   Nothing was stopping blacks from building their own hospitals the same   
   way that progressives are now demanding that conservatives build their   
   own platforms. If they don't like the fact that whites don't want to   
   stink up their rooms by allowing blacks in them, it's up to blacks to   
   fix the situation... or are you admitting that they're not up to the task?
