You think maybe there was good reason for the "Jim Crow" laws?
No, actually.
Jim Crowe laws are just another form of law that allows what we modernly refer to as Balkanization.
We can't complain about Mexicans coming here and setting-up mini-Mexicos here they self-segregate and refuse to learn English and then applaud Jim Crowe.
It's the same damn thing.
We can't complain about different rules for Paula Deen and Jeremiah Wright and then make different rules for Jeremiah Wright and Paula Deen.
It's stupid, wrong, and ultimately self-destructive.
We have a common core of American values that can embrace the various cultures that are found here.
Until we start acting like the
ideal of America we will never have America in practical terms.
And I know you want that as much as I do.
