holey rusted metal, batman!
gee thanks for thoroughly depressing me.
merely pointing out that simple solutions won't work
especially when enduring social institutions are involved, in this case.
we are talking about a divide and conquer system 1st perfected in ancient India by [Surprise, Surprise !] their aryan conquerors [Caste in Sanskrit is Varna=Color].
so far most of the solutions promoted to end racism have been too passive [requiring the racist's cooperation ],
are based vindictiveness, or have been co-opted by the racists themselves, when not covertly promoted by them.
instead of abusing and twisting the hate crimes laws, simply penalize racist and discriminatory behavior, by declaring such "people" Mentally Incompetent, for LIFE.
no vote, no guns, can't run for office, most jobs out of reach, especially those that have a formative role on society so they can't spread their hate to future generations [teachers, LEO's, etc.]
no more taxpayers dollars wasted on plantations *COUGHING* prisons, ostracism is much cheaper
and will kill multiple birds with one stone.
no more "keep the white man down/ they iz pers'cutin us white folk/ dey tuke ar jabs" bs/ conspiracy claims
as they have made their own beds.
even the "smarter"[] ones will either eventually give themselves away, or be forced to self-reprogram themselves
due to having to repress their regressive and objectionable behavior.
Thought control and reprogramming. George Orwell would be proud.
Would your totalitarian dream include all racists or just white racists? Would Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton be forced into reeducation camps too?
you have twisted my words to suit your delusions
is further proof required ?
all of them of course,
unlike some
I do not discriminate.
Actually you do...you like to bring the full force of government to punish thoughts you don't like. People who think like you, are of course sane--the mantra of every dictator since the dawn of man--and people who don't think like you get put away. The Soviets did this in their psych-prisons, so you have an intellectual friend in Stalin.

If I may address a single item... a graphic in your OP
This isn't, and should not simply be about white people loving black people. This is a big nation and regardless of the history, today we are mostly all in the same sinking boat.
Besides that, focusing on race so myopically is to ignore the obvious... that it is a multi-lane highway. People of ALL races are suffering. Moreover, if there is EVER going to be a hint of racial unity in this nation, we need to toss out this notion that one person's hurts better than the next or one race's blood bleeds redder than another.
I wish I could change history. I wish I could go back 150 years and take my regional ancestors by the neck and shake some sense into them... to see just how utterly and forever wrong slavery was, is and always will be. But we can't live in the past. History is there to teach lessons, not chain us to the ghosts of yesterday.
This country needs to set aside all of its divisions... racial, political and otherwise, before it's too late and we no longer have a nation to share.
i agree with you but, consider that george zimmerman is thought of as a white person and although he's partially white, he's not any more white than our president is. as a result, i do believe the group that needs to know other people in the usa love them, would also be the same group that thinks of anyone who isn't of obvious african descent, as white.

oh my did i forget to post my disclaimer ?
"but feel free to disregard my words as I Am quite "Insane"
proof you've not done your due diligence, nothing prevents you from examining my posting history
[I have in your case, so i know whereof I speak ]
I am a firm and steadfast advocate of the destruction of society and the state.
so you can add persecution complex to your list of maladies then.
ostracism and shunning do not require the "full force of government" only individual and community level choices
you are after all free to take your bigotries elsewhere...
once again you've twisted my post
but hey it bumps the thread
and proves my point regarding institutions by putting the ignorance and "sanity" on display by providing an example

1-You said "declared mentally incompetent" which implies an official designation. 2- You are not important enough to do a fullblown thread research so I just respond to what you post here. I get it, you like to harm people who don't think like you, rather than believing in freedom of thought. That is really the most bigoted and insane position. Of course it may be cool to your hipster friends to be such a radial anarchist, but that is such a silly fantasy held by adolescent boys who don't have to work for a living..

1- no it does not require any official intervention, I have declared you mentally incompetent based on your postings on other threads trayvon etc. in addition to your childish trolling herein
what paucity of Imagination.
which leads us to :
2- you are not important enough to waste any further efforts on
especially in light of 1.

I thought the same thing when I first read this op. I may agree with the essence of what he says but I have a suspicion that the op may be indulging in hyperbolic irony (a little over the top) to actually make the opposite point he is making.
Just a suspicion

I think it would do a lot more to show we "love" each other through our actions. Not just one community, or race, or political party, or state.
Healing our nation as a whole (in the United States) will result in every community being healed as a matter of course.
We are all in trouble, not just one demographic.

definitely, but the inner cities are already in crisis mode
what can it hurt to tell these people that we love them?

so no one here, including you, thinks it would be a productive and socially beneficial thing to do, to
tell the black community that the rest of the usa loves them and not to believe the lies that we don't love them?
