It's a fair question and one where MLK would be appalled at the current climate where minorities intentionally segregate themselves. They are doing voluntarily what the civil rights movement spent years and lives to try to undo. The idea is to stop looking at each other from the perspective of class, gender, race, sexual orientation, etc. and look at each other as fellow citizens. Unfortunately the Democrat party and the race/proverty pimps figured out that they could achieve electoral and financial success by dividing Americans into categories and pitting them against each other based on real or perceived grievances. Follow the money and power....it always leads you to the answer.

It is a natural human trait to congregate with ones own kind. Blacks wanted to force whites to accept them as equals during the 50s - 70s, and the gubment gave them what they demanded, but they soon found out that social integration is very different from gubment dictated integration. Like people join in with people like them, and the gubment can't dictate that. It's very interesting to look at old church records and find that black slaves and owners were members of the same church, buried in the same cemetery, and shared many common traits. Yet today, since both groups are equal they tend to segregate to each's own kind. I remember hearing for the first time when I moved to St. Louis...."oh, you can't go in that neighborhood, that's an Italian neighborhood". HUH? News to me. I had never heard of ethnic division before, other than the two in the South. Social segregation is a fact of life....even for cupcakes.

No, I think a lot of blacks want it both ways. They want "theirs", but then they also want total acceptance by everyone and in every way. Remember last year when they were so upset about the Oscars -that no black movies were nominated - yet they turn around and have th BET awards.
Things changed during the Obama Administration. His comments about high profile arrests of black people made a lot of them feel that they should get special treatment. Do you know how many times he had all black shows at the WH for an all black audience? Michelle clearly hated and resented white people. He didn't do anything to quell face riots. He supported their idea that they were "entitled". So now they think like that. I just read about some Memorial Day even that was limited to just black people, and the host claimed that white people were just jealous that they coudn't attend because they weren't black. Lots of talk circulating again about "White Privlege". Friend of mine posted some BS about "fear of my life" defense was just another excuse to kill black people. just by coincidence, I found a story f a white guy that was killed by police becasue he had his wallet in his hand. and the defense was "fear for my life" by police.

Wow.....so much to say here but will relegate it to simple jealousy. They will always be jealous...ever had any jealousy person support you and your endeavors? Yes...Obama magnified it all but in the end the truth doesn't change. Notice there are no more Ferguson's or Baltimore's? Yeah....the truth never ends...
