33% of Americans in 2024 now believe that diversity, immigration and multiculturalism is a bad thing for America.

[DrBanneker]

A lot of people in this thread laughing about White folks apparently powerless about this.

They can't change the numbers and demographic trajectory easily but they still control politics and economics and can readily install open or indirect policies to enshrine rule by a minority population.

It is more urgent than ever to educate and concentrate on economics or we will be an underclass regardless of their numbers.

Wait, you just posted a series of photos about Jim Crow-era institutional racism to prove that racism hasn't increased in the last 10 years?

OF COURSE racism was worse back then. Because of the Civil Rights Movement and increasing social awareness, the level of racism decreased for a period, though it was still existent and widespread. During the last 15 years the progress shifted and its gotten worse, especially during the last 9 years.

It hasn't gotten worse.

The problem HAS ALWAYS EXISTED.
IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN THIS BAD.

That's the disconnect, you struggle with this because it runs counter to how you FEEL about the material
conditions that have faced immigrants and minorities.

Segregation decreased substantially in the 1960s-1980s, but began increasing again in the 1990s (perhaps earlier). That was enabled in part by a drop in antiracist activism during the Reagan Administration and beyond, but also had been the latent desire of the racists who never wanted to desegregate in the first place. Additionally, the increase in segregation after the 1980s has likely fed into the recent increase in racism. It's not like you're going to come in here and educate me on a subject I literally wrote a term paper on.

Whether or not segregation decreased doesn't change these forces being at work and continuing to this day.
The language changes, it gets more polite, but these things continue and have had a profound effect on Black Americans
in particular.
No one argued that segregation didn't lessen but instead that it is MAINTAINED.

**ALSO my post shows movement at the state level to demolish neighborhoods in the very period you mentioned
(post civil-rights 60s and on wards.) This goes right along with the growth of the Black middle class AND movements
to desegregate.
A lot of historically black neighborhoods were targeted and outright destroyed in this era. We don't have to go back
to "Jim Crow".

No one has argued that racism started with Trump.

EVERY bad thing can have ebbs and flows that are attributed to specific causes, regardless of how long they've been around. Slavery didn't start with White Southerners, but are you going to deny that they took it to another level?

Then why in the WORLD did you quote this post?

This undercurrent has literally always existed in American politics.

You gotta have a goldfish memory if you think this shyt is "new".

What happened to Mexican immigrants ?
what happened to Asian immigants?
The Irish? Italians? Blacks during reconstruction?

Anyone who thinks this is "new" or a result of "Trump" is incredibly fukking naive.

I'm not tracking why you quoted me in the first place.

 

[Insensitive]

Started with The Chinese Immigration Act and been on since!

I'm saying.

I have no idea how people don't get my posts.

Multiculturalism, Diversity and how Americans react to it has a LONG history in this country.

It isn't "new" and I'm sick of people dressing up ancient issues in this country like the shyt just started
two presidential terms ago.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

It hasn't gotten worse.

OP gave you direct evidence that it has.

What evidence do you have that it hasn't, other than repeating the claim over and over?

The problem HAS ALWAYS EXISTED.

No one has denied that.

Then why in the WORLD did you quote this post?

I'm not tracking why you quoted me in the first place.

Because you tried to create a strawman no one had stated in order to make an assertion that isn't true.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Started with The Chinese Immigration Act and been on since!

I'm saying.

I have no idea how people don't get my posts.

Then explain why the Chinese Immigration Act was repealed.

 

[Insensitive]

Because you tried to create a strawman no one had stated in order to make an assertion that isn't true.

No one "created a strawman".
You fukking didn't like what I said and instead of just admitting it's RIGHT went on a goofy ass tangent.

And now you're quoting me selectively because you realize you were on some bullshyt.

Stop trying to save face:

HAS IT ALWAYS EXISTED IN THIS COUNTRY OR NOT >?

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

Bet they have zero complaints about European immigrants because they don't see white people as foreigners. They see white as "normal".

Until one of em do something really bad

 

[Insensitive]

Then explain why the Chinese Immigration Act was repealed.

No one said this act wasn't repealed.

I've said and maintained the same stance:

This sort of antagonistic stance towards multiculturalism has always existed in American culture.

It's not debatable.

There is no debate to be had.

This undercurrent has literally always existed in American politics.

You gotta have a goldfish memory if you think this shyt is "new".

What happened to Mexican immigrants ?
what happened to Asian immigants?
The Irish? Italians? Blacks during reconstruction?

Anyone who thinks this is "new" or a result of "Trump" is incredibly fukking naive.

That's what I said.
That is the core of my post.

All that other shyt you're talking about is just that.

Bullshyt.

You said:

No one in the conversation had said it was "new", so why did you put that word in quotes? We just said that it had increased due to Trump. And that is patently obvious AND supported by the evidence in the OP.

Claiming that anyone thought racism was new and then listing random racist events from the distant past to prove "racism isn't new" is a strawman argument.

Oh ok.
So you don't like that I mentioned trump.

There.
Suck a dikk.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

No one said this act wasn't repealed.

So why was the act repealed, if the level of racism has never changed?

This undercurrent has literally always existed in American politics.

That's what I said.
That is the core of my post.

And it's a total strawman. No one has argued that there was a time in American politics where no undercurrent of racism existed.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Oh ok.
So you don't like that I mentioned trump.

There.
Suck a dikk.

WE are the ones who mentioned Trump, and then you came in with the cape trying to absolve him of all blame for increasing racist sentiment.

 

[DaKidFromNoWhere]

Then explain why the Chinese Immigration Act was repealed.

Ain't you supposed to be smart and know it all?
How you ask some shyt you already know?
I am not the professor you are!
