    The Daily Beast seems to almost be advocating for re-segrgation. Would something like this eventually lead to calls for complete secession? Or would it become more like Utah:

    Good luck doing anything without the white tax dollars
    Also. Maybe you should Google black on white crime vs white on black crime
    You won’t like what you find!

    Ethnostates are a bad idea. Can’t support this in the slightest.

    The 68% of Georgia's current population that are not black might not be too happy with your generosity or logic.

    Wouldn't do any good. They would continue killing each other in the streets like everywhere else they live...

    Don’t let them call you “racist” for this. Statistics prove your statement 100%

    This is a bad plan, just like the segregation desires being pushed by black folks.

    What happened to that all black city that was being set up? Before going to an all black state, how about we see how the smaller things go before going big.

    Everywhere else they live? Black people are killing each other in the streets in rich neighborhoods?

    that’s true. But one would wonder why a race that makes up a much smaller segment of the population commits the majority of crimes Why is that? Lemme guess. It’s because of 400 years ago???

    It has a whole lot to do with generational poverty.

    Without getting all RW/LW on it, people are responsible for themselves. While environment is a factor, it is not a determining factor, except for those who let it be a determining factor. There are too many ways to improve yourself that cost nothing, that people should still be waiving 'generational poverty' as the determining factor in people's lives.

    People are products of their environment. A person who is born and raised in poverty is going to have a different outlook on life to someone who is born and raised in wealth.

    Crime is an expression of an unfulfilled need. It’s no surprise that people living in poverty are more likely to commit crime; and it’s not surprising, when you look at racial wealth inequality, that certain demographics are going to be disproportionately represented in crime statistics.

    I think they are a good idea. Diversity leads to divisiveness.

    What do you find wrong with ethnostates?

    Thanks.

    Looks like they’re trying to form a pro-black cooperative? That’s pretty cool.

    But in the community diversity leads to loss of social cohesion.

    In the short term maybe, but the long term gains outweighs that massively.

    Your quote didn't mention any gains, let alone massive ones. They merely mentioned survival. And two of the three examples were of authoritarian institutions. The US becoming authoritarian to overcome diversity seems to be a loss, not a gain.

    There's been a whole new country founded on this principle - Liberia; so, with this "new" idea, is History trying to repeat itself? Liberia's size is similar to a mid-sized American state like North Carolina, and its population of 5.2 million people is about half of North Carolina's. It was supposed to be a piece of America in Africa, for African-Americans. It started as an American colony, then achieved independence. I don't think it was a very successful experiment. It has the third lowest GDP per capita in the world, despite heavy foreign aid and foreign investment.

    I think that in diversity, there is strength.
