Why don't Black Americans have their own state?

Question

Why not give them their own state?

The best thing we ever did in Canada, was give the French their own state where they could be independent and develop their own identity.

Quebeckers have gone from being 2nd class citizens, scorned as backward and uneducated Roman Catholic peasants, to being one of the most dynamic and prosperous economies in North America. By having the opportunity to do things their own way and be masters of their own house, free from discrimination.

Today, Quebec exports a huge supply of hydro-electric power, has diverse agriculture and manufacturing, and the lowest university tuitions in North America.

States rights has always been a means for different people to have their own culture and economy.

Answer 1

Canada's government is set up differently that that of the US. If we had one state that was designated for African-Americans and most moved there that would greatly diminish their influence in Congress. They would have only 2 Senators and their representatives in the House would be limited by their population.

Answer 2

The New Black Panther Party advocates that as well. Where are you going to give them their own state? Are they going to be part of America or a separate independent sovereign? Quebec one of the most dynamic and prosperous economies in North America.........surely you must be kidding! They have a higher unemployment rate than the national average, head offices have left Montreal consistently since the 1990's, it borders on being a welfare state, there is massive corruption in Quebec politics (the sponsorship scandal was just the tip of the iceberg). Their tax base has shrunk, much like Toronto's has, and they are crying to the feds for more money. Hardly dynamic and prosperous.

Answer 3

This is a joke, right? The blatant racism in this and in a specific post is ridiculous.

...Regardless, The United States of America is a country that gained its citizens through immigration and those immigrants eventually assimilated into the current population. While many people still have problems with someone of a different color, it is not a representation of the American people. Honestly it feels as if you are suggesting that we should forcibly remove people from one place and put them into another. Was Hitler providing a new state for Jews so they could thrive? Of course not. But, this is what you are suggesting.

The only reason that people are having a hard time assimilating into our world, even after so long, is because of people like you that will not allow it.

Answer 4

Living where you want to live has always been a tenet of our country. For centuries Jews were forced to live in areas called Ghettos, now it seems you wish to recreate it.
I don't even think your claim that giving Quebecois their own state has worked out so well as they consistently want independence from the rest of Canada and have left you with an awkward bilingual status and they are very persistent with demands for parity and very sensitive about their fellow Canadians who perceive them as uneducated Roman Catholic peasants.
We don't always live together in peace, but the idea of shipping all of any kind of people off to a separate state just isn't something we wish to emulate.

Answer 5

Right now, Black Americans have fifty states, and I doubt they would trade them for only one state, under any arrangement. They are our fellow citizens, no less. In this same context, I don't think Canada "gave" Quebec to its French-speaking citizens. If anything, Anglos "took" the rest of Canada from them, and "left" them the place where they were most concentrated. I suggest you rethink your assumptions about citizenship, demographics, and social engineering by governments.

Answer 6

This is the UNITED States of America. Black Americans are Americans. They are an important, integral part of the fabric of this society. Their ancestors paid their dues, Lord knows, it is now their heritage, their birthright, to be American.

Quebec is a sad compromise in my eyes. They barely consider themselves as Canadians. Periodically, there is a movement to succeed from Canada. That is not what the United States wishes to see at all.

Answer 7

Because Black Americans are Americans, and that's what you're not seeing. The French want to be independent because they'd rather think of themselves as French first and Canadian second. Black Americans see themselves as Americans first, as do all races who live here.
So the reason we do not have a seperate state for Black people is because we're not a bunch of uneducated, simpleton, racist, geonophobic, idiots like you.

Answer 8

the reason being that the united statesis a very super united states with a lot of persons. so as to no longer thoroughly disappear among interior the team, being observed is of top value to human beings. additionally, traditionally the united stateshas never had a genuine classification device, so they have never been conscious of gazing their habit in public, while to talk, while to no longer talk, what's suitable to assert and while. they have huge factors that are from a touch uncivilized historic past, the place sturdy manners have been in basic terms never in call for. The overcrowding skill that this is almost impossible to be observed and to be so, you may desire to be the loudest. human beings have some style of experience that in spite of they could desire to assert, is as significant as what all people else says and that this is their constitutional staggering to be heard. regrettably maximum of them are no longer actuality or awareness oriented. this means that to them, the significant situation is to be observed and heard, no longer what they are observed or heard for. the only thank you to get observed, once you have no longer something exciting to assert, is to be the loudest, and for this reason the human beings have stepped forward a custom the place all and sundry demands to be heard and does so by using attempting to be the loudest. this means there's a relentless extreme quantity interior the U.S, so as that all and sundry is continually a million louder, at 11 in case you will. And so, while the very few of them that actual worry to pass in a foreign country talk they do it interior the way they are used to, loud, unknowing that it rather isn't socially regularly occurring in civilized countries. in my opinion i've got faith we could desire to constantly no longer be too harsh on those we bump into in our countries, for regardless of each and every thing they are the few that actual afflicted to observe the the remainder of the international, and for this they could desire to be suggested...

Answer 9

But that is segregation, and America fought long and hard to end segregation. American culture is enriched by the mix of all races, religions, backgrounds...if we start separating then out, then that will be counterproductive to what America is.

Answer 10

Black Americans have their own state. It's called Liberia. Ever seen that country's flag?
