The only long term solution to the black-white race problem is separation into separate countries.
Even Lincoln understood this back in the middle of the Civil War. Here’s what he said in 1862 to a group of black leaders at the white house...
“A Historic White House Meeting
Eager to proceed with the Chiriqui project, on August 14, 1862, Lincoln met with five free black ministers, the first time a delegation of their race was invited to the White House on a matter of public policy. The President made no effort to engage in conversation with the visitors, who were bluntly informed that they had been invited to listen. Lincoln did not mince words, but candidly told the group:61
You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both, as I think your race suffers very greatly, many of them, by living among us, while ours suffers from your presence. In a word, we suffer on each side. If this is admitted, it affords a reason at least why we should be separated.
... Even when you cease to be slaves, you are yet far removed from being placed on an equality with the white race ... The aspiration of men is to enjoy equality with the best when free, but on this broad continent, not a single man of your race is made the equal of a single man of ours. Go where you are treated the best, and the ban is still upon you.
... We look to our condition, owing to the existence of the two races on this continent. I need not recount to you the effects upon white men growing out of the institution of slavery. I believe in its general evil effects on the white race.
See our present condition — the country engaged in war! — our white men cutting one another’s throats, none knowing how far it will extend; and then consider what we know to be the truth. But for your race among us there could not be war, although many men engaged on either side do not care for you one way or the other. Nevertheless, I repeat, without the institution of slavery, and the colored race as a basis, the war would not have an existence.
It is better for us both, therefore, to be separated.
An excellent site for black resettlement, Lincoln went on, was available in Central America. It had good harbors and an abundance of coal that would permit the colony to be quickly put on a firm financial footing. The President concluded by asking the delegation to determine if a number of freedmen with their families would be willing to go as soon as arrangements could be made.”
Things haven’t changed much in this dysfunctional marriage. Time to peacefully, hopefully, end it. They consider us the oppressor. That’s the last thing we want to do. Let each side go their own way so they no longer will feel our “oppression”.
You’re one sick person.
You need to separate from this world.
We don’t have a black-white race problem. We have a Rat infestation.
We live in an awesome Country that throughout the decades/centuries has overcome pointless divisions. Blacks are integral to the American Promise.
The unfortunate divisions are developed and fomented by the Rats & their twisted relationships in the MSM — the unelected 4th branch of govt.
I’m interested in your Lincoln comments. AFAIC, Lincoln leveraged the slavery issue for pragmatic reasons.

Never thought I’d say this to a fellow Freeper, you are a bigot and ignoramus...and a coward. My black wife and biracial sons are likely more patriotic and pro Trump than you are. Difference is they aren’t bigots.
Please stop giving conservatives a bad name. That is some top shelf shit right there. I am also disappointed more freepers haven’t spoken out against this
aquila48; thank you for that insight into the thinking of Lincoln during a time of severe unrest and difficult change in America.
I don’t know why some Freepers are condemning you personally for something Lincoln said. Ignorance I suppose.
How many times have we all heard the short version of these thoughts; “we should have picked our own damn cotton”. Basically if they could have looked into the future to see the intensity of the problems importing blacks to work the farms and other labor jobs the 3% who owned slaves back then (including blacks) would cause they would have hired and paid people to do the work rather than buy slaves which was a routine event during that time as repugnant as it is to us today.
It’s clear to most of us many blacks are able to incorporate into American society just fine but many are not. I think it was those that cannot assimilate that Lincoln was thinking of.
I join others wishing we would have picked out own damn cotton. It’s really too bad many blacks will always be a problem. Treating them like victims only prolongs this problem.
I think blacks owe whites reparations for bringing them to the greatest, most free, country in the world. Instead they are pushing for it to become a Marxist, far less free, nation.
Multi-culturalism does not work. That much is 100% crystal clear. Not when the cultures are so different.
We will have turned a corner on race relations when “African-Americans” are simply referred to as Americans with no heritage or color qualifier. That may never happen.
Lincoln had some very good points. Had he been heeded at the time; America would be very different and far less volatile today.
