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.



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.


who ever said they (blacks) have that expectation? lol (that is not what Netflix was getting at)


if you're a business owner, you have the right to refuse to serve someone. however, your business will/may suffer accordingly, that is your right. i think its wrong, but im willing to respect that business owners rights.
this is not translated to who has access to who's homes because of who pays for what regarding public utilities. lol


and you do mean they (blacks) should have equal rights, correct?

Whites, including other races like Asians, Indians, etc. already self segregate themselves by moving out of crime ridden inner cities and into the suburbs. High taxes/high home prices serve as a way to do this without being a racist.

truth is life will put you into situations where you will need to interact with people of different "insert random adjective here".

how you choose to react is what defines you as a person. in my last job, i did a lot of travelling, and stereotypes were often the topic of discussion because of the places my employer started setting up shops. (usa/mexico/southafrica, hq being in montreal)
south africa was easily the most impactful.

for what its worth, i learnt this;
there are two types of people in this world. assholes, and not assholes. skin color is irrelevant. <--- big edit here, my mistake. :bonk:
if you're a racist, its pretty obvious which of the two categories you fall into.

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.



Why do you think I made this thread, :lol:



You need this to be true.

Most white people, when given the chance, prefer to live near other white people. They only live near people like you because they don't know that they have a choice.



I got a better idea: how about we make it so that white people don't have to board the same bus as black people in the first place?


We literally already HAD this choice, segregation has existed in some form in EVERY western country, we literally chose to end it..
If your nonsense was true this would not be the case, the only way to test your theory is to experience it, and we did and you were wrong.

Considering it was done by explicitly racist means like red lining and denying GI bill benefits to minorities I think you should pick a different example.

In my town the laws against integration were enforced way after Civil rights was passed

Inner city area I live in now is mostly minorities. 20-30 years ago it was mostly white, made up of old polish/German/Irish communities. Red lining happened a lot earlier than that. The white flight we’ve seen in the last 15-20 years has little to nothing to do with old districting
