I'm sure it will get shit on, as any reasoned approach does. But it's not wrong. When they see violence perpetrated as a response to injustice, they ruminate on why. Never once thinking about what it would be like to be in a similar situation.

For the next 5 years, the homesteader had to live on the land and improve it by building a 12-by-14 dwelling and growing crops. After 5 years, the homesteader could file for his patent (or deed of title) by submitting proof of residency and the required improvements to a local land office.
Local land offices forwarded the paperwork to the General Land Office in Washington, DC, along with a final certificate of eligibility. The case file was examined, and valid claims were granted patent to the land free and clear, except for a small registration fee. Title could also be acquired after a 6-month residency and trivial improvements, provided the claimant paid the government $1.25 per acre. After the Civil War, Union soldiers [including tens of thousands of colored troops] could deduct the time they served from the residency requirements.

By the 1860 census, there were still fewer than 30 African American individuals in Nebraska. That was about to change.
A movement of African American settlers began moving into the plains states. They began in Kansas, and were known as the “Exodusters.” During the early summer of 1879, a small group of exodusters arrived in Lincoln. Others moved to Omaha and Nebraska City.
Detail from, Bunch of genuine old timeWhile many former slaves settled in Omaha and the railroad towns where jobs were available, many also settled in other parts of Nebraska. In 1870, Robert Anderson, a former slave, became the first black to homestead in Nebraska. For some of Anderson’s experiences, click here. Interestingly, in another part of the state, it was a white family, the Benton Aldrich family, who encouraged former slave families to relocate to Nemaha County in southeast Nebraska. Several black families settled near the Aldrich place in the 1870s and 1880s.

African Americans settled mainly in Custer, Dawson, and Harlan counties. Charles Meehan formed a black colony at Overton in Dawson County in 1885, which was followed by the creation of other black communities in Cherry County — Brownlee in 1905 and DeWitty in 1907. African Americans were more inclined to settle in western Nebraska, as there was more land available for them to acquire under the Homestead Act.
In 1870, there were 789 African Americans living in Nebraska. That number exploded to 8,900 by 1890.

The Town of Blackdom
Blacks did not arrive in large numbers until the passage of the Federal Homestead Act of 1862. This Act enabled over 100,000 former Black Southerners to stake a claim in lands in the West. The Act has been called one of the most important pieces of legislation in the History of the United States. Signed into law by President Abraham Lincoln after the secession of the Southern states, the Act turned over vast amounts of public land to private citizens. Two hundred seventy million acres or 10% of the area of the United States was claimed and settled under this Act.
A homesteader had to be a head of household and at least 21 years of age to claim a 160 acre parcel of land. Immigrants, farmers from the East, single women and former slaves traveled west. The one condition in homesteading was that the claimants “prove up.” This entailed living on the land, building a home, and making improvements and farming for five years before they were eligible for ownership. A filing fee of $18.00 was required.
In the 1870’s Dora, a town in the Cimarron Valley, was homesteaded by freed Blacks from Texas before the town was overrun by cattlemen. Blacks also homesteaded near Raton, Las Cruces, and Clayton.
The most famous all-Black community in New Mexico was Blackdom. The story of the settlement of Blackdom is told in detail in a “Colores” program produced by KUNM Public Television. Blackdom was a modest town on the plains of the New Mexico territory. It was the first all-Black settlement in the New Mexico territory and had its inception at the end of the 19th century. The town was located 18 miles southwest of Roswell.

NO, thats what LBJ and you Ozombies want us to fall for... It ain't working. chancre!
Your entire agenda was well summed up by LBJ:
""If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

Now that we've pinpointed the real culprit, I guess we can expect all charges against the 6 Baltimore police officers to be dropped, right undercunt?
"Others in Baltimore.... were similarly subjected to lead paint, often without even the pretense of attempted abatement or removal. One such family settled a lawsuit.... one of the sons in that family, when tested, had levels of lead in his blood that were 2-4 times what the Centers for Disease Control considers cause for concern, and as much as twice what the state of Maryland deems official lead poisoning.
That son's name? Freddie Gray."
