Woke SJWs are a tiny portion of the total population and they continuously blow everything out of proportion. It goes like this

But I am not trying to find out who to blame for forced integration. I am merely telling everyone that it's a failed concept and that we should let people live near and associate with whoever they want.


And people can already do that.

People have been moving away from black people forever, people call it white flight, gentrification, whatever.

Get the hell out of inner cities if you don't like the crime - anyone still in an inner city at this point is there by choice. You'll find that black people outside of the ghetto inner cities are normal good people.

Poverty breads crime and crime obviously isn't desirable. Some groups have had significant advantage over others for prolonged periods of time resulting in disparity. For a lot of people employment exists in inner cities and people can only afford rundown shit hole neighbourhoods. That's reality.

I don't think single moms living below the poverty line are happy about living in a slum, I'm fairly certain they would be pretty happy with a nice suburban neighbourhood home.

We can dive deep into the hole but that conversation has been had on here a million times and typically devolves into reasons why there's poverty and one side saying stop being poor.

I'm not talking about moving to a wealthy suburb - you can do that if you're wealthy enough, but it's better for people to move away from cities entirely.

The cost of living is dramatically cheaper away from cities - "being poor" is not an argument. The insane cost of living in cities keeps people poor.

I would also add that the "poverty causes crime" is overly reductive and is frankly false - it has been proven that relative, not absolute, poverty is a main driver for crime - and of course you see this at its extreme in cities, where every person is either very wealthy or very poor with no middle ground.

Add onto that the reality of ghetto black culture. Poor black people commit crime at a dramatically higher rate than other ethnicities, while controlling for all other factors. Thomas Sowell has disseminated this at length.

My guy its such a dumb argument to just "Move out of cities". What do you think happens when everyone does that. What is going to happen when you move a massive population to another spot that doesn't have the jobs or infrastructure to support that?

Look theres 5 job positions open elsewhere. Perfect lets move our millions of impoverished people. I'm sure everything wont also skyrocket in price. We sure didn't see that in COVID when suddenly people could remote work... its not like Canadian places that were affordable suddenly became significantly unaffordable. /End sarcasm. Halifax is a great case study for that. People left the inner city of Toronto. 1 bedroom apartments sub $1,000 and affordable now $2,000 because people could relocate. Homes selling for half a million now are suddenly a million due to the significant influx of people. Same thing in Kelowna. People left the intercity of Vancouver, Kelowna homes skyrocketed.

According to this logic, a black person's house also uses public utilities that white people's tax money pays for, therefore his house should be open to white people.


re-read what Netflix wrote and pay attention to the word public. And in case you couldn't figure this out of your own, homes are not public... :wacko:

you seem to have a real issue with the idea that people should have equal rights. frankly, you're sick in the head.

I know that people's homes aren't places of public accommodation. I was just going by Netflix's logic that anything that uses public utilities should all be open to the public, which would mean nothing is true private.

Black people should have rights, however they shouldn't expect to have access to white people's living spaces. White people don't owe black people their company, jobs, a place in their neighborhood...etc.
