There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

It's not mandatory segregation so I'm pretty possitive when I say that yes, they do it by choice. It's a pretty safe bet.

If you think they are segregated by something other than choice, then all you have to do is present something that would lead you to think this is so. Isn't that logical?

I can't see why people would want to segregate themselves by choice. I feel economic reasons are probably at work here. And those economic discrepancies between white and blacks are caused by what? Choice? I think not.

You guys feel differently?

I agree. Blacks are gaining a better life all the time, especially those who turn their backs on the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons who want to blame the white man. There are many better black leaders who never get any press because they tell the blacks to forge their own way instead of demanding someone do something for them. That is how you make yourself a success, by forging your own path, not by demanding favors or handouts. That is why every election more blacks and minorities are voting for the republicans.

Why not? There's a building in Ann Arbor that is used by both a church and a synagogue. See http://www.templebethemeth.org/tbe/about_tbe

Once again we see the old trump card when it comes to race relations, the old economic factor. Why are these churches sgregated in the first place, well if you believe Hev it has to be because of the poor black folks economic problems.

Unfortunately for Hev, his failure to grasp the simple facts of the situation lead to his downfall. Why are the churches segregated??? Perhaps it has to do with the simple fact that they are of different denominations??? Does that ring a bell?? I guess for someone who hates religion as much as Hev, it would not. For him all religion is the same....a terrible thing!

So much for an actual argument based upon fact....instead we see assumption, and you know what they say about when you assume you make an *ss of yourself.

dmk
Conservatism, I repeat is not an ideology. It does not breed fanatics....But if you want men who seek, reasonably and prudently, to reconcile the best in wisdom of our ancestors with the change which is essential to a vigorous civil social existence, then you will do well to turn to conservative principles
