To promote “racial reconciliation” after the deadly clashes between white nationalists and counterprotesters in Charlottesville last month, Brown University plans to offer segregated events to its black students and female Muslim students.

I suppose the hated "whites" will have to take our education dollars and spend them elsewhere. Let them wall themselves off, they are going to end up lonely.

Agree whole-heartedly. :nod

Scott Walker has nothing to do with Blacks and Indians. So, government sponsored segregation perfectly describes the GOP world as embraced by the governor of Wisconsin.

SP - just curious as to what the racial makeup of your friends and church is?

SP - took me about two seconds to find something that seems to prove you wrong.

Seems like I see some blacks and and hispanic, as well.
I know you hate Walker because of his union-busting activities, if I am recalling correctly.

I do not need the internet to see firsthand the effects of the Walker administration on minority groups in the Badger state.

Walker is a very bad apple. If you are black, your life will be better if you do not live in Wisconsin.

Please document this claim of yours.

Nearly everyone in our county is white.

The high school graduation rate for blacks is far lower than for whites. In Madison, it is a steady 50%. Milwaukee Public Schools has not seen 50% for years.

Walker refuses to meet with the tribes, even when they come to Madison.

Expect to see racial tensions escalate when Enbridge pipelines tries to expand through our state. There is actually a bill circulating right now to limit freedom of assembly to aid in arresting protestors.

Racial tension in our society is not new. Refusing to lift a finger to heal this social scar is typical of ignorant, arrogant fools like Scott Walker.

So, black kids not graduating at the same rate as white kids is Scott Walker's fault, and evidence of his racism? Especially when that has been a problem for "decades"?

Evidence? That he "refuses to meet with" Indians?

Pipelines and protests are evidence Walker's sheets have eye-holes cut in them? Seriously? Might as well say "Because environmental protests occurred during Obama's tenure he was surely a Black Power anti-white racist."

Wow. Why do you live in a white dominated county? White flight? Why don't you live in an area dominated by "the tribes"? Or by blacks? Don't like those kinds of environments?

Do you believe "the tribes" hold the same "anti-racist" views you do? Why are they even organized as tribes? Isn't that racist? They prefer to associate with their own kind? They even have their own local governments based on race? But Walker is the evil racist?

Too much cheese up in Wisconsin?

I would bet, that like the majority of virtue signaling white liberal types who decry racism and segregation, that he lives in an overwhelmingly white neighborhood, goes to an overwhelmingly white church, and associates primarily with white people.

I could be wrong, but it's pretty standard across the board in my experience.

We live where God called us to live, as I expect you also do.

Those who we love in our lives are best described as multicultural.

Our small town has a fair share of Ho Chunk members and we celebrate life together. I also have friends from other tribes from other parts of the state.

No, I do not explain everything in my life.

Scott Walker has not lifted a finger to improve the life of any minority in Wisconsin. The racial disparity, as I believe it is called, has gotten worse since Walker took office.

Leaky pipelines across reservation land is very much a tribal issue. The risks and leaks of the pipelines cross ethnic boundaries. They are extremely unpopular in the Badger state. It is not exclusively extremist in opposition, it is across the board.

SP - just to be clear, I have great respect for you and really enjoy your posts on your research, so please do not take my questions personally.
I do wonder what began your "hatred" for Walker.
Like I said before, seems that I remember you being upset at his union-busting activities.
I would be curious to see how you answer some of the questions posed, on this thread.

I would say, that the perception of racial disparity has gotten worse all across the country.
Not the reality.
BHO set this country against each other in every way that it could be.
Black vs White, rich vs poor, honest vs dishonest, illegals vs anyone calling them illegal.
I am not sure if it was deliberate, but I do not know how he could not see what he was doing.
And this was the reason Trump was elected, in my opinion.
As someone who has daily contact with minority communities, I can assure you that they are going about with their daily lives.
However, the agitators are continuing to stir up discord and strife wherever they can.

I noticed you haven't offered any actual evidence that Scott Walker is racist, or even that minorities' situation has worsened as a result of Scott Walker's actions...

The problems of blacks in Wisconsin and other parts of the country are caused by blacks, not GOP politicians.

The problem can be traced back to the dissolution of the black family, started by LBJ's "great society".
When this started spilling over to other segments of society, it led to reform efforts under Bill and Newt.
In 1964 the rate was 8% for the US, now it is 40%.
The rate for black births was 25%, now it is over 70%.
All of us together cannot survive this.
