Racism is not logical. Trying to understand it logically is folly.

Racism stems from a majority inflicting it's will on a minority. Oppression is just the excuse that the minorities will use when it becames the majority.

I predict that until the minority feels that it has retaliated for the sins of the passed will this country truly heal and begin to get rid of racism forever.

Until then, we might even have a race war.

Consider this. If the black on white crime continues, it won't be normal white people that will come out of the shadows. These little thugs will end up fighting a very militarized faction of "separatist" groups if you catch my drift. Your idiotic justification is the very reason we have racism.

Cop out. I'm almost sure that everyone in the south knows someone oppressed by Jim Crow laws.

No puckassmotherfornicatingthug killing in todays headlines is 60 years old or lived under jim crow laws or has been oppressed. Any thug committing assault or murder claiming it was because of past oppression or any white liberal claiming the same is full of caca.

So you are saying that you know oppressed people. Ok.

But Jim Crow was not confined to the South. He made his home in northern states as well, perhaps most notably in New York. Starting in the 18th century, the history of New York’s election laws follows this national narrative. In fact, New York was the only state in the country to require blacks – and only blacks – to own real property in order to qualify to vote.

New York’s criminal disenfranchisement provisions, like those deployed in the South, were part of a concerted effort to exclude African Americans from participating in the political process. As African Americans gained freedom with the gradual end of slavery, New York’s voting qualifications – including criminal disenfranchisement laws – became increasingly more restrictive. A careful reading of New York’s constitutional history reveals that at the very time that the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments forced the state to remove its nefarious property requirements for African-American voters, New York changed its law from allowing to requiring the disenfranchisement of those convicted of “infamous crimes.”

The term "Jim Crow Law" was first used n 1841 in reference to a Massachusetts law which required railroads to provide a separate car for Negro passengers.

You're right. Doesn't really matter where they lived.

Does that mean you'll stop referring to Jim Crow laws as a Southern thing?

Sure. Discrimination has no borders.

My family was oppressed by the King of England and the English people for years.
Dang Royals. I need reparations. Treated us like serfs, like they owned us, which they claimed they did.

Actually no. It was the justification of slavery for over 200 years that kept racism alive and well for centuries.

You can't just oppress a people for that long and expect to suffer no consequences.

I'm not justifying it. I'm just acknowledging the reality of what is going to happen to the white majority race in this country in the next 20 years or so.

Slavery existed in the US for 200 years (total Lie) from 1776 to 1976. You sure are the meshungina moron.

No one is being oppressed and has anything to get even for. Those 60 year olds you keep bringing up aren't out killing whitey. It's young punks.

None of us owned slaves. None of us have oppressed. Why you keep saying we have to suffer the consequences is beyond me.

Part of my family is Irish and if you know anything about this country is that they didn't treat the Irish very well. It was almost on par with blacks but a serious difference being that blacks were treated as property, whereas the Irish were subhuman. Nearly every racial subgroup has been historically oppressed within the history of the world. Just food for thought.
