Integration


I talk about what's behind the words....The meaning...That really isn't the meaning

The emancipation proclamation ended slavery.. did it really?
Law that ended segregation.. never really ended segregation..

People talk about systemic racism..some people say it exists other say it doesn't

No matter how many Laws we make against segregation.. It doesn't end it.. Systematic racism.. can be define as systematic segregation.. People who believe in segregation are racists.

To understand what's behind segregation one must understand what's behind integration.. What is integration?.. what is the difference between integration and assimilation?

I grew up believing the Lie.. that Black people did not want to be assimilated into America..That black people were not the same as Us.. different culture , different goal, different understanding...It was not US trying to integrate them.. it was them not wanting to be integrated. Integration for them was only as it related to their benefit..

It was mostly a LIE.

So now we have reached the crossroads of integration and segregation.. What does it mean?.

It was a lie in the past.. And for republicans it's an expanded Lie..It worked for so long to make America great.. what the hell... do it again.. Makes America Great Again.. Convince Americans the truth doesn't work but the LIE does .Systemic Segregation, by State, by race, and by political ideology.

The irony is .. What's makes it work is not THE Lie.. but the lie of the backlash
.

integration doesn't happen by laws.. it happens by understanding..Segregation prevent understanding'

It's began with Obama..and understanding has grown ever since.. We are not there yet.. still a ways to go..

Through understanding we accentuate our similarities instead of differences.. Assimilation is not a Law or a demand.. It just happens or it doesn't happens. it happens with commonality.

Over the last few y7ears black people have been assimilated into this country more than the two hundreds prior. It not something you notice without looking for it. for most black people they don't even know it's happening.

America over the last few years, has been introduced to black people....the real kind.. not the Lie kind. And most black people don't even realize they are becoming more White American....both in the good and bad of that.

Integration happens when you can see in a person.. that are just like YOU.. What happens to them .. happens to You

Seeing black American in all walks of life is tantamount to integration..
At this point it's a must.. To solve Systemic segregation..
but the backlash still can exist... Because It's only a solution .. Not a Right.

THE BLACK AMERICANS WE SEE HERE AS ARTISTS OR TOURISTS ARE REALLY VERY VERY AMERICAN AS FAR AS I CAN TELL. AMERICANS, AS WELL AS EUROPEANS COME IN DIFFERENT SHAPES, SIZES AND COLORS NOW AND MANY PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT CULTURES HAVE BECOME WELL INTEGRATED MEMBERS OF THEIR TOWNS AND COUNTRIES. EFFORTS HAVE TO BE MADE ON BOTH SIDES.

    Quoting Archer62:

Yes

There is much more mental a idea to integration than physical one..We create a legal aspect to the physical one , but not the mental one... Same goes for segregation. It goes both ways.. for the most part it doesn't happen by laws, edicts, or even rationalizations... It just happens
I always say I hate "LABELS" .... labels are created by segregation, and resulting in the lack of exposure to the the truth.
the physical exposure.. help to create a new mental idea..It also goes both ways. in verifying the truth and verifying the lie of the "labels"
From my experience.....black women have been segregated in America..since the beginning to a greater extent than any other group..A silent majority of the black experience in America. Black women have now been exposed to the rest of America..They are the key to integration.. That has always been thwarted by White Men and black men. they are integrating and assimilating.. they are changing the face of America..
