Other than the 1488 crowd wanting to be able to say ‘no blacks allowed’ in certain businesses, I’m genuinely curious what else is in there that should make it get repealed?
I personally would like it not repealed mainly because I would be personally affected by said policy obviously, but I’m curious in the reasons outside of just that, if y’all have reasons other than that, as AFAIK, the CRA violates freedom of assembly in the view of people who have that opinion.
Oh I've certainly said quite a few "racist" things in the past, not that I think op dug them up at all.
What I find funny is the lack of self reflection here, which is often mirrored among blacks in the United States.
On the one hand we have a world in which the civil rights act was never passed and the corresponding destruction of the United States economy did not take place. This is one in which blacks are begrudgingly tolerated across most of the country. But it's also one in which the average buying power of the black family is double what it is today and because effectively policing criminals wasn't functionally banned, one in which their subculture isn't largely criminal. They eventually gain an uneasy acceptance but are left in their respective enclaves largely in peace. Note, I'm not spouting off here, this is literally what every other large scale accepted outgroup has done in the history of the nation, most recently Asians.
On the other hand we have the present situation, in which the CRA lead to a huge sweep of leftist policy changes, largely destroyed, outsourced or sold away the strongest economy in the history of the planet, and... One in which blacks are still only begrudgingly but mandatorially tolerated by law. This situation and the accompanying lack of legal accountability has created a deep and simmering resentment among the white race, because blacks have effectively become a plague, and in the long term is likely to lead to a pogrom of wide scale and proportion once the white left loses their grip. A pogrom that thirteen percent of the population has no chance of surviving.
And on the whole I've found that they actually PREFER the latter choice.
It's absolutely baffling to me.
Agreed completely.
You don't even need to go hypothetical. Thriving black communities and businesses existed pre-CRA because they had a partially captive market: other blacks. Integration wiped them out because they couldn't compete with White businesses.
And for the record, you have consistently excellent takes.
Well first of all thank you.
And you are correct about black businesses in the past. It's actually a smaller scale example of what happened with NAFTA. When so called free trade was instituted, Mexican local farmers found themselves unable to compete with the economy of scale of the United States. We caused, IMO deliberately so since NAFTA was drafted and influenced by people who we now know as the WEF, the largest economic downturn in Mexico of the last century. And given that they'd just had a depression almost immediately before that since they outspent their GDP hosting the Olympics... Well you don't need to major in economics to see why they started pouring across the border in numbers.
