it, pal.

Count the rest of us out.

Forcefully.

For you to ignore the other way out, that people who don't mix all that well stop...mixing...well, it speaks to the breadth of your vision, does it not?

For the second time in this thread you demonstrate that you do not know any history. The policy toward free and freed blacks, North as well as South, was not based on fear of blacks being too harmonious but on their being too dangerous. Data from Philadelphia going back as far as 1830 documents that even free blacks early in that city's history were many times more likely than their white fellow citizens to commit violent crime and that differential has continued uninterrupted until the present. realhistory's pseudonym is to actual history as the Ministry of Truth in "1984" was to factual analysis. He has no credibility with anyone knowledgeable.

Your solution is essentially a part of multiculturalism, although those that push it are worse than the KKK about their own racial purity.

Also, is that really desirable? Really, just flatten culture?

All beautiful vivid colors, when mixed, create flat and dull grey.

Now.

I thought for a time Christianity could be a solution, but watching the behavior of the victim and grievance mongers, I no longer believe that.

Here are the possible directions:

1) Whites get family back and start having children.
2) they die.

5-10% of southern whites owned slaves.
 

Learn some history, eh? You need a dose of your own prescription. There was no homogeneous "South." Large geographical swaths had very few slave owners: the Appalachians (central Alabama to West Virginia, which has a history you should acquaint yourself with), the Wiregrass (longleaf pine flatwoods in southern Mississippi, southeastern Alabama and northwestern Florida), the Ozarks. All of these areas contributed either Union regiments (1st Alabama, USA, mostly from Winston County) or anti-Confederate guerillas, or just plain draft-dodgers (in January, 1865, Confederate Captain Ezekiel Stuart died in a gunfight with draft-dodgers in the streets of Ashville, Alabama). Oh, and those antebellum poor whites without land, slaves or regular employment, did they get their subsistence from government welfare? Lastly, your nome de Guerra is enough to make me feel smug.

Yes it would have been much better to leave the African in his native land. We would have much less trouble then we do now. As we have seen' you really can't take the jungle out of the savage.

Whites were enslved in several fashions by various cultures including their own for centuries. Yet, they do not use that as an excuse for their behavior because at large their behavior is many levels higher than the black.

Learn some American history.

And it categorically supports your narrative?

Was Black slavery even that profitable? I was on a thread where someone was posting links to economic analyses of pre-civil war cotton production and decrying the money to be made. Things went quiet when the numbers were crunched and not much money was left on the table. That era's slavery looks more like a vanity venture, with the money to be found in plantation's aggregating and marketing local production.

"Amateurs think tactics; professionals thing logistics."

Poor whites felt smug and therefore were part of the slave power? One group got paid in land, money, and political influence, and another got self-esteem. Same difference.

That's the sort of nonsense that allows people to talk about "systematic" racism because a white person once beat their grandfather to death and yesterday they think a white person looked askance at them for a split second.

" Learn some American history."

REAL American history, or the revisionist variety you have been brainwashed with ?THEY want reparations......but want to stay here. How bad could it be.
How about we give reparation$$$$ to those who agree to give up their citizenship and move back to Africa.
Compare the lifestyle of their direct cousins who stayed in Africa compared to their own, here.

so what do you propose to even this out after all these years?
