Correct, and my questions stand. If people of different types don't mix then there is no innovation and nobody to do the jobs the others don't want. Among other things.
Unexpected means I originally planned to be a general civil litigator. Inadvertent meant that I never expected to be as exposed to other cultures as was. But the choice to travel and seek out the non touristy elements was mine. What about this don’t you get Mr. “NotBeenAnywhere”?
What I get is you were "inadvertently" and "unexpectedly" (your words, not mine) exposed to other peoples and cultures and now you want to hype that as some kind of example of your open mindedness and cosmopolitanism
Different neighborhoods and towns? Wouldn’t that result in seperate schools and other public facilities? Seperate but equal I presume.
My "Neighborhood", if you want to call it that is a pretty even mix of black and white. If anything, it leans towards black.
Yes, initially, and then with that I grabbed the initial exposure and desired to learn more. What about this is difficult for your tiny mind to grasp?
More than a few folk in Arkansas are 1) inbred, 2) uneducated, 3) idiots or 4) quite probably all of the previous three. The article wins diplomacy points for not listing these under "Weaknesses" too.
Not really surprising. I mean, he comes from a state that had to be forcibly de-segregated at gunpoint: Wait a minute....
Except if you knew anything about Arkansas history you would know that isn't the case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charleston,_Arkansas
To be fair, Hot Springs is really nice. Additionally, dropping live turkeys out of low flying airplanes was invented in Arkansas.
Point of order. The writers of that episode actually got the idea from the annual Turkey Trot festival in Yellville Arkansas.
Chad can't admit that the first Arkansas school to be integrated (in fact the first school in the entire old Confederate states) was Charleston, AR. Fully three years BEFORE the Central High Crisis. And Charleston was integrated WITHOUT soldiers and threats of violence all around. For that matter 11 black students were admitted to Charleston (a small, overwhelmingly white community) whereas only 9 were admitted to Little Rock Central High. Besides racism being involved at Central High there was a massive dose of "classism" and gap between rich and poor taking place. Central High was a school of the traditional white working class families and a brand new high school (Little Rock Hall) was being built for what was understood to be for students from wealthy families. White people who sent their kids to Central High believed (with a lot of justification) that their school was being sacrificed so the wealthy in Little Rock could "get the Feds off their backs".
Here’s the full (and interesting) story on that: http://www.encyclopediaofarkansas.net/encyclopedia/entry-detail.aspx?entryID=730
I agree. Visiting is always different. But in my various trips I've only encountered friendly people and beautiful scenery. Santa Fe is great and I love old town Albuquerque (even if it is full of tourist trap shops). Hell, I even made the jog to Roswell one year and even that place had its... charms. One thing I absolutely love about New Mexico is your green chile. You put that shit on everything and it's awesome. (Blake's Lota Burger = best burger) I always make sure I have enough room in my luggage to throw in four or five bottles. That's definitely on the politicians and law enforcement.
If you're running I-40, make a stop in either Laguna or across from the 66 casino for a Laguna Burger. Blows Blake's away.
I think your two statements are within the same range of the spectrum. Odd thing though... my neighbourhood is in the midst of a fairly rapid transition/gentrification. House prices have tripled in the past decade while commercial leases are a matter of bidding wars between established and new tenants. For all that, the crime rate and type have increased in their intensity as the monied classes reshape the area.
