  • Progressive democrats during WW1 under Wilson segregated DC and the US Army. Southern democrats segregated blacks and wouldn't let them attend white schools. How could any black American be conned into voting democrat? Even Martin Luther King was a republican.

  • @laughingtiger123 people naturally segregate themselves, dont need a law to do it. Most people would rather be around their own kind. Blacks and whites dont have a lot in common, I think thats the reason we dont get along, so seperate but equal probably seemed like a good idea at the time.

  • @dcouncil67 that is the most proposterous and idiotic comment that i have yet to read on youtube and there are plenty out there. blacks struggled and died throughout the civil rights movement to prove that they were just as capable and equal to whites. equality goes beyond racial barriers. clearly more research and less close minded thinking needs to be done on your part.

  • @officialannaboo More research? Baby I lived through part of that era. I live and get along well with some blacks, but others have been raised in a different culture than me and we simply have nothing in common. People who share no interests will segregate themselves. It is the natural order of things.

  • @dcouncil67 You are making very broad generalizations. Not getting along with some individuals is normal, but to extrapolate that to entire groups of people is ridiculous. Also, your comment that the reasoning you hold is why segregation "probably seemed like a good idea at the time" completely ignores 300 years of prior history which created the idea that the color of one's skin was socially significant in the first place. Segregation was simply an extension of slavery not a natural occurrence.

  • @officialannaboo Perhaps you are right, but we are all free to hang around who we want now. slavery and segregation are over. If we dont like hanging around a bunch of people we dont like, we dont have to. We are free to move on. I wont go into a place that is not mostly like me because that is what im compfortable with and I am free to do so because this is America. We can go where we want and hang around who we want. No hard feelings man, thats just how I roll.

  • @dcouncil67 im not trying to start anything but how would you know if you never give it a chance?!
