You mention eliminating racism from white people but its not just white people. In our country thats dominated by white people we tend be the ones noticed for racism. Ive seen a lot of black on asian hate crimes after covid in the states for example. You have the Chinese essentially silently genociding portions of their population. Some Arab caliphates have been supremely racist while others were very open and friendly in the medieval world. The issue is its a trait of humanity, not just white people, to be very tribal and hateful towards those who do not fit your views, looks, beliefs, etc.

The problem is that the Black man was brought over to the Americas deliberately, and so the onus is on the White settlers to solve the problem now. It's no secret that close multiethnic societies simply do not work - cultures are divided along religious, ethnic, and linguistic lines.

There is however no way to solve the problem now other than repatriation. Given that the (majority) Black community claims to want to live in a society "free from white influence", repatriation to their homeland of Africa seems to me to be the most obvious solution to the problem which benefits both sides.

Problem with this is blacks in America have much more in common with white Americans than black Africans. They've been separated for hundreds of years and never lived in Africa.

The real solution is for America to stop being a piece of shit to its minority populations. Stop making intentionally racist voter ID laws, stop scapegoating minorities to attract white trash votes, and actually make things better for everyone.

This is false. Genes trump culture. Black Americans are more similar to Africans than to white Americans.

How about instead of you calling people to stop being racist, you ask yourselves why people are this way. Could it be that racism is part of the human condition?

This is certainly true - given that they have lived in America for hundreds of years, they are largely assimilated into Western culture, but they still retain their own unique subculture within America (though this differs - the highly successful black population, who are derided as "Uncle Toms" by the lower black community, have largely 100% assimilated into British Protestant culture).

And so, repatriation to an already existing African state is not ideal. I think the ideal would be to create a new nation-state governed entirely by Black American emigrants. This state could also be within continental America, which would be difficult to form as it likely wouldn't be accepted by the status quo inhabitants.

However, the state of Liberia is exactly this and still exists today, however it has been too long and the state has degenerated.

I think that hoping that everybody will simply get along is a fairy tale solution that unfortunately never materializes in reality - America has tried this since the civil rights movement, but animosity between blacks and whites is still prevalent today, and I would argue much more prevalent today than it was 40 years ago. America has had completely equal laws for blacks and whites every since the civil rights act, so there is no legal discrimination that exists. Yet, the animosity remains prevalent.

You need to do some very basic reading on the subject if you think laws have been equal on paper or in enforcement since civil rights.

How about you actually try and prove me wrong instead of telling me what you think of me.

I've done basic reading of the laws - the laws are certainly equal on paper, on enforcement I cannot speak to. Can you cite a current United States law where the rights of black people and white people are different on paper?
