when did i say we were better than blacks?

think of it this way: if we were a majority black country, founded by blacks, and whites were brought in as slaves, then freed but disenfranchised and segregated and faced institutionalized racism, would you be against helping whites to achieve the same footing as those that profited off their enslavement and discrimination?

Short answer: Yes, at some point I would be against institutional racism. "Separate but equal" seems to be alive and well and highly coveted by the left in America.

Minor observations, obvious to all:

1. Show me a white person living today who participated in antebellum slavery.
2. Show me a black person living today who was enslaved by a white American.
3. Prove to me that all white people are "born with silver spoon in their mouths", or for that matter, prove to me that more than a very tiny percentage of white people are born into wealth and power.

Who on the left ever opposed the civil rights act?

Don't equate party affiliation with left/right spectrum.

Unclebuck, for one.

A state supported institution, such as a Colorado public school that excludes students based on color, one that embraces Sasha and Malia and excludes blonde-haired Tommy solely because of their respective skin color is seriously flawed. Arguing to support this policy is no different than standing in the school house door and turning away black children.

To answer your specific question, the civil rights act was opposed by Democrats and supported by Republicans. I am not really talking about the civil rights act in this case though, just pointing out the hopelessly unsupportable state sponsored racism in this "Coloreds only" policy.

"Affirmative action" based on socio-economic standing would be a lot more palatable to most people, including me.

@ Uncle Buck

If that picture you posted in the "post a pic of yourself thread" is actually you, how are you as a "whitey" helping to repay those thousands of years of repression? I mean you personally buck?

I'm waiting for the big colleges to get "whites only" scholarships like the "blacks only", "native americans only", "asians only" ect. scholarships that have been around for decades. Unless they already got around to that, I haven't browsed any college scholarships in a while.

I'm going to go ahead and save UB a post and say oh you poor persecuted white guy. That's the response when you point out how racist and bigoted their ideas are. They have nothing logical to dispute it, so ad hom is all that's left.

You speak in circles bro. You use buzz words and make little sense. Thank you for being Republican.

as far as physics is concerned, black and white are not colors..

That is not entirely accurate. Even at the atomic level, atoms have reflective properties, for example Au, gold, looks gold and Cr, chromium, looks chrome.

Black is the absence of light. White is complete saturation thereof.

Nobody is completely black or completely white, physically speaking.

you're exactly correct.

there should be no different standard for the wealthy settlers who founded this country and the enslaved laborers they used along the way.

clearly, they were both on equal footing.

Actually, the wealthy settlers and enslaved laborers are on exactly the same standard. They are all dead and buried, cremated, or eaten by coyotes at this point and have been for many years.
