Side-Lines: Comment on "One of the reasons for being glad to be as old as I am is that I may be spared living to see a race war in America."
Side-Lines: Comment on "One of the reasons for being glad to be as old as I am is that I may be spared living to see a race war in America.": Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. – Thomas Jefferson

Nothing is more certainly written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them. – Thomas Jefferson In the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles race riots, Rodney King – the late career criminal whose videotaped beating by police triggered the event – looked around at the death and destruction his fellow blacks had created. “People,” he famously asked, “I just want to say, you know, can we all get along?”
And the answer, all these years later, is a clear and resounding “No.”
On the streets of America, in the Real World, the Dream has no meaning. It’s all Reality. And in reality, White people and others have to judge people by their skin color if they want to survive. People may claim color blindness, but when they are on the street the color sensors are turned all the way up. Prejudice has become a survival skill.
It’s unpleasant to face the facts about race in America. No person of good will likes lumping all the members of a given race together in the “potential threat” category. No person of good will wants to give up on Dr. King’s dream.
But the reality is that White America and Black America are two separate nations. They have two different and incompatible cultures. As long as blacks and Whites are forced by to live together by Disingenuous White Liberals bent on creating a colorless Utopia, an eventual race war in America becomes a certainty.
