Liberals, anywhere they exist, are thriving.
So again slavery and Jim Crow did not exist in California or Chicago, despite the fact that you directly cited slavery and Jim Crow as causes to these problems in places like IL and CA. Your explanation for problems for certain things in certain areas actually did not occur in those areas.
Clearly, you are neither a historian, and anthropologist, nor a sociologist. But you could try your hand at writing motivational pamphlets. You can start with this one, free of royalties: "Chin up! Nothing that happened in the past can possibly affect me!"
Why would liberals in places like Baltimore, California and Illinois treat colored people so badly?
Just spit it out already. You mean to say: "Black people are treating themselves badly because they're too stupid to know otherwise."
Why did blacks do worse under Obama than any other group? What do you have against black people Zack Morris?
Can you remember a time when blacks did as good or better than any other group in this country? What does this country -- what does
your culture -- have against black people? Wasn't a few centuries of slavery bad enough?
Must you keep persecuting them?
I haven't got any idea what you are talking about.
You must not leave the compound very often. I've seen them on Highway 2. Freaked the hell out of me!
EDIT:
Here is an example. A part of me wonders if a road side mosque would be allowed but I'd rather not have my scenic drives ruined by any kitschy religious structures.
But I am still laughing, out loud, that you would hold up a region based on forest rape, heavy industry and wild west tech corproate capitalism as some sort of grand liberal example. I laugh.
I never held it up as a "grand liberal example". But it is generally acknowledged that the Seattle-Redmond area is blue territory. Just beyond their city limits is hopelessness, despair, wailing and grinding of teeth.
You sure are. In this Seattle you love white people run from Rainier Avenue/MLK Way IIRC. Run from it.
A few blocks from Rainier Avenue is some pretty primo real estate, Mr. P. It's inhabited by some real liberal types. Lawyers, German-born UW professors and their real estate mogul Vietnamese girlfriends, Amazon employees, self-employed accountants who moved there from Belltown. Living a few blocks from black people (and not in gated communities) doesn't seem to bother them. But it bothers you so much that you live in the godforsaken woods, where things are so dangerous you have to run around in the dead of night with a loaded M4. And all for what? To get away from the blacks? For shame!
The fact is the minority communities have been the ward of liberal democrats for a couple of generations, and they have been destroyed, and none of you care whatsoever.
They've been the ward of 'liberal democrats' because teabagger Republicans don't dare dwell there.
On HBO drama shows I'm sure it's all over the place.
No, I grew up in a swing state that leans ever so slightly Republican (certainly my part of it tilted that way). It was a state that suffered hard from the real estate bust. Prior to that, lots of Californians moved in from places like the OC, snapping up cheap real estate. You would have liked them. A huge suburban development went up in the late 90's and after a few years, some low income apartments were plopped down right in the middle of it (they were nice looking apartments, though). All those Mexicans had to be housed
somewhere you know, so why not near the people they work for? When the residents found out who would be moving in next door, boy did their political colors shine through on their fat faces.
The development was not successfully halted, thankfully, and now all seems well. The neighborhood didn't turn into a war zone after all.
Moral of the story: go move to Belltown or MLK way. You might be pleasantly surprised at the fun you'll have there.
