[QUOTE]Originally posted by Doug M: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: [qb] [QUOTE][b]So how do you end racism in America?[/b][/QUOTE]. That's not the right question. The first question is how could blacks gain parity with Asians and Jews in terms educational attainment and become as economically independent and wealthy as those 2 groups? The second question is how could blacks gain parity with Asians in terms of incarceration rates and relations to the police? [/qb][/QUOTE]Good point. The issue is that ALL of America was racist towards blacks both before the Civil War and after. The South was beating the North badly which is why they were able to sack Washington and were all the way in Pennsylvania (Gettysburg, etc). It was the blacks in the North and South that saved the North's bacon. But recall that when blacks were first drafted there were massive riots in New York by Irish and other European immigrants.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAWu2cPAsjo And even after the war there was open racism towards blacks in the Northern states all legalized under Jim Crow laws. Meaning there were openly racist mayors, councilmen, police commissioners, fire commissioners, governors, supreme court justices University Presidents and so forth. Many Northern Universities profited from slavery and many Northern Universities were openly racist right up to the 70s if not later. [QUOTE] Stirred by the fallout from the deadly Charlottesville protest, Bryn Mawr College this week took steps to distance itself from M. Carey Thomas, a leading suffragist and perhaps the school’s most influential president, citing her racist and anti-Semitic views. The college will no longer refer in printed materials or on its website to its main gathering space as Thomas Great Hall or the building that houses it as Thomas Library, president Kim Cassidy said in a letter to the campus community. “While Thomas had a profound impact on opportunities for women in higher education, on the academic development and identity of Bryn Mawr, and on the physical plan of the campus, she also openly and vigorously advanced racism and anti-Semitism as part of her vision of the college,” Cassidy said.[/QUOTE] http://www.philly.com/philly/education/bryn-mawr-confronts-racist-views-of-former-leader-20170824.html So again, are we going to tear down and replace ALL of the statues and monuments to racists NORTH and SOUTH and how does this end racism? Every Northern city with an incoming flow of blacks during the Great Migration had a racist reaction. http://northerncity.library.temple.edu/exhibits/show/civil-rights-in-a-northern-cit/historical-perspective/why-philadelphia- And of course Redlining and laws related to housing segregation partly had their start in Baltimore: [QUOTE] “Blacks should be quarantined in isolated slums in order to reduce the incidence of civil disturbance, to prevent the spread of communicable disease into the nearby White neighborhoods, and to protect property values among the White majority” — J. Barry Mahool, 1910 Mayor of Baltimore, while explaining a municipal segregation law. [/QUOTE] https://stanfordreview.org/baltimores-legacy-of-racial-discrimination-b61a26128528 Desegregation Pennsyllvania Schools: http://www.phmc.state.pa.us/portal/communities/pa-heritage/desegregation-pennsylvania-schools.html [QUOTE] Although the 1881 law legally ended segregation in Pennsylvania’s schools, it was largely ignored. As passions during the post-Civil War era cooled, local governments found ways to circumvent or ignore state and federal laws, including the Fourteenth Amendment. In 1887, the state legislature eventually passed an equal rights bill that prohibited segregation in public accommodations, but like the 1881 legislation, it was generally disregarded. It took nearly a century, until the 1970s, to desegregate schools in Pennsylvania, but discrimination in some areas continues to this day. [/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
