...could they buy up enough land to create a black sanctuary?

A city black people from across the country can go to finally get away from racism. Black owned businesses, black government, black police.

Shit, I know id wanna go there.

I argue that what the suburbs where.

The statement became... Not: "You can't live next to me"
But rather... "I won't next to you."

....and thus the Suburbs were born.

All towns and cities in America were formed when a small group of people walked into a random patch of land and stuck a stick in the ground with their belongings attached to it, this would be no different. Plenty of open, empty land in this country.

Racist white people will still mess it up if it was going on long well. This is literally happened in American history. Black towns were downing well and white people either stole the land or burnt the town down.

This wouldnt happen in 2020. Black people have way more power than they used to, which is why racism has needed to hide.

This is also true, while a disgusting amount of white America IS still racist, the majority of white America is NOT racist and would definitely leave black people alone to live in peace if this happened.

Keep in mind the dirty secret of white people using high property taxes as a means to keep out black people. I love you and support you and wish you success in your struggles, except I dont want you or your family to live anywhere near me lol. Just white people things.


Ohhh, Ya. And the School tax system...So the 'burbs had the 'good schools' and the city schools were a war zone.

That and, of coarse, 'Urban Renewal'

Pretty much every decision made after WWII was wrong.

~And we are dealing with that now.

I didnt mean it like that, I mean that because society and black status have changed, racists arent able to be loud and proud lynch mobs like they used to, so I dont think a hypothetical black city would be attacked and destroyed like it would 200 years ago.

I don't understand why people think this kind of segregation would work.

Black people are still people, and succumb to human emotions.

Even in places around the world where black people are in charge still have corruption and the like.

A corrupt system run by blacks is no different than a corrupt system ran by whites.

This would at least give black people a fair shake. There would be no racism, just regular people being judged by their personality and actions, the same luxury that white people have always had.

Yes, and this is one of the reasons why we should consider auctioning off unused federal lands.

Most federal lands are for national parks or to protect endangered species. Or you know, heaven forbid, to actually have trees. I know some people would prefer we cut them all down to shove in more houses and skyscrapers, but I for one don't want to live on fucking Coruscant.
