Clarence Thomas still holds this view of black separatism

Oh well? During Jim Crowe there was a higher percentage of black doctors per capita because of segregation. A more independent black community would be much more preferable than what we have now. Let the people from any community create their own racial enclaves of separatism. At the very least it's a pressure release/opt out for the more identitarians from society, making it much better for normies. Instead we have misguided liberal cunts ensuring that they're dumber, more violent and making sure we all have to deal with it and ensuring there's next to no repercussions.

The Clarence Thomas' and Sowells would be a complete boon to black culture if the do-good liberal wokesters would look past the aisle and see them for what they are. As a fairly redpilled person, defending Clarence, Sowell and Ben Carson vehemently when they're brought up makes liberals heads spin.

Possessing small amounts was decriminalized in 2014 by referendum but violations are still Federal:

"Although the District of Columbia has decriminalized possession of up to two ounces of marijuana for persons over the age of 21, federal law continues to prohibit the possession or use of any amount of marijuana. As a result, federal law enforcement officers may arrest anyone in the District of Columbia for possession or use of any amount of marijuana as a violation of federal law."

People really somehow think a state (or in this case the local government of D.C.) making it no longer a state crime to posses marijuana somehow makes it not a federal crime there because magic or something.

Can someone translate this to White for me? I can't figure out, even from context, what this imbecile in the video is trying to say besides a very general sense of distress that police are doing things in his presence.

Put simply: the mere existence of police is racism. Lemme break it down in black:

"Now here's a likkle truth, open up your eye
While you're checkin' out the boom-bap, check the exercise
Take the word overseer, like a sample
Repeat it very quickly in a crew, for example
Overseer, overseer, overseer, overseer
Officer, officer, officer, officer
Yeah, officer from overseer
You need a little clarity? Check the similarity
The overseer rode around the plantation
The officer is off, patrollin' all the nation
The overseer could stop you, "what you're doin'?"
The officer will pull you over just when he's pursuin'
The overseer had the right to get ill
And if you fought back, the overseer had the right to kill
The officer has the right to arrest
And if you fight back they put a hole in your chest (woop)
They both ride horses
After 400 years, I've got no choices
The police them have a likkle gun
So when I'm on the streets, I walk around with a bigger one (woop-woop)
I hear it all day
Just so they can run the light and be upon their way
Yes indeed
Yes indeed
Yes indeed
Yes indeed
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da police
Woop-woop, that's the sound of da beast"

Get it?

If you check /r/newjersey, they're all either denying that OP's electric bill is as high as they say it is, blaming OP for using too much power, blaming Trump for shutting down offshore wind construction, or blaming nonexistent AI datacenters.

They will never learn.

Why they sacred of nuclear power? It’s arguably the greenest energy you can ever have.

The Simpsons, three Mile Island, and Chernobyl

But their go-to multicultural green-focused European hellhole haven, France, is like 80% nuclear powered. And getting cleaner and safer every day.

Liberals in America have ensured that their ancient nuclear facilities are working harder and well past their life expectancy due to not building new facilities.

This is another fun fact to make modern liberals heads spin.

Another is that a similarly situated liberal hellhole Germany's Green Party took this retard strategy further and shut down already operating nuclear facilities andn instead, burned coal. Literally. For energy. As a green party. Coal.

that was the point of the whole separate but equal thing. In my area there wasn't much of a difference in outcome from segregation (which was still state law until 1996 technically). We are so rural that really only education and housing was segregated.

I like to pick through the old "Colored Camp" as it was called for antiques and such. it hasn't been developed any since it was abandoned in the early 70s so there are still a lot of cool junk to find in the winter when the Kudzu is dead.

I think it goes a bit further than separate but equal. Separate but equal is the opt out. In allowing that, it's saying society at the macro broadly demands a certain level of civility.

When the National Guard put guns and bayonets to the backs of citizens to comply in Little Rock, the biggest crime was that we overlooked it being government overreach to correct government overreach.

In short, the government should just fuck off with race shit. They are not good at it.

Fear mongering over Fukushima, Chernobyl, and, 3 Mile Island. Honestly, the sheer amount of abuse Fukushima took and their melt down isn't even close to the other two should be an endorsement of nuclear power.
