Would you support a separate country for Black Americans?

Rep. Keith Ellison has supported this. I guess you could carve out a state from some part of the map.
I know many black people would like this idea. They could have their own government and call their own shots. I know many white people who are tired of being labeled racist would like this idea. Maybe.
Jews had their own state created in the Middle East.
Would that solve all of the racial strife or would most black Americans want to remain in America and nothing would really be different?
How do you think something like that would play out?

Don't they have a whole continent?

No.
But I'm all for a separate country for people who drive in the passing lane but aren't passing.

I can tell OP thought he had this fantastic idea when in reality, we did this already. It's called Liberia and it's an ebola ridden shithole.
Posted on 8/19/17 at 10:06 am to PrimeTime Money
Yes. It's called Liberia.
Posted on 8/19/17 at 10:07 am to PrimeTime Money
The answer is yes and
Probably not great but better than Liberia.

I think Israel as a state caused more problems than it solved, but that is not me advocating against israel, just my observation. I dont see how crating an ethnic state for blacks would be any different.
I would not support the idea, but i wouldnt care if others did or wanted to go.

They couldn't survive as members of their own country.

How about we give them california, wall it off from the rest of the country, and let all the anti-racist white progressives live in harmony under their rule?

So some folks would lose their traditional home and state to set up a country for others.
What could ever go wrong lol.

The problem is that Greenland and Antarctica are about the only empty places left.

No. This will not help unify the American people. If anything, it will only widen the gap between white America and black America.

It wouldn't be able to support itself and would be no different than what we have today, just segregated into one geographic region. A big black (literal) welfare state.

Good Lord. Despite then rhetoric you see on the news and on here, the average black American wants similar things that you want: a better job and to enjoy leisure

No.
We've had it drilled in our heads for years now that segregation is wrong, and, actually, it is.
We gain nothing as a society by insulating ourselves from one another. People need to learn to live with one another.
Homogenous societies are powerful because they share values, morals, and culture. Sharing the same skin color is superficial.
What we need to be working on in America is a system of shared ethics that transcend race. Separating ourselves means admitting that we just can't be taught. And that goes for whites, blacks, and everyone else. That seems really backward for a traditionally idealistic and optimistic country like America.
