^ With that attitude, it's a pity you missed out on the long-drawn-out drama of this thread:-

I enjoyed reading your comments about mixed-demographic education, but I'd side with Lucem on this issue:-

^ I assume that Lucem, like me, is thinking in terms of domestic attitudes to race, so talking about geopolitical warfare is a bit off topic, especially as in any case, there was so much white-on-white carpet bombing in the Second World War.

Since Vietnam our military operates strictly on the principle of white supremacy.

^ Kind of difficult to argue about what might or might have been, but, although the US is not actively participating, Europe itself still witnesses a fair amount of white-on-white warfare, doesn't it? Ukraine, former Yugoslavia, Northern Ireland, etc. If America hasn't bombed the hell out of a Caucasian country since WWII, that may be more about circumstances than deliberate racist policy.

As for lynchings, our arrest and forced plea bargain no trial system and the war on drugs is a direct war on black people with some side white casualties. Putting non-violent drug offenders (who are afraid to go to trail) 10-20 year prison sentences where they’re subjected to physical, sexual, and psychological torture stacks up pretty damn well to lynchings. In fact, simply shooting unarmed blacks in the streets of America by our police force IS lynching. So, no, I’m not convinced progress has been made.

^ Yes, I take your point that black people suffer more than whites under the US judicial system, but that doesn't justify the statement in bold, imo. My understanding is that lynchings took place with the enthusiastic support of the local population, whereas shooting unarmed blacks is often condemned in America, even if the courts usually take the side of the law-enforcers. On balance, it still equals less racism imo.
Plus of course all that progress that the US has made about segregated buses and restaurants. Let's not belittle what the civil rights movement has achieved.
