coming home to roost in beaglesonia

Those Indians buying up the land in Emmet County sounds like something you would be against.  I thought you were against nonwhite people taking over the land from white people.  Is it because it is Indians that you are okay with it?  I don't understand how it becomes a part of a reservation, if it's not continuous.  What do the Indians get out of it?

And I don't see how it's different from nonwhite people in Chicago buying property from white people.  They don't come in and steal it.  They pay for the property.  I think you may be referring to blockbusting, which was something run by white real estate people and victimized both white and black people, and you know those white people, if they weren't so racist that they couldn't stand a black person living on their block, they could have just stayed and block busting wouldn't have been possible.

And from your strange viewpoint you have a really odd idea of what is going on in Chicago like there is some kind of big takeover struggle between whites and blacks and hispanics.  Well I think the problem is that phrase, 'taking over.'  You know in algebra if you do some operations that involve dividing by zero all your math after that is going to be screwy.  Same with this phrase.  If you use a word that doesn't have a definition then the rest of your discourse doesn't make any sense.

We also have Asians and Arabs and Indian Asians, and well all sorts of people, and rich people who have more in common with each other than poor people who have more in common with each other  regardless of whether they are white or nonwhite.  And when people move to Chicago, they move there for a job or family or whatever, they are not thinking that this will help whatever ethnicity they happen to be to take over Chicago.  And when people move from one neighborhood to another it's because they get a deal on a house or maybe they just like the way the neighborhood  looks, but they don't move just because they want their ethnicity to take over another neighborhood.

I don't know where you get that people like to live with their own kind. Well there is that birds of a feather adage thing that goes around.  Ah poppycock I say.  People in the same circumstances tend to be clustered together but that is just the chances of history.  On the north side people are pretty mixed up, nobody seems to mind. 

If everybody was for their own kind to the disparagement of others this country would be all fucked up, just like if the states were all independent countries up to their own destinies this country would be a backwater. 

Those Swedes you speak of moved because their government wouldn't let them own land, not because there wasn't any land.

I don't see any reason to keep somebody who is Muslim or Mexican from moving here as opposed to some white person who would also be a stranger.  And I don't see how letting them into the country is being overthrown.  Overthrown?  I think this is just another version of 'taking over.'

Maybe I've overstressed the goodness of Democrats, well especially here in Chicago.  I hate to say it, but I think we need some Republicans, of the RINO type, which means they would be reasonable not raving lunatics.  Why don't you guys go form your own party?  Why don't you put up some tents in the swamp and invite all those tea party people to come join you in the freehold, and you can all arm yourselves to the max and parade up and down the borders and hate everybody outside the borders and be happy all day because you are all living with your own kind?

Oh republicans.  The problem here is that we have one party rule.  Generally if the party throws its weight behind some candidate that candidate will win and so nobody needs to fear running against anybody and they can do what they want, which is mostly to pile up a bunch of money before they get carted off to the hoosegow.  What can I say, we voted in Blago for his first term, anybody can make a mistake.  But when he ran the second time and everybody knew he was a sack of shit he won in another landslide. Well nobody's perfect.
