You know how many jobs it could create to strengthen border control? Not necessarily a stupid wall, but just stronger border control?

Border Patrol is already one of the largest agencies in the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United..._Border_Patrol

You see them all over the place here in San Diego. For every one cop, I'll see a dozen border patrol agents.

People really need to take some time and study the actual border. 95% of it is in the middle of nowhere through desert, mountains, rivers, and complete wasteland.

I'm flattered you think that, but no, I don't have an elephant dick.

It's a good use of money to people that think immigration is a problem. People that think illegal immigrants are taking jobs, not paying taxes, receiving more benefits, etc. I'm not gonna argue this because it's a fickle situation and I don't know a god damn thing about the economic impact of illegal immigration or the cost of stricter border control.

Putting racism aside for a bit....wouldn't whatever race happens to be the majority in a given state or even the whole U.S. eventually become racist or nationalistic toward anyone but themselves? White, Black, Latino, etc. That's been true of most cultures throughout the world anyway.

Social evolution isn't impossible. Creating excuses to tolerate it ins't great either.

The US is a melting pot though. When you talk about race are you talking about simply skin color? 95% of this country doesn't have roots on US soil that date back more than a few generations. So what race are you talking about?

It's something I've seen brought up before in a few think pieces related to Black Lives Matter (among others). The argument being that even though the U.S. is a melting pot, no matter which "culture" reigns it will inevitably be racist to some degree if they achieve any kind of longstanding majority.

I don't know if social evolution is truly possible with the way things are, but I think there's some merit to the analysis. Acknowledging racism as a problem all people share instead of just whoever the perceived majority is would be a start to fixing it. That won't happen under a Trump administration here of course...

It was also mentioned that you have some people screaming about white privilege, for instance, but there are many "non-racist" whites who feel as though there are places they are not welcome because they are white.

I think it is possible, and I agree with your first point.

For the second one, white privilege is referring to the advantages white people have at succeeding in life do to our cultural background. White people are more likely to grow up in better neighborhoods, go to better schools, etc. because of the history of this country. The idea of it gets really watered down and often lost by people that like to scream it out every chance they get. Try hard SJWs that do more harm than good.

No? I think every generation has become increasingly accepting and less racist.

I like how you put racism aside and then addressed another topic about racism though

no, elph. no one cares about your juggalo ass.
