this post is to the white separatist who called c-span's washington journal this morning (oct. 15, 2009) to interrupt prof. cornell west with the dumb idea of partitioning 'the country' along racial lines.
it won't work.
first: not all whites want to live in one partition. i assure you that rich white people won't want to be in a 'state' with a majority of poor uneducated white (as they've been called in the past) trash! rich white's live in their enclaves like new england, northern cali., hawaii, and parts of maryland and virginia. the only way poor uneducated whites are wanted in these areas is as a guest worker!
second: you talk about partitioning this land as if it's the white man's land to partition. well...it's not! while whites are in an ongoing process of ripping off the native americans (including native hawaiians), this land remains theirs! your treaties are either bogus or expired, which makes you merely occupiers as you are in iraq and afghanistan. now, you can try to act like colonial brits (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rhodes_Colossus) and partition the land into separate little 'countries', but look what it got them then (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Anglo-Afghan_War) and look at what its got us now (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/world/specials/afghanistan/)!
third: there're a lot more racial/ethnic groups in america, than you probably suspect. and they will all want a chunk of 'the country' when you start dividing it up! almost every 'country' in africa and south america and asia has an immigrant minority here. i'm sure nigerian americans will want their own part of the country! and, you can forget 'drill baby drill' if you partition, because anwar will become part of inuit land, and i'm sure they're not so stupid as to let the oil companies come in and tear it up!
no...there's a much easier solution for you white separatists: go back to where ever in europe your people came from in the first place!!!!!!! (although, i doubt they'll have you, given your general financial and educational status as well as your backward politics.) we'll all be happier. (except for the euros!)
if the euros won't take you, then a better idea is a north/south split along political lines. we libs will take everything above the old 'border states' + the union territories + alaska + hawaii and you cons can have the confederacy including tennessee. you separatists can then kick anyone you want out of your 'country' across the border into mexico!
