That was tried by assorted racists prior to the Civil Rights Movement.  It used to be quite traditional to deny service at restaurants and hotels, to save the back of the bus for minorities.  I didn't think you were that sort of conservative.  If you are providing goods or services to the public, you might find the government and liberal media will pay attention.  A lot of people do frown on that sort of thing.  If you are a church or private club, that is officially another matter, but you will feel the pressure.

You know there is so much more human interaction between people of different races in workplaces and on the internet and so forth these days that it's getting hard tell the difference between natural hatred or natural dislikes that occur between different people and polar opposites and that which occurs between the racist people these days. So, you can roll with racism and milk racism for whatever it's still worth on the liberal side these days. Yes. Liberal pressure still seems pretty high right now as blacks are now killing each other like crazy and blue cities and blue states are teetering on brink of financial disaster as Black Lives Matter ignores and continues blaming police for the shitty lives of of its people. Hmmm...Whatever, we'll see what America really thinks come November.

We know that the police can't be blamed for the black crime waves in the cities, and know that we need qualified police from their own community to try and tamp them down. Just because the blacks commit more crime these days, does not excuse the police from breaking the law and becoming criminals themselves in the way they mistreat and murder innocent black people. Blacks, as Jessie Jackson encouraged them to do, need to uplift themselves beyond crime and find their way beyond it. Whites can't be blamed entirely for their crimes. There's really no excuse for crime, and it does hurt their cities. In previous times, blacks in the ghettos committed less of it. They also had better communities years ago which were less driven apart by urban black removal and drug wars too. There's no basis for connecting any current crime waves to the black lives matter movement. Such waves have been an ongoing problem for decades.

Allowing people of any race to live in poverty amidst riches, and in such uneducated conditions amidst such talent, is not right. If a nation cannot help the many who are poor, it can't save the few who are rich. We are interdependent on each other. Many blacks have shown themselves to be as brilliant and as capable as whites in any field. So there's no basis for seeing them as essentially inferior, and thus to say as Robert E Lee did that they are necessarily liable to make everything worse. But 400 years of oppression does have its effects on a people. It is difficult for all members of a people to rise above such degradation and such physical, financial and mental/emotional abuse in just a few decades. So whites are not blameless either.
