After his talk I stood up and asked this question.... What is the difference between segregation and separation. To this day his answer confuses me. So he said the difference was that Black Separatists want to be separate. To which I replied but using that logic there is no difference because the whites are choosing to be segregated. I even got interviewed by the local radio station. (This was rural Kansas)
My point is that on a certain level I clearly understand what you are saying. However, no one is upset with any other type of group for whoever

This is where I get so disappointed when it comes to talking about something with REAL honesty.
I think you really mean what you are saying here and you do understand both sides. But what seems to happen instead of what you stated about is people tend to come back at a poster with "your side did it so it is Okay for my side to do it" kind of answer.
I wish more replies could be more like this one.
I don't doubt that racism still exsist. I am sure it is from all directions not just white on black. However it is not at the levels that people say it is.
It is clearly a call out from Obama to BLACK Americans and only black americans in this case. Why is it not ja call out to ALL AMERICANS if it is for all our good?
I don't care who the candidate is, he or she could NEVER say all white Americans need to back me! NEVER!! Make it any other race and it is Okay.
That is the honest truth the way I see it.
By the way I am not a Caucasian, I am a native american Osage although people think I look hispanic, so I have had some racism thrown my way, and I concider myself an AMERICAN!
I say this so people don't think I am a angry white guy sitting in a trailer in the woods waiting for the end of the world!!
