you said that blacks should have bought land somewhere else if they didn't like sitting on the back of the bus, such as the montgomery public transit system.

again, i'll be sure to go cry some crocodile tears for you poor, persecuted white males and your long history of oppression in this nation of ours.
I am not sure what you base my race on.
unclebuck said:
i am not accusing you of being racist. i am pointing out that your views allow racism, segregation, discrimination, and the like to happen.
I don't think your views stopped any of those things from happening. Mine don't PROMOTE it, they just don't outlaw it. You don't have a right to outlaw peoples views, or what they do with their property/life in light of those views. With the exception being if they are outright hurting someone. They don't have to allow everyone the same usage of their things, they just can't use their things to pointedly hurt someone. Hurting and not helping aren't the same thing, once again.
unclebuck said:
bullshit.
have you checked a history book? back before civil rights, blacks had a limited selection to choose from. choice was taken away from them, and they were often left with inferior choices. i thought you were pro-choice?
seriously dude, check a fucking history book. segregation, discrimination, and the like DID hurt your fellow citizen. only a blithering fucktard would deny this historical fact.
Blacks could of went and bought land somewhere and started their own city that didn't outlaw blacks in the front of the bus, or gave them a better selection of shopping. As a person you don't have an obligation to other people to treat them all the same. The government does have that obligation, but the people do not. Thus the difference between a public business(A government owned/run business) vs a private business(An individually owned business)
Once again, you are trying to push me into defense of segregation. I will not defend it, and I don't believe in it. I will, however, defend the right of people to do what they want with their personal property. This is a lot like Republican's accusing Democrats of being on the side of terrorists because they don't vote for whatever anti-terrorism bill is on the table at the moment.
Once again, hurting and not helping are not the same. I have a well on my property, my neighbors are both growing veggies. I could give one neighbor water, and not give the other one water. I am not hurting either neighbor, I am helping one of them. You are not understanding the difference. Hurting would be throwing salt on the neighbors plants.
Also, that was 50 years ago. In another 20 years almost all the people who lived through those times will be dead. In 50 it is likely no one alive will have ever lived through it. The laws are not needed to protect anyone in this day and age, and in fact restrict freedom now. It is like arguing slavery laws are still needed to keep people from going out and roping some black folks up.
