At this time I won't form an opinionated answer. I will comtemplate the question and give the best answer I can, but I will say the same thing that inspired these people:

Fair enough...no rush, either.

So where do we begin? Who decides who leaves and to where? What about the black or white people who don't want to leave or live seperately? Who gets to make the rules?

apparently, according to darrion, he's made the rules for them already. i have quite a few black friends and never..never has race, slavery, or anything remotely close to that ever come up as a topic. would i want to lose their friendship? nope. good people...all of them.

however, it appears that some blacks obviously have a plan mapped out in advance for all the others who are just living like everyone else. perhaps this is what some people don't like to see: races getting along?

i've never held anyone accountable because of their race, but always because of their character.

Isn't the US suppose to be the place where ALL RACES COME TOGETHER? If you want segregation, go someplace else. And take Bush with you!

Derrion, I am guessing (and this is only my guess) that you have been hurt in some fashion or another personally by someone who is "white". I am sorry for that because I hate for anyone to be hurt. However, I don't think your personal experience is reason enough to justify what you are asking for. My family is comprised of myself, my mate--whom is a black man--, and my son. Would you say that because we are an "interracial" couple, that he should leave us? As far as I can tell, am considering that this is an incredibly personal situation, we (white and black) get along very well. In fact, he is perhaps the kindest person I've ever known. That has nothing whatsoever to do with his being black, or my being white. We happen to see each other as people. I'm afraid that somewhere along the line, you have become incapable of doing that. I also fear that in your desire and need to cut yourself off from whatever pain you have experienced, you are also undeservedly writing off a whole world of people just because their skin tone doesn't match your own. That is a sad shame; Given that you are probably writing off many people unjustly.

"mga" you just cannot stop being your charming self.

Apparantly? No sir. I follow a plan that is already been laid out.

I doubt if you looked at the video with Elijah Muhammad and Irv Kupcinet, but it pretty well elaborates on the issue.

I will just write this if some black people do not want to separate, they have that right. I would not force anyone to do against his or her will.
I am like Noah. When you don't want to do a thing after you have had fair warning then I shall leave you be.

Your "black friends" may have not considered this a topic as it was when chattel slavery ended MOST black did not want to leave "massa", so I understand that completely and that bothers me not.

Oh, I love peace. Peace of mind and contentment. I would love to see all the peoples on the planet get along, however, in the way that it is trying to be done it will not work.

The slave can never be equal with his master. There will always be a conflict. This centuries old problem must be solved and it cannot be solved with this "melting pot" theory. That is why it is called a theory.

And to talk about getting along, black people here in America have been the one that has been subjected to inhuman treatment by white people. So who is at fault for failing to get along?

And out of all honesty and "fair play" let derrion answer a question when it is asked of him. I would do the same for you.

Segregation was first introduced in this country by white people against all others:

http://booksandotherstuff.com/images/Ar ... gsEtAl.jpg

So why does anyone have to go someplace else?

You're the one who suggested it...remember?...Black and whites living completely seperately...?

There still is a lot of racism in this country, but the only way to get past that is to prove to people that inequality and seperation are not options. I hope that once we get rid of our racist president, things will get better.

Everybody is held responsible for their own decisions.

In todays society "interracial" marriage is tolerated. Yesterday there would be no such thing allowed openly. In fact intermarriage is tolerated worldwide, but nowhere in the world do people really approve of marrying outside of their "race" Look at China. Look at Japan. Look at all of the nations of the world and you will see the whole of the world staying with their own. Let a black man go to Ireland and seek a bride and see what happens. Let a Korean man go to India and seek a bride and see what happens. Usually these intermarriages happen outside of the country of origin.

And like I wrote this is now permitted or tolerated in America. How many black men have been killed for just looking at a white woman. And I am willing to wager that someone in your immediate family is not at all satisfied about you and your husbands union.

And where do you read I am doing anything unjust. I am writing that separation is the best answer for the problems that we see confronting this centuries old problem. The answer that it will work out has not proven true and will not be true.

Remember the original settelers of the country separated from England. So I ask what is the problem if some black people want to leave.

My answer was to you concerning segregation. Which was forced, and that is bad. I am plainly supporting voluntarily separation. Why? Because as long as black poeple remain in this country under white people they will be considered the fools of the world.

And really black people don't have to go anywhere, since our forced slave labor is what help make this country strong. America should just give us (those who want to separate) 3 or 4 of these United States.

This country was built on race hatred of others. This president now does not matter to the extent of the policies of the whole. Presidents don't matter, not in this issue.

Keep living and watching there will be no other option but separation. Everything will return to its own. Better yet, everything MUST go to its own.
