How should a decent, white population treat bears? Specifically, relatively docile black bears. There is of course the immediate and obvious answer "with respect," and I agree. However, when one makes the comparison between bears and niggers makes one sincerely ask the question: can bears and humans coexist in the same society, as near-equals? Most bears are better behaved than niggers. Moreover, issues with sexual mixing are absent between bears and humans - we do not have to worry about black bears raping human women so often. One can imagine bears being put to useful work alongside people, and it does not seem like a stretch to imagine bears learning enough human language that they can properly interact with society - after all, Koko learned sign language, it should not be impossible for an intelligent bear to learn how to communicate with humans. Bears are also fuzzy and big and soft, while niggers are smelly and gross. Bears are unironically more capable of interacting with human populations than niggers. I think it would be a better experiment to see if humans and bears can build a society together than our current experiment of seeing if humans and niggers can build a society together.
