Racial Integration in the west has been a complete failure thus far.

response to C1 rebuttal: you state that we have failed because we have not yet attained a goal which by its very nature is unattainable. To gain true equality, to whom I ask you..... to the president, to the upper class, lower class... We live in a society that supports inequality among the same race, the only way we could gain true equality is if everyone was of the same value... getting rid of big business and government.... and yet that would still be unattainable, because there is always someone in power..... The only way that we can measure our success is by our progress and the only way we can fail is if we revert rather than move forward. and we have progressed. You do not doubt that.. Response to C2 rebuttal: Patriots vs the Giants, Russia vs the USA to the moon... there is one problem with those analogies, firstly it makes the assumption that the usa and the giants didn't also progress, progress was key to their victory, secondly how can we be beaten to the punch when our adversary is ourselves..... its fight racism vs feeding racism... and as fighting racism moves takes a step feeding it loses one... as if a giant game of tug-a-war........ As well on this argument you state the bigger picture, institutionalized racism... that term refers to racism on a personal level on a business level, on the level of the media and the government. But you state that someone calling you the N word on the street doesn't affect you pay, so I'll assume you're talking about on the business level... however you are completely wrong, the little picture does affect the big picture in many ways, as we progress in killing out racism on a personal level, the more it seeps into the business management... Think about it, the more people who are not racist in this world, the more people heading businesses aren't racist. translating directly from micro to macro as you state it doesn't.... fighting racism at its core, a personal level.... What enemy is the right enemy in your mind, and why should we be separate rather than united to face it? Response to C3 rebuttal: sub-point A)Those whom forget their past are doomed to repeat it, and I guess this holds true for those who don't care what our predecessors did. We may call it Separate but Equal again, but whether or not it miraculously attains equality on a monetary level you ignore my point that the separation of 2 things further signifies the difference between them.... until we recognize that we are one people. we will not see each other as our equals.... sub-point B)Well once again I state that, because in order to revert back to segregation we would have to tear hundreds of thousands of families apart, it should be apparent that racial integration is succeeding.... but to those who were beaten to death, lynched, burned alive, and flayed..... terrible things, happening to those who were fighting for what they believed in. Yes it continued, because they had to make history a better place where that wouldn't happen.. They kept going because the alternative was much worse, going back to.. What you're talking about is tearing families apart who want to stay together, thousands of families.... and for what? to revert back to separation. This 'diet' is several decades old, we just voted in the first African American President a few years back... Doesn't sound like a plateau to me.
