Okay that was probably uncalled for. But the things you mentioned don't sound like bad things to me. The "Black businesses" thing is simply capitalism.They failed not because they were black and the others were white, they failed because the consumers decided to go elsewhere. and I doubt that all businesses nowaday are owned by white people anyway.
The black colleges thing was also a matter of choice of the people. You even said that no one wanted to go. Why do you suppose that is?
And being allowed to live with white people, doesn't sound so bad, it also allowed white people to live with black people. Some White guys found black chicks and are happy with them and some black guys found white chicks and are happy with them. If it makes people happy why was it wrong?
More personal freedoms are bad? The freedom to choose where you wanted to go to school, where you wanted to shop and who you wanted to date, where you wanted to live?
Maybe its because I'm from Utah and grew up with friends of all skin colors that has warped me to the point where I can't see these things as bad. But this sort of freedom seems like a good thing, and its hard to imagine anyone wanting to take these things away from people.
Personally I wish we could all just get over ourselves, our hurt egos, our bruised prides and just learn to accept one another. saying that all people are one way or another just seems retarded to me. maybe desiring true peace and harmony among mankind is a backwards way of thinking ... but if freedom and hapiness are wrong, I don't want to be right.
