Well maybe OO should learn to not speak in absolutes if he doesn’t want to have his inaccuracies pointed out. It is awfully nice of you to keep going to bat for him.

And I’m sure I could find more evidence of issues if I dug into fair housing complaints, but I don’t have the time for that. But if it is true that we truly have o racial issues in this country, especially in the housing market, I would imagine I would have a really hard time finding any complaints.

Lad, where did I say there was no racism in this country? Really, give me the quote. I said it was not an oppressive country.

I grew up when segregation was the law. Now everybody can go anywhere and do anything. Any racism is on the part of individuals, not the country.

You are twisting my words.

So your definition of country is the government? You’re right that the government no longer has explicitly racist laws. But you previously insinuated there wasn’t racism since you didn’t know racists (I.e. you didn’t know anyone who wouldn’t rent to someone because they were black).

Insinuated? I thought you said I said there was no racism.

This is not an oppressive country. NOT the same as saying there is no racism anywhere by anybody.

Racism was govern,net sponsored, government enforced , government controlled when I was young. If the restaurant owner said no blacks, and blacks came in, he could call the cops.

Where does that happen today? You are big on isolated and rare instances. Find one like that.

Is this an oppressive country, in your opinion? If so, why? If not, what are you arguing about?

Still can’t find any of the quotes you said I said.
