Any White people allowed to marry into Black High Society in America?
Any White people in the Black High Society debutante balls in America?

Asshole. Do you know why there is a Black High Society in America?

BTW - my wife was a debutante.

Bo,  I don't disagree that discrimination against African-American people was worse.   And,  for sure,  you couldn't dodge it with a name change as some ethnic groups did.   I guess I am grappling with how groups,  like the Lakota (the dominant ethnicity of my neighborhood), would handle the notion that the extent and persistence of racism was greater for blacks.   Lakota have turned down a billion dollars or more in reparations for the theft of the Black Hills because they don't feel that makes things right - the general feeling is that the Hills are still theirs and they had no interest in selling them.   That land is sacred to them.  I'm not saying that's analogous or even similar to slavery reparations, just trying to convey that issues get complex whenever someone hatches a simple plan to rectify past wrongs.   Would blacks have mixed feelings, as well,  about getting a check?   I just don't have a clear view of how this works.  I do like Booker's idea of a college fund for every child because it's a boost to every family facing economic disadvantages.


Fuck the money. How about some fucking honesty on the part of the nation?
 
What this country needs is Truth and Reconciliation effort as they did in South Africa and as they’re still doing in Rwanda.

Yeah, I know they’ve on the continent and are therefore Shitholes but it doesn’t render their efforts ineffectual. It’s more than ANY thing ever done by the USA which has done the exact opposite with the vast selling of the Noble Lost Cause lie.

Whenever the black communities across the nation pulled themselves up by the proverbial bootstraps the USA countenanced and sanctioned the burning of their boots.

Look up Red Summer of 1919. Some of you may have seen Watchmen on HBO and not realized how the destruction of Greenwood in Tulsa happened all across the USA, east to west, north to south.

I unfortunately believe we won’t get a truly progressive president, House, or Senate until white voters stop balking at sharing with non-white people.

White people need to get a fucking grip. How else could a nation sanction what the fuck is going on at the Southern border and don’t @ me with the Not All White People bullshit. Donald Trump is president on the strength of white majorities.

Do you know that in this day and age there's supposed to be equality, integration, tolerance, acceptance....and not voluntary segregation?

Bambu has apparently given up on the Murdoch press and his #1 radio host and embraced the global brotherhood of man. Welcome to the one big international union. Life will be so much better now for Bambi since he’s given up his claims of being white.

Donald Trump is president on the strength of the same white majorities who elected Barack Obama president.
Same voting system.

White people in America seem to get it...that the Southern Border must be sealed, and that people who enter the country illegally take their chances.

LOL

Murdoch is not always correct.
No 1 radio host and bambu sing from the same hymn book 99% of the time.

bambu is White, but could have who knows what blood flowing thru his veins.
"One drop and you're Black"- US govt.

Father [black hair] looked a bit like Hitler, and a bit like the Iranian Mullah who was in the paper today. Not the supreme leader the other one.
Shave off his beard, blend him with Hitler, and hey presto!

He married mommy dearest, a blonde, blue eyed, fraulein.

Trump bumping off his business partners with drone strikes paid for with our tax dollars is an interesting extension of presidential prerogatives well beyond the legal and the sane. It’s probably making a number of the dictators and international criminals he’s also in bed with feel antsy and defensive to a whole new order of magnitude. It’s also a very good reason to remove him from office as soon as humanly possible.

No, the white majorities voted for McCain and Romney, then Trump, with some of the whites who voted for Obama also voting for Trump.

And no, not the same voting system, no matter how often you repeat yourself.

Hitler and a Mullah fucking is a perfect spiritual origin for 99% of what you post. It encapsulates their pillow talk and you are the natural offspring. I can’t argue against it.

I won’t say thank you for that image, but it will follow for the rest of your time on Elba.
