I'd never claim that any race or ethnic group has a monopoly on violence. When your father was growing up, mob violence wasn't nearly as common as it is now. Violent crime altogether was far more rare, much less rabid mob violence. The mob violence then was nowhere near the scale on which it happens now. If your dad told you so, he's full of shit. Also, if your dad told you that whites in the south thought of blacks as "timid and cowardly", he was full of shit on that as well. Black people had always been thought of as dull, wild/savage, chaotic, and unpredictable in the south. Not as "timid and cowardly". If your dad told you that, he's making shit up. LOL! Are you saying that those mean, evil white people just went around harassing the poor, simple, timid, country black folks who never caused any harm and left everyone alone just for amusement, just to pass the time? White people were SCARED of black people in the old south. People organized to keep blacks out of their cities, and away from their communities because they were AFRAID of them, not because they wanted to find someone to be mean to, and decided they'd pick on these black people, because they were so scared and timid so they'd be easy targets. I'm not saying that blacks were not oppressed and mistreated, certainly they were, but your dad's rendition is far from accurate. I don't doubt that blacks are more psychopathic now than they were then however. This "integration" garbage, along with giving blacks the message that something is "wrong" with them if they don't have social outcomes identical to white, and don't successfully mimic white people in every area of their life certainly hasn't been healthy and has probably served to develop some pathological characteristics within the black community, which were not previously present or at least to a much lesser degree.
Do you know how many lynchings of blacks were committed (mostly by the KKK) from after the civil war ALL THE WAY until the civil rights act was implemented? About 2500. Do you know how many blacks die PER YEAR from black on black violence in America? About 22000. Blacks today kill each other at a rate many multiples higher than any rate the KKK could have ever hoped to.... Do you know how many whites die in America per year from black on white violence? Also about bout 22000. The interracial violence we have today, the overwhelming majority of which is one way (inflicted upon whites by minorities), is dramatically higher than any previous era. Blacks are statistically
50 TIMES more likely to attack, rape, or murder a white than vice versa. Surely you can be honest enough to admit that if the seats were switched here, you'd be very concerned, and you'd fell well within your right to say something about it, and would not ignore the racial element of it, and I wouldn't blame you one bit.
The right to contract could have allowed the clerk to call and have them all removed as soon as they stepped on the property. They would have never made it to the store. The door would have been shut and locked before they got there. Maybe it would not have prevented it, but there's definitely a good chance it could have. Also, if it were established that you can't go to someone's establishment for any reason they tell you that you can't, and people were used to the fact that if someone tells you to leave their establishment and you don't that the authorities come, and you get your ass tossed out, and that were an established social norm, that would likely prevent a lot of these incidents in the first place. Would the police get there quicker because it was a "whites only" business? I don't know, I'd hope that the police would get there quickly in any situation, whether it was a black business owner who wanted whites to leave his establishment or whites wanting to evict black patrons. I'm not suggesting that freedom of contract should only be afforded to caucasians, you know that right? Right of contract already has an effective enforcement mechanism. People have security guards at clubs who kick out rowdy patrons, if someone wont leave a store who's yelling and knocking shit over, they call the police, if anyone wants, for any reason, not to do business with a given person that's fine, so long as that decision is not on the basis of race/ethnicity. There already is an enforcement mechanism which, generally speaking, works pretty well. Nothing new is needed. If it ends up creating a need for more security for people to be free to make their own decisions, so be it. We can take the police who are doing stupid shit like tracking down, locking up, and prosecuting non violent drug offenders, or people who haven't paid fines or child support, and put them to work defending people's freedom.
I'm not talking about the "implementation of private discrimination". No one HAS do discriminate on the basis of race if they don't want to do so. They are just free to make their own business decisions and choose to do business with whomever they want, for whatever reason they want, which is a freedom everyone is entitled to, from every race and ethnicity. You act as if I'm saying that racial discrimination ought to be mandatory for private businesses, which is simply a misrepresentation of what I've said. I'm not talking about the "implementation of private discrimination", we already have private discrimination. People "discriminate" all the time. Whenever minorities move into a neighborhood, whites usually abandon it. People spend small fortunes so their children can go to schools with other white children. Most black people who go to church go to churches which are 90+% black. Since some portion of the black community has achieved upper middle class income, we've seen nice black suburbs emerge, and generally if a black family manages to starts prospering, that's where they move. Hispanics usually live in hispanic enclaves, go to specialty stores which have spanish speaking staff, signs and information in spanish, and sell latin american products. They often go to hispanic bars/nighclubs, and live in areas with other hispanics. Before there were hardly any nicer black suburbs it was a well known phenomenon that when black people became successful that they would still stay 'in the hood', which was just so baffling to many PC white commentators. It made perfect sense to me. They're black. They identify and relate most to other black people. They are most comfortable around other black people. They want to live somewhere that they feel comfortable, and that they identify with. They want to live in a community which reflects their culture, identity, and values. Money or no money, they didn't want to go live somewhere where they were the only black household in an alien environment, which would be so awkward that it would be miserable no matter how nice the house was. I also would not conclude that this means that they hate white people, or that it makes them "racist", as many other white people would not. Yet, if a white person expresses the same sentiment, then we're pointing and yelling the R-word, with torches and pitch forks. It's only white people who would be attacked as "racist" for openly saying that they would prefer that other white people move in their neighborhood, that they'd rather hispanic and black households not move in. Is that "equal rights"?
Quote from Trader7793:
A this point in time I would agree that the vast majority of mob violence is black on white. When my father was growing up it was completely reverse. At that time the majority of whites in the South, thought of blacks as timid and cowardly and petrified of white people.
