What exactly is that? We have different average iq's, behaviors, culture, civilizations... what do we have in common that will allow us to live together? As jefferson once said: Nothing is more certain written in the book of fate than that these people are to be free. Nor is it less certain that the two races, equally free, cannot live in the same government. Nature, habit, opinion has drawn indelible lines of distinction between them.
We do have the same culture though. Being American means something. We are led to believe we have different ones and for the past 60 or more years we have been pushed further apart. Unfortunately the black trashy culture has been pushed and elevated into the mainstream, but I know many Black people who are appaled by that the same way you and I are appaled by honey boo boo and the like.
I believe that if we weren't forced to integrate, integration was happening naturally.
Black Americans were church going, family oriented, freedom loving patriots.
Of course there was some contention, we have a rough history. But we had 2 successful parallel societies and I believe people were genuinely coming together on their own. Black people acting like normal Americans would have earned respect from even the staunchest opponents over time by example and small exposure. Forcing integration just caused more fights from the strongest opinions on both sides.
We are constantly being messed with by the powers that be. That's the issue.
They frame the argument as though the most extreme opinions are the only options and that one of them is morally superior.
Global warming, minimum wage, Immigration. Just everything.
It makes sense That's what happened with integration as well.
People are just people. We can all improve and change over time. There is always a chance for redemption. Putting people in situations that encourage growth unfortunately isn't something we currently do culturally, if we did things would change.
Black and white we are American. We have more in common than we can realize.
As far as the foreigners I agree. Close the borders.

I can assure you your iq isn't that impressive.
